Slow pace

Park district course with a wide variety of player skill level. 8 minutes tee time spread, they should make it 10 minutes. On this of play it was painfully slow, just over 2 1/2 hours.

JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Fun and challenging 9 holes. Kind of a hidden gem. Tees, fairways, traps all in good shape. Some long par 4 holes. Suggest playing the white tees unless you are really good.

River Bend

1. Late start.

2. Starter acts like you owe him money (second time in a row).

3. Backed up course. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes.

Love River Bend!

I only lost one ball today, so it was a successful outing! Great 9 hole course, which is challenging. Love it.
