River bend golf

We have played several times this year and the course is in decent shape but several greens are not in good shape and it’s only May. They offer GOLFPASS perks but good luck getting them without being told the offers shouldn’t be on the site. We were told that in February and it’s now May and the offers are still there. The starter was pushing out groups to close together causing backups at every hole. The course layout is challenging so we do go back occasionally just for that reason.

Better than expected

On vacation in Ormond I brought my clubs hoping to get out. I did and this course was only 4 miles from my hotel. When i called Ron was extremely kind and the service i experienced on the phone continued to the cart guys, clubhouse and restaurant. I always bring my caddie ( wife ) and she had an awesome time driving with me. Normally courses are covered with construction. THIS COURSE WAS BEAUTIFUL! Trees. wooden bridges, wildlife... it made the round very relaxing. The only issue I had was a couple of members were quite rude.... But the course itself and people that work there where AMAZING! Definitively recommend !!! We will be back!

The Course is improving!

Course overall is not bad, considering lack of staff at the facility. I played 3 weeks in a row & the pins weren't changed.

Nice course

Rangers were rude, but clubhouse Staff and starter were very nice. Pace of play was really good, but was rushed even further even though players all agreed there were several golfers in front and back so no reason to rush, course was nice and challenging but greens were in terrible shape. $40 a little high considering corse and condition though, but I’d play again if there is a good hot deal.

Golf Pass Perks Issue

Hi. Overall great experience. But, I was told by staff that the management is to no longer honor the golf pass perks promotion of a free bucket of balls and 20% off at the pro shop. The staff did honor the promotion but said that they would not in the future. Please remove the promotion from the advertised t-times.

Good round

River Bend is in good condition, greens putted well. Weather was really nice. The staff was very friendly and certainly made it easy to practice social distancing. All golfers were on their own cart. Staff loaded your bag for you. Pace of play was good we finished in just under 4 hours

well kept, challenging course.

I've played here about 6 times now. All the employees were great and personable. I've booked as a single but was paired with great friendly people. Now I play with groups I've met, depending what day I play.
