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
Fastest round ever!
I went solo and was first on. I didn’t play well the first half but still was able to finish in about 2 hrs and got to work early.
Fast round as usual.
I love playing before work, instead of going to the gym. It's about 6.5 miles if I play well, but I got about 7+ that day playing left to right golf.

Good day at Kent Riverbend
I decided the night before that I wanted to get out for some golf and found an early morning tee time (6:30am) at Riverbend. The course was in good shape, with only a couple of really wet areas, but they are working on the #7 green with a large area of the grass recently being replaced. I was paired with another single and we ended up skipping the par-3 5th as we were waiting on the foursome in front of us. Smooth sailing after that and we finished in 3.5 hrs. Great day on the course as the weather was fantastic.
Pace of play nightmare…
5.5 hour round guaranteed… there was a ranger out there. Not sure what they were doing other than hide in the shade for hours and ultimately drive into a fairway while my ball was in the air nearly striking his cart. I now remember why I haven’t played here in 7+ years. Same old same old

Great layout
Disappointed with the starter and how they send out groups. My tee time was at 7:48 AM. I checked in early, around 7:15. No one was sent out until 7:40. Don’t know why I couldn’t go out early. Almost half an hour wait.

Supper slow play and no marshal
The front nine took almost two hours which would have been okay accept there was a backup two deep on the back.
It’s bring-your-own or go thirsty - The course restaurant closed over the winter and there was no drink cart on the course.
The greens and fairways were in good shape and the price is below average so I understand the popularity. Would help if there was someone keeping the bloggers from stalling play so they can get the perfect selfie :-(

Flat Track
This is a fun course with quite a few water hazards. The greens are in grood shape with the exception of #7 which has a large portion of the middle currently under repair.

Cart girl needed
I love this course, but in the heat a cart girl serving cold refreshments would be great.
