Nice Course

Friends came in from the Carolina’s and wanted to play. The day was windy but a foursome with friends is enjoyable as long as it doesn’t rain. The course was in great shape, but the bridges on the course need repair.

Afternoon tee times in winter

This course is in great shape at this time of year! The problem is signing up unaware people for 18 holes when there is no chance of finishing the round. They have tournaments that run over time as was the case two weekends ago, confusion on the course this past weekend due to some other tourney causing delays, and an array of golfers that don't even recognize pace of play. Playing on a weekend is a fool's game.

A Venue for Fun on the Links at a Fair Price

I have played River Bend many times over the last sixteen years. It is a good layout, well maintained by the greens-keeper, all offered at a fair price. The most outstanding feature of this venue is the staff; all are very friendly and work to satisfy their customers. If I had to single out one complaint it would be the need for a course ranger to maintain an acceptable pace of play. The slowest group on the course sets the pace for all behind them; so some groups need to be asked to play faster or skip a hole.

Nice course

Course layout is excellent, but pace of play and cart paths are terrible. There is no fast cart riding and very bumpy. Greens were OK, but played really slow today. I like this course but know it will be busy and a bumpy ride.

Golfers R Great

I played as a single, teed of at 10:10. 2 threesomes and 3 foursomes waved me through. Joined 2 young guys for the last 6. Finished in 4 hrs! Awesome people and great day! Course could use a little TLC, but some really nice holes

A challenging course

Fairly tight course. Good condition except for sand traps w River morning d, not sand. Course should not go cheap on this crap. Difficult to take, let alone be able to hit a controlled bunker shot. Members we played with said it was a continuing problem. Greens were also very slow. But staff friendly, and grill room excellent
