Good times
We had an amazing time and experience. The course is challenging and the price was great.
Great 9 hole course
My buddy and I played on a balmy day in December, which is an extreme rarity in Chicago, so naturally the course was packed. So despite teeing off 15 minutes late, the pace of play was great. NO waiting on any of the holes. This is a course that I have played many times, so I know it well. It is my favorite 9 hole course in the Chicago area. It has a great layout, with a variety of holes. Compact layout - easily walkable. Highly recommended.
50 degrees and sunny in Chicago on December 9 what's not to love. First time here but def not last time. I'm sure it's a beautiful 9 in the summer!
Cold, Windy & Challenging
We've played this course several times this year. This was our final outing of the year and the weather was cold & windy making it a challenging day. Like the length and layout of the course. Due to year-end conditions, the course was less than desirable. I plan to play here more often.

Slow pace of play
Fun and challenging 9holes. But 8 minutes between tee times is not nearly enough. Waiting every hole. 3 hours for 9 holes is not good.

River Bend Review
TeeOff time was 11:04am, course said our tee time was 11:20am. This is the second time this year TeeOff provided incorrect time on booking. Course very crowded, took nearly 3 hrs to play 9 holes. Some greens has burn marks from lack of water or too much water. Greens aeriated, but no sand to fill the holes, very bumpy greens. Nice layout and normally pretty quick greens.
River Bend Review
Booked 11:04 tee time with TeeOff. Course said our time was 11:20. Not first time this year tee times were changed without knowing. Get your act together. Very crowded day, took nearly 3 hrs to play 9 holes. Course recently areated greens with no sand filler, ruff putting day. Several greens with burnout areas, front to much watering or lack of watering. Good layout course, normally in better shape.

Fine nine
Nice layout with enough long yardage holes to satisfy. Can play slow when too many beginners are up ahead.

Nice course, slow play
I've played this course several times, its challenging! The only issue is the pace of play. Typically this course has 8 minute interval tee times. Compared with other courses that do 10 or 11 minute intervals. The shorter times cause late starts and bunched players because of the wide range of abilities playing. The other couses I play have longer intervals, which makes for a much more relaxed round. Here, I feel rushed .
Great course
The staff was great, the course was awesome, a great deal pricewise. Very disappointed that the bar and restaurant we’re closed

Poor Management
Although this is a good course to golf, the staff ate NOT friendly, there are long long wait times, and STAFF NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE. Tried calling twenty times to cancel and always busy. Physically had to go into cancel.
If you can tolerate all the above, enjoy your golf!!!!

Slow pace. No rangers.
This is a nice little course. Got some basic holes and some real challenging ones. I just wish it was run better. Starter let off 4 twosomes in a row. And when we got on the course, it was long waits with no end in sight. No ranger to push play. We left at the 7th hole at over 2 hours already.
