Perfect Greens but below average staff.

I have been coming to play here for years now at least once a week. It is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Greens are actually perfect with average fairways and no sand in bunkers . I’ve written one review before about the staff, but they have fired that horrible women that worked in there go figure right?. Someone else has been hired in the kitchen and pro shop. The ladies in the kitchen were super friendly but the old man working the counter has to be the rudest human I’ve ever encountered on a golf course. He put the clock on us after 9 holes and we had only been playing for 2 hours. That is literally perfect pace. We even let two groups play through and still hit that pace. We were a foursome btw. Chris if you are reading this please just treat people well and people will come back you have a great golf course. Paying customers deserve respect when they respect your golf course you will drive away all business if you keep hiring people who treat people like this. Most golf courses try their best to not hassle people if they don’t have to but the guys working in the pro shop go out of their way to be rude for no reason I just don’t get it. Long story short if you have can handle the rudeness of the staff this golf course is a literal hidden gem. Best golf course in the area hands down. If the staff was friendly there would be no tee times left on a daily basis.

I love the layout of this course. The staff is always friendly.

The grass in the fairways is a little tight. Hopefully the warmer nights will help in that regard.

Great course!

Don’t let the drive deter you from playing here! It’s well worth it. It’s an easy drive and very quiet and serene. I played in March so it hadn’t grown in fully yet but it was still great and in awesome shape. The greens are the best I’ve played in the area. Fast and smooth. Go play this Scottish links course!

Beautiful greens and ever better course

From the moment you arrive, River Bend Links impresses with its tranquil setting — a welcome escape from the buzz of nearby attractions. The layout is clean and inviting, and the course is maintained with pride and care.

Highlights:

• The fairways and greens are in wonderful shape. The grass is healthy, the surfaces smooth, and the greens roll true, making putting a pleasure.

• Water features are incorporated cleverly — they come into play on many holes without feeling unfair, adding both strategy and visual appeal.

• Though it’s fairly flat overall, the course rewards precision more than brute power. Staying in the fairway pays off, and your iron game is often put to the test.

• There’s a nice balance in hole design: some require thoughtful shot placement, others invite a more aggressive line if you’re feeling confident.

• The staff and service add to the experience: friendly, helpful, and eager to make your round enjoyable.

• The peaceful ambiance is a big plus. Despite being near more bustling areas, River Bend feels like its own quiet retreat.

If you want a course that’s challenging yet fair, scenic but not over-the-top, and one where every round feels rewarding — River Bend Links delivers. I’d absolutely recommend it to any golfer in the area.
