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.

Played on the best day of the week
Played on the best day of the week. The course was very very wet but that’s very understandable with the weather we’ve had lately. There was a couple of situations where the grounds crew could’ve done better with the course especially on the greens were there was a lot of standing water. I believe the grounds crew could’ve worked the water off better because today was extremely busy because of the good weather. And I believe it was hole number 12 that had a temporary green for some reason I don’t know why because the regular green Looked a lot better than some other greens. Other than the very sloppy weather course conditions the course is still very good and fun to play

Conditions in Feb
I was delightfully surprised that the course was not that muddy/soggy. Greens were very wet and bumpy.
We were lucky to find a beautiful sunny to day golf.

Winter golf
Winter golf in WA is what it is. This course sits in a valley so it's pretty wet. Standing water on a lot of the greens. It's close to where I live so with the $25.
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 course is important to us. We with the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens from the water on the course. The current condition is by no means 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.
Soggy but playable
This course has a good variety of challenges, and five (or more?) sets of tees. It was in surprisingly good condition given all the rain and the fact that it's in the river valley.
Thanks so much for the great review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Riverbend Golf Complex.
