Rating 71.4

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.

Forgotten Course

I haven't played here since they sold the little par 3 , forgot how much I like this course. Easy walking, great features and friendly staff. They put some of the money from sale into driving range and maintenance on big course. Greens were really nice ( except for a couple with fungus damage, which is normal on this side of the PNW.) I will being playing this more often this summer.

Staff were great!

There was a mix up, but the staff took care of us. Also, when on the course, the marshal brought or a blue flag for our older friend so he could get around easier. Kudos!

Good Course

This was my first time here, course is in good shape overall but some of the greens are struggling to come back from obvious repair so a couple of larger bald spots in the greens.

Staff very. nice and all the non golf areas are nice and clean.

Definitely a good course and would like to play it again

Fun course

Course was in great condition. Pace was a bit slow because we had a group in front of us where all four were playing their first round ever. Although it was slow, it was great to bring new golfers to the game.

Great Day amid COVID pandemic

The staff was very friendly upon arrival and even let us go off early due to how open the sheet was. The only reason the course conditions didn’t get a 4/5 is because it was raining. Great round nonetheless and great value for the price.

Very Good Public Course

Flat course with enough thrown in to make things interesting, i.e., sand, doglegs, trees, water, etc. Not difficult but not easy, either.

Wet when we played (it is WA in the spring, of course) but the course was in good shape. Would have liked quicker greens but, again, it was a wet spring day.

Play time was excellent (a little over 3 hours) but, admittedly, course play was limited by the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Definitely will play again.

In great condition

Course was well manicured. Pace of play was great due to the 2-some requirement of the Chinese Virus. Easy to walk, well worth the greens fee.
