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.

Course needs TLC

The bunkers have no sand, grass has grown up in them. Some of the greens are in bad shape along with a few of the fairways. We only paid $32 for 18 holes so wasn’t too bad. It wasn’t crowded and played in 3 1/2 hours.

Terrible Conditions

Very Disappointed. Sand traps have been covered over with grass. Weeds and bare spots in fairway. Tee boxes (White) are barren of grass. Many greens are in bad shape. This is NOT a $60 golf course. If you are not going to do any maintenance, then charge accordingly. This is a $30-$35 course on a good day.

Scottish Links style in Mississippi

If you are fan of Scottish links then you should definitely play River Bend Links. I played late November when all the grass is turning for the winter giving it a look of Scotland to the eye. Greens are a dark green that are covered with tarps during the night to keep them rolling smooth. They were rolling great fast and smooth. Definitely enjoyed the day there. Will definitely play here again when in the area.
