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
Lots of ball marks not fixed on greens. Lots of divots not replace on Fairways. Would be nice if you found an operator for the restaurant.

Great condition but slow pace of play
Hit a small bucket at the range before my round at 12:30. Course was backed up from the first tee and took 2&1/2 hours to finish the front nine. We had to skip two holes on the back because they were closing the gate across the river.
Overall good experience but the slow pace and early close of the gate left me feeling like I didn’t get full value for my green fee.
The restaurant was closed :-/

Fun to play
Really fun course to play,and one of the few courses in the area with all types of warm up/practice areas and a driving range. Fairways in good condition with lower cut rough around greens. Played on Oct 3, most greens were puttable, but definitely not yet rolling “true”, due to a recent fall aeration, they should be better in another week or so.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Riverbend Golf Complex.
Good day for Sept golf
I found this tee time last minute and was paired with 3 other singles. The course was in decent conditions with the tee boxes pretty well used, the green very slow and bumpy as they were recently punched/sanded, and some puddles on the course. The pace of play was excellent as we finished in 3:25, despite waiting for 5 min to tee off on the par-3 13th.

Aerification alert
The greens and most recently, the tees have been aerified so keep that in mind if that bothers you. We always play automatic 2-putt on aerified greens. Otherwise the course is in good shape although the day I played, the pace was slow- 4 hours 15 minutes. All in all, good value for the money.

Excellent pace of play
Good course to play in terms of condition, layout, pace of play and amenities. The only complaint is in condition of the tees which need serious renovation.
