Nice layout
The course has a nice layout. Greens were very slow and so was pace of play. The foursome in front of us mentioned that the course constantly over booked. Pretty good value for your money if you’re not in a hurry.
Great
Friendly staff, great course and in great shape.
The greens are challenging. Highly recommend!

The course is in very good shape. The greens have come back and putting is very good. The only complaint is the time to play a round. We had 3 players and the round took 4.75 hrs. I don't understand why there are no rangers to push slow players?

Great course in good condition
Played Riverbend Golf Course with several friends and was grouped with a first time player from Indiana. Due to the time of year it was a little slow but as usual we all had a great time . This is one of my favorite courses and I would highly recommend it.

slow play no ranger
Held up on every hole. Discussing. Nice part is the attendant at the club house gave us a rain check for nine holes. Very nice individual that didn't have an answer because there wasn't a ranger out. Felt sorry got the guy. Good employees

Not bad at all
Had a great time with my teenage sons playing this course. We went back in August came to play again and will return next time we’re in town. My youngest son left his Air buds and they found them for him. Great staff, great place!

Help the cart paths
Hadn’t played here in about 5 years. The course itself is in great shape being the middle of November. Love the tight lies in the fairways and around the greens. Where there are cart paths, they’re nice. But when the cart paths end, where everyone drives, they are terrible. So rough from everyone driving over them and exposing the tree roots, they kind of jar your ribs. The bridge across the road is terribly rough also. They need to repair that also. Other than that, I’ve always liked playing there. The restaurant and bar is also very good.
Hello, GregStephensIL. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
River Bend
The course layout is good, and there is a good blend of longer and shorter holes. Each hole is unique from the rest. The course condition is all right, but not noteworthy because of the various patches of St. Augustine grass that have infiltrated. The greens were bumpy and way too slow. Pace of play was affected because of the number of twosomes playing back-to-back; our twosome felt to be unnecessarily rushed despite that we were usually waiting on the twosome in front of us. Overall, however, I liked the course and would play there again.

Average
The starter said that the course was in fantastic shape - it was not. Tis is the second time I have played a course in Florida and the condition was worse than the other one that I played. There seemed to be a lot of dead spots on the greens. The fairways were patchy. The ranger I saw once and he did not even stop to talk to anyone. I played a s a single and the group of ladies in front of me did not let me through until the 10 th hole where I played the first three holes of the back nine and then anther group of four ladies did let me through. There were a few interesting holes. The course was not well marked as far as direction to the next hole. Yardage markers could have been better marked. I was happy to get a chance to play the course though. I would play it again.

Good Layout
This is a different Florida course. Trees on both sides of the fairways. The only complaint is the greens were very slow and not true roll.

Great course for price
Was in Daytona for only one day and this course popped up on my golf now app. I have a 9 handicap, played the blues (about 6300 yds) and shot that on this course. Cart paths were rough but course was in great condition. A tighter course with demanding shots off the tee but it was nice to use various clubs off the tee.

Dusty's Take
Very enjoyable course to play. I asked one of the staff members for tips on how to play the course, his reply was keep it in the fairway. Best advise for sure;
Luckily the starter moved me up with a twosome who played there often, or I may still be looking for a way out . It definitely is not a course meant to walk, between the quicksand and the gators. I jest only a little.
A distraction for some might be the flight classes doing touch and go, but didn't bother me. I will be playing there again for sure.

I heard some banjos
Cool course. Od school, tight and tough. Pick your tee color accordingly. The course is great, hidden down in the river valley, altho you never see the water. The staff was great and helpful,. Its a muni course, close to the local airport and easy to get to off I95 or Hwy 1.
The cart paths are mostly sand which is fine, but I wouldn't try to walk this one. You'd be calling a cab. The cart ride back at the turn felt like a mile, seriously was worried I was lost. Im gonna try this one again, becuz its the kind of course that makes you want another whack at it.

Fun course
Enjoyed playing the course, played by my self, no one in front of me or behind me, so took my time and enjoyed it. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Bit of a narrow course so if your not on your game spraying the ball I could see that it could cause some havoc. Loved the way the cart paths are surrounded with the Florida jungle. The bridges.......travelling the bridges and some of the cart paths will shake you around. But a couple of them we’re like being on a Disney ride at the golf course. Wouldn’t hesitate going back for another round
