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.

Okay Course
Tee boxes were terrible very hard to find a level spot to tee off from that was not chewed up. Green speed was very slow compared to many of the courses around Seattle.

Great shape!
Been playing here off and on since 2007. Greens were in the heat shape I have ever seem. Pace of play could have been a tad better but the cart girl was kept busy, no long delays. Restaurant was good.

Maintenance of the course needs to be taken care of.
This is my local course, I play here regularly, as I'm a member here. The greens are starting to come around they've been pretty shaky for the 1st few months of the season. The bunkers are horrible!! it's just mud. We're not going to play out of sand, you're going to play off of a hard pack they haven't done anything with them in months The tee boxes are in really rough shape, really rough shape! But for the price and the proximity I can live with all that. Plus, it was a 100+ degrees today, nobody here. Guys in the clubhouse are really friendly, and there is a great brewery tap house/restaurant right next door on the premises. It's a pretty good set-up. For a course that is the most heavily played in the state, you would think they might afford fixing the irrigation system problem and give the traps "just a little love". Still will play here and enjoy the day.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the sand traps and tee boxes is important to us. We are working to get everything at the course up to par. The current condition is not the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Riverbend Golf Complex. We hope to see you again soon.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Riverbend Golf Complex!
Cart Included?
We had a good time on a great course in very warm weather. The only glitch was they tried to charge us for the golf carts which were supposed to be included with the Golf Now purchase. (golf cart symbol) They finally caved but they say online golf does not include a cart.
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave us your feedback. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced when booking your tee time. Our goal is to provide our golfers with all relevant information when booking their round online. We apologize if we missed the mark. We hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for choosing Riverbend Golf Complex!

Above average, but not by much...
Didn't come out of the spring in tip top shape. A few greens have some damage/bare earth. Fairways are pretty hard, good roll. Pace was 4:40 ish. Warm day no beverage cart. grrr. My local course. Member of the men's club there. so you are getting an honest opinion with knowledge of how it has been in the past.
