Nice course that can be as easy or as hard as you like...just pick the correct Tee Box. There are no sand bunkers as it looks like they are converting them all to grass bunkers.

The greens are firm and fast. The fairways are well kept. This links style course is a hidden gem Photo is the club house from the campground next door

disappointed

Played this course a couple of years ago and liked it. Unfortunately it, as the resorts around it, have really gone down hill. It is still OK but used to be a lot better.

Links style golf in the South

This course was a lot of fun. The greens and fairways were in good shape, however the bunkers have not been maintained. I can understand that, given the times as some of the casinos around are no longer operating. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is definitely worth the drive with your buddies to check it out.

River Bend Links

I played there 9-3-2020 and loved the layout of this course. Tight fairways and high ruff. Need to hit driver straight in fairway to score well. Greens were good but a little slow to me. I differently will be back to play this hidden gem.

Really Nice

Had a good time and the only thing I didn’t like was that 2 sets of 4 guys would not let us thru and played very slow but the rest was good.

Nice fairways

I’ve been playing this course since it’s been built. I really enjoy the layout and the rural surrounding. The fairways are generous and open. Plenty of water hazards and sand less bunkers. Greens are big and receptive. It floods a lot due it’s location. If you like links golf I suggest you give this course a shot.
