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.

The golf outing. Photo submitted by mastergolfer12 on 09/26/2012
Beautiful day and beautiful course
Arrived early and staff was kind enough to get me an earlier start. Play was slow, but day and course were perfect for my first time playing this year. Definitely going bavk for more. Golf time made it easy to schedule tee time.
Flexibility and Kindness!
Had two different tee time and had one team in the middle which is not our group. Quite well arranged for playing back-to-back and they cleaned my hand cart after round as well.
It was much appreciated and made me in good mood even after perfect round in perfect weather :)
T. Eklund
Great round,bit slow but the weather was perfect. Bummed Golfnow did not use 5.99 fee to hold spot instead of charging whole round to card. I couldn't use prepaid card bought there.
Terry E.
Course was in great shape,weather was excellent and all things were good...average pace..can't wait to play it again after the heat dries it out a bit more.
Sun came out, birdies went in
Great staff, challenging pin locations, freshly mowed fairways and rough, nice greens and fun as heck! My only wish was for the restaurant to be open to grab a beer while my friends were paying up on skins : ) . Headed to Meeker Street Bar and Grill down the road (just east of the course on Meeker Street) for some happy hour specials and Manny's on tap!
Great day for golf in January
The day was perfect, the course was a little wet, no surprise for January, the greens soft n slow, again, no surprise for January, no restaurant or beer so that was a bit of a bummer but we finished in 4:39 so decent pace. Great day.
Great deal but no off-course amenities
Great value for 18 with a cart at Riverbend on an open (but cold and wet) Sunday. Only a few other groups playing so great pace of play. Sounds like they recently closed the restaurant/bar however so that was a major downside as we were hoping to get some beers and food at the turn. Then again, maybe that helped my round!
Great winter course
Go play! Reasonable rates! Good greens. Good conditions for the season. Winter is wet....so is the course.....but better shape than other courses in the area.
Always a fun course to play.
Riverbend has been always a fun course to play a round on a weekend. Tend to be very busy but end of the day it is a well maintained course to play with friends.
Greens area well maintained, fairway conditions are fine.
The Bar & restaurant at the course has been closed for a few months now. Hopefully they open up soon. Do miss having some hot food options and a glass of beer after the round.
Good course for the value
I like this course. No restaurant, no cart girl all year. Pace of play was ok. 4 hours 15 minutes. Staff is friendly.
Riverbend
Busy muni in Kent. Easily walkable. Still no bar/restaurant so you must bring your own hydration/beer. Good middle of the road course
Terry
Course was in real good shape,greens were just punched so they were pretty bumpy,hence the low fee. I love this course and will continue to play there. The pace needs to be looked at a bit,but other than that..great track.
River Bend
Course was in NICE shape and layout was pretty nice. Had an enjoyable round the TWO times I played here while working in the area. ONLY issue was EXTREMELY SLOW pace of play. Takes over 5 hours to get a round in.
Great Municipal course
One of the best course around town. Great for all levels.
Nothing special muni-type track
Very average course. Pro shop staff not very helpful/welcoming. Driving range across busy road.....blew it off.
Decent course
The course is fine but the people that play it don't seem to know what pace of play is. 10 minute waits on tees and fairways.
Great layout though with some challenging holes
