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.

The golf outing. Photo submitted by mastergolfer12 on 09/26/2012
Great pace, great conditions
This course was in excellent shape, never got held up while playing.
conditions
the course was soft and Unmowed because of recent rains. the greens were really bumpy lots of footprints.
Awesome DEAL!
Great value with Golf Now. Staff was nice and pace of play was good. Greens a little dumpy, back ok for this time of year. Will return again!
Cheers!
Terrible
Pace of play was terrible.. No marshals .. Fairways is all dirt... Greens are super bumpy..
good value
Wet good value 3and half hours for18 holes greens are good condition will go again
Good enough to the price
Easy to play. But, small green and the pace of time is terrible.
But, the staff is very kind and helpful.
Nice place to play
The course was in great shape considering the amount of rain we've had this past month. One of the really nice features of Riverbend are the practice facilities - driving range; putting greens and sand-trap/pitching area - that are available.
Don't play here in the winter
I played here in the summer before and condition was OK. However, this time of the year, it is extremely muddy and can barely play. Many times we lost balls that has been driven right down the center on the fairway, or in light rough. It became very frustrating and we quit before finishing the round.
Nice little golf course!
Went on a very wet day, following a couple days of wet weather! Very messy, carts on path only. With that said, very nice little course. Staff was friendly!
Reasonably Good Maintenance this time of the year
The crew had raked a lot of falling leaves so it wasn't to hard to find the balls. The greens are in pretty good shape. Considering Seattle has been raining quite a bit lately, there weren't too much standing water. Good value!
Rainy weather Riverbend
Trying to fit in a last round before the season shuts out. Following several days of rainy weather, caught a 4 hr break and played as a single mid-day. Yes there was some muddy spots and standing water, but less than I thought there would be. With lift and clean, seemed ok if slightly dark and lonely.
Always Economical
Everything about this course is usually pretty good including the price That's probably why sometimes the pace of play might be a little slow because it's such a great course it attracts a lot of golfers.
good
Everything good
Any time i want plying this course.
Damp
Decent shape , greens soft . Excessive leaves on fairways made finding ball tough at times. Pace of player a little slow, even with carts! Great viewing of Bald Eagles!
great deal
course in good shape...need to get the marshal to keep play at a reasonable pace
Nice Track;Slow play
I always liked this layout;although very flat.Am disappointed with the long weekend rounds here.I read of poor green maintenance;but its the players that cause the greens problems.This is the worst I've seen in over 50 years for ball marks being repaired.I think I easily repaired 50 marks;many right by the hole;people just walk right on by.I fixed 8 where I was standing on a 3 par.Everybody just repair 2 per hole;we will be fine.Probably won't play here on weekends.
Good
Staff friendliness.
And value for the money is excellent!!!
Good hard greens
The greens at River Bend is in excellent shape, smooth, hard and fast. You have to plan to land the ball short otherwise it would run long
Swing Away
Wide open fairways. Expect slummers in jeans and tank tops.
