One of my favorites

This course isn't the longest but it's probably the best 9 hole course I've played. It's easy to get on, affordable (especially for residents) and well kept. I play here 3-4 times a year and reccomend it. The restaurant is good after a round, as well, with an amazing sunset view. Actually, a better view than just about any other local restaurant I can think of.

In good shape

River Bend is in great condition, and the greens are excellent right now. Pace of play was not speedy, but not distractingly slow

Short tree lined walk.

Not a long course. Challenges throughout. Easy greens.

$9 Hot Deal was very worth it.

Only 9, but...

It's a nine that is well thought out with two par 3s, two par 5s and interesting, well maintained greens.

Brutal

This was one of the worst places I have played in awhile. They always always overbook and you are constantly waiting. This place is a joke they need to figure it out ASAP. So much potential and such a let down.

My new favorite 9 hole course

Good length from back tees but 3 other tees plus another set at start of fairway which would be great for kids. Plenty of natural areas and water to think about but not impossible to get around. Great condition considering rains lately. Friendly pro shop and ranger. Unfriendly starter but 2 of 3 isn’t bad. Looks like nice restaurant but couldn’t stay.

3 hours 3 minutes of Pure Enjoyment

Overall 5 stars—occasionally you get some older golfers and it can get backed up, but why do you care? You should be focused on enjoying yourself like I did.

Challenging or not: a variety of tees to hit from—4,5 maybe?; I played the blues today with a couple who played the reds and really no problems.

Not sure where they get the employees, but they are all just great!
