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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

The greens are top notch and the fairways are filling in nicely.

Always fun to play. Might avoid Friday mornings as a large senior group plays there every week.

What is your 60 bucks worth…

Let me tell you,

This was around 40 bucks last year to play which is pretty fair considering the standard of the course. The bunkers are unplayable because there is no sand. The greens are always in great shape but the fairways leave something to be desired. The average price of a round in 2024 was around 43 dollars so they were below the average as you would expect, but this course is failing due to the unfriendly staff, lack of care for the paying customers and the lack of care of the course overall. It is now around 60 dollars to pay this course and if you play this course just know they are increasing the prices in order to make up for their shortcomings with course care and lack of staff. I understand it’s a business but 60 dollars is pretty steep considering places like Wedgwood, timber truss, and Cherokee are charging less with nicer courses. I only come play here when the prices drop because the layout is friendly.
