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.
Love it
I love this course I have been here for months and months and I like this. The greenkeeper Carlos he and his workers are motivated.
Fun course with exceptional greens that are in perfect shape and running very fast.
This course is great value for the area. The greens are perfect and the fairway grass is great this year.
River Bend
The course is in great shape!!!! The greens are perfect and fast.
The fairways are great as well.
It is extremely hot right now so having some water coolers on the course would be nice.
But overall, the course is a 4.5 out of 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RV and Golf
We were staying at Hollywood Casino and the course was behind us so decided to play despite it being so hot. Totally enjoyed the course. Great condition and we played in 3 hours. Would play again next time.
Exceptional course and Pro
Fairways, greens, pace of play, and everything was absolutely amazing. Definitely will be back whenever in the area again.
Practice Round
Enjoyed the round, course and the amenities with friendly staff. Overall good experience!
STAFF IS AWFUL AND RUDE
Before I start, I’ve played this course at least 50+ times and I have dealt with the same rude people in this pro shop for years. Chris is the only one with any sense and is super friendly. The other two (Hunter and a woman whose name I do not know) are the literal worst customer service people I have ever encountered. We spent the whole day riding the cart path and never got off until number 18 and it was literally to ride on top of hill so I could see my ball across the fairway. Hunter was standing at the clubhouse and yelled down at us at the green that it was cart path only while we were still putting. Needless to say we went back in there and said we were never coming back and they told us good riddance. Play tunica national and stay away from this place
No sand
They are letting the bunkers grow grass. I'm assuming because of lack of help to tasks care of them. The greens had just been aerated and were in great shape! Rolling great! Moping on the course for a 10am tee time.
