RiverEdge Golf Club sprawls across a stunning natural landscape of rolling hills covered with mature trees and abundant in wildlife. Although it is just off the highway in Kitchener, it provides a scenic respite from the city. In the summer the golf course is speckled with vibrant colors due to the several kinds of flowers that bloom across the terrain. The natural wetlands were incorporated into the layout, coming into play often. This nine-hole course boasts all of the challenges of a full-length course, but only requires half the time. Golfers can finish a round in less than three hours. RiverEdge Golf Club is an excellent place for honing your short game skills but also perfect for a quick, casual game.

Very nice Palmer layout.

Super golf course. Lots of trouble to get into. Lots of sand, marshes, blind shots. Greens were fast and true. Rained the night before, cart path only, yet drainage was good. Do yourself a favor and splurge for a yardage book. As several blind shots can make a very tough time, when not necessary.

River Edge Kitchener

Absolutely beautiful course, was a Saturday afternoon so it was full and a tournament happened to be going on, this probably contributed to the slow play. Only disappointment is it's only 9 holes. You can always go around twice which I do when I can.

Great little course

This is a fun and challenging 9 hole course in great condition.

A bald eagle nest on the second hole is an extra treat to see.

Beautiful 9 Hole Track

This 9 hole course is nestled in a small valley adjacent to the Grand River in Kitchener, ON. Although I took a cart on my most recent visit, the layout is very walk-able and in fact most of the regulars were walking that day. The course is fairly short, scenic, and has enough trouble lurking to keep your attention (which is tough when watching the two resident bald eagles swoop down the second fairway). The course was in top shape that day with meticulously manicured tees and greens. The fairways were excellent and the bunkers were much better than average. The pace of play was 1.5 hours for our first 9 with no-one in front of us. The second 9 was quite a bit slower as we caught up to a slow moving league and waited on every shot. So pick your tee time carefully and consider walking instead of taking a cart. I was told weekdays between 11-2 are generally a great time to play.

Staff not presentable or friendly

Staff members on the course were not very friendly and wearing jeans, not appropriate for the golf course. Golf cart ran out of gas on the second hole and because it's a golfnorth property and it wasn after 5:00 pm we could not be connected with the clubhouse.

Another facility that is going down hill after being acquired by golfnorth .
