Forget about COVID-19 for a while, play a round of golf at River Bend!!

Excellent round of golf at River Bend Golf course. It was a bit windy and cold starting at 9:15 a.m. As my friend and I played the course, we warmed up and had a great time. We've played this course a few times last fall and found it challenging. We both felt challenged today, yet this course is fulfiilling in our quest to better our respective golf games. Staff was helpful in answering our questions re: wearing masks; carrying bags, etc. The holes were filled w/foam, so no contact with the golf hole after putting. Noticed that most of the golfers were abiding by 'social distancing' rules and plenty of notices posted throughout the golf course.

Riverbend refresher

I've been an avid Riverbend player for awhile now and the course is definitely a nice little challenge for a 9 hole course. With beautiful conditions, and the hilly open format the course definitely provides a nice high end feel. The hilly landscape,and layout, creates some excellent fairway challenges, and the foresty nature of Lisle as a city allows for some challenges in terms of natural hazards. It's always amazing how well I play elsewhere after a few rounds here. Riverbend is a nice quick challenge that can really force a golfer to learn a bit while playing a great course.
