Riverbend Golf Complex
About
The Riverbend Golf Complex sits along the Green River in Kent Valley, Wash. Owned and operated by the City of Kent, the complex offers a championship, 18-hole course and a mini-golf course. The 18-hole course is one of the busiest in the state with more than 65,000 rounds played on it annually. The golf course sprawls across a relatively flat landscape, making it easily walkable. Though it may not be hilly, that doesn't mean it's trouble free. There are more than 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout and three lakes come into play as well. The layout is player friendly, with enough variety to appeal to players of all skill levels.

Was grouped with 3 others.. the woman came up to me, asking me to go ahead of them because one of them just had a hip replacement, so I played alone .

Fun course
Good fun course to play, one sketchy spot where you got to cross a bridge and you have to walk in front of a tee box and if they aren’t paying attention and hit a bad shot it could hit you besides that had a lot of fun at this course
Thank you for visiting us at Riverbend Golf Complex. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Riverbend Golf Complex. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Fun course but manage your expectations
Albeit I played after some rain, the course was not in good shape. Every tee box was destroyed, not level at all, holes everywhere, and difficult to have any footing. Putting green was closed this day which is never ideal, but not the end of the world. New updated driving range across the street but I did not use it so I can’t speak to that. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was great for a Sunday morning. All in all, for $45 it’s a decent course but you can find better courses in the area to enjoy.
Hello! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Riverbend Golf Complex!
Looking more like Riverbend instead of Riverbed....
Course is drying out nicely. Fairways are nice and mowed and the greens are a little on the slow side making them more receptive.
Our foursome finished the round in less than 3.5 hrs.
Shot well but still lost money playing poker golf. : (
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Riverbend Golf Complex.

Perfect day for a round
Started right on time despite seeing a 4 ball of high handicappers teeing off and no one hitting the fairway.
Pace of play wasn’t too bad. Finished in 4:57 which for a nice Sunday was fine.
The course was wet obvs but didn’t detract from the Round.
Tee boxes were in good condition and greens rolled well.
All in all a great round was had a d loved this course.
