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.

Round on Saturday, September 26
Seems like they were way over booked. There was a line of 4 groups just at one hole. Took me over 3 hours to play a round of 9. Staff wasn't very friendly at all. They were a lot nicer last year. I don't know what happened, but this course got worse. Seems like they are letting people go even if they are fully booked. Seems like all they want is the money. To me, living in lisle, prices are way to high. Course is extremely close together. You have the risk of getting hit on every whole. Doesn't matter where you are.

Sporty little track
Greens roll true, really nice speed....1st time ever playing- won’t be the last...highly recommended...great 9 hole layout, excellent service in the pro shop and at the beverage cart!
I only got to play 8 holes in two hours and twenty minutes. Some of the tee boxes were in terrible condition. No racks were in the traps. OK, but they hadn’t been racked in days.

Nice 9
Have played here twice now and no complaints. Longer than some of the other nine hole favorites like Flagg and Sugar Creek. Will keep on rotation.
Actual course is great, pace & staff not so much
Played with a friend who is a decently good golfer like myself, & it took us almost 3 hours to play 6.5 holes because of the pace. For comparison, we played 9 holes at the Downers Grove golf course 2 days before in about 1.5 hours. I love the course, and the conditions were pretty good. The issue was having to wait on the group(s) in front of us on every single hole (and the group behind us continuing to drive very near us while we were on the fairway waiting for the group on the green). It caused some anxiety which is the opposite of what golf is meant to produce. Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the staff. The guy at the pro shop was great, told us they were backed up on tee times so we went to my friend’s car to get some water after checking in. The guy giving us our cart told us we were “late” when we came down to the 1st tee literally the exact minute our tee time was (2 groups in front of us sitting at hole 1 waiting to tee off). I thought he was joking so I let out a chuckle, he wasn’t joking at all & looked at me with a straight face. Then, as we tried to squeeze in one more hole, the Marshall told us we needed to leave immediately after he passed 3 different groups trying to finish hole 8 and 9. I watched him drive right past them mentioning nothing to them as I tried to find my drive in the fairway. He mentioned in 3 different ways that we need to get off the course (heard you the first time bud), and when I told him I would just find my ball on the fairway & leave he said in a condescending tone “you’re not going to find your ball anyway”. Found it in the middle of the fairway thank you very much. In conclusion, it’s a nice course & well kept. I’ve enjoyed their patio, food and drink, and course. The very slow pace and attitudes of the staff were questionable.
Just about exactly the same way I was treated

Good 9 hole golf course, pace of play terrible, very bad, over 3 hours to play nine holes, no on course management by staff. Hard pressed to play again, won't recommend to friends.

Thank you for playing River Bend Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Pace of play
It was terrible. We skipped a hole and played 8 holes in 2:30 hours. 8 minutes apart tee times is not enough. Waited 5-8 minutes at every tee.

Tight Course
River Bend is a nice course if you want to go play 9 holes. The course was in good shape. The issue is the course is very tight and, a bad shot means you might be hitting off of another fairway. As a result, the pace of play is slow. It took almost 3 hours to play 9 holes and it wasn't because of our scores.
