Weekend pace of play is too slow. You need to add another ranger to identify slow groups and push them. More than 2.5 hours is too slow. Especially since I tees off before 9:00 am.

River Bend

This is an exceptional, nine hole public golf course. I play here often, and it is pretty challenging, It’s also a great value. I would highly recommend this course.

Tougher than it looks

Outside of horrible pace of play (2.5 hrs) the course is worth the visit. Just don’t come mid-day Saturday.

Rude desk manager

To start with the course is overpriced for a 9 hole course compared with other courses in the area. There was no starter or ranger and the desk manager was rude. He assigned me a cart number and failed to provide a key. I had to go back to the clubhouse. He responded "of course the carts won't work without a key" and provided.no apology. I teed off by myself and was on the first green. The same desk manager got into a cart and chased me down and said I will have to wait for the next group since I'm not allowed to go out by myself. He paired me with 2 walkers again with no apology.

Aerifcation

We were not aware when we purchased our rounds that the entire course was being aerated. We had to skip holes and could not even putt due to workbeing done while we were there.
