Riverbend Golf Complex

Greens were firm, rolled true and firm. Good overall pace at this tee time.
Good value for round of golf which included a cart.
I'll be back again this year.

The greens were terrific. Fairways average . Sand in traps great and well maintained

Our experience at this course was a mixed bag. The good part was the conditions on the course were great. Fairways and greens were really nice. The layout of the course was moderate difficulty with water and sand coming into play on several holes. Now the not so good part. When we arrived a noticed a commotion on the 10th fairway. A family had wandered onto the course from a nearby walking path and were yelling back at the golfers trying to wave them out of the fairway. The family wouldnt budge and starting throwing balls back at the tee box. Finally someone from the clubhouse jumped in a cart and got them out of the way. that might not have been that big of deal until it happened again on the 9th fairway. Only this time it was a couple of shirtless guys from the hotel laying in the middle of the fairway. And again they wouldnt budge when golfers tried to wave them off. we ended up teeing off over the top of them. The last 2 complaints...2 walking 5-somes in front of us making for a 5 hour round and the restaurant closes at 8PM on Sunday. So no food after a grueling 5 hour trudge. Probably will find somwhere else to golf in the future.

Had a pleasant time there. Beer was good. Course was in good condition.

It helps to write a great review when you make 9 1 putts !!!! The GREENS were in the best shape I have ever seen them. I was draining putts from 30 plus feet ! :) A most memorable trip to Riverbend. The weather started out a bit cloudy, but burned off soon and turned into a fantastic day. The fairways were dry and fast - go figure. And the GREENS, Im guessing they hired a new greens keeper , because Ive never seen them this fast- it was fun and true. Book a tee time soon - fun times if you like the greens fast.

Aside from the small pro shop with no one around to check me in when I arrived, this course was fun and fairly straightforward. The course seems to be well maintained with only a few muddy puddles along the way which can happen on our northwest courses in the spring. Will definitely be back to play again!

Just happened to be behind a really slow foursome...in carts for goddsake. They were even driving on the par 3s!

I like the early tee times. Great for morning workout before work.

Nice Golf Complex - personnel are very nice and the rates are moderate.

Course has great potential. Pace of play was terrible. Driving range is across the street have to dodge cars to warm up. Lost 6 balls just in the rough areas right next to the fairways. Well in play but dissapeared. Cant stand it when players have to join your group. Great course conditions though but needs a huge makeover.

The weather warm low 70's, clear, and breezy. And though there was casual water in some traps and fairway edges the greens and fairways remained surprisingly firm. Also, it was very crowded for a Monday. We had to wait on almost every shot - not my favorite thing.

Rain made it a great day to golf at a easy fast pace.

After a lot of rain the corse was in pretty good shape. There where two sand traps with some water it the green were fine.

Found a great tee time rate on GNow and figured even if we got rained out after 6 holes, we were doing fine. A lot of rain had fallen in the past few days, yet the fairways were in great shape. Only a few wet spots on a few fairways. Many of the bunkers had standing water though.
The greens are in great shape. Rolling smooth and quick.

Very good spring golf conditions. Good fairways. Excellent roll on greens. Would play the course again. We rode, but its very walkable. Target pace is 4.5 hours, which we beat.

Firm fairways. Getting roll with tee balls. Greens were faster than other courses I played this year. I was impressed. Now if they would roll the greens regularly Riverbend would great course.

Nice course that is well maintained and has a decent pace of play. Some great views of the mountain (Mt. Rainier?) on some holes. Even though I didn't play great, I thoroughly enjoyed this course and will definitely be playing it again.

As a golfer that moved up to the Seattle area from Southern California last year, I am not used to having to hibernate the clubs during the winter, so this was the first time I was able to get out on to the course in six months.

Riverbend is always a pleasure to play: flat - open - great views of Mt. Rainier and a huge Eagles nest w/mating pair off of 6. That said - it's been wet recently and the rough was really rough. Balls got swallowed up if you got out of the fairway. Pace of play was great. Only a couple holes did we have to wait for the group in front of us. It played this way for all. Definitely a fun round.

It was exciting playing with standing water on the greens on most of the holes. Gave it a fun challenge. But all in all fun course to play and maintained beautifully

Beautiful day for golf. I haven't played this course since 1999. Nice average condition but greens were not great! Some were like putting on a waffle. could be time of year. It would be nice if players would rake the traps when you are done. Respect the game even if your not playing Newcastle! This could be such a beautiful course.
