River Bend Golf Course

This is by far the slowest paced course in Illinois. Possibly America. I am not really sure what the ranger's job is on this course. It certainly is not to tell people to speed up or let a group or two to play through. I have played 18 holes on other courses in the same amount of time. If you don't mind making a picnic out of the day on a golf course or being behind groups of people who have never been on a course before and are just learning how to play the game, then have at it. I like the course but I can't stand literally sitting around between holes.

I’ve played this course a few times and have been very satisfied each time. The course is beautiful and challenging, and the staff has always been very friendly. It’s very reasonably priced for a course that is so well-maintained. I’m a semi regular golfer and would recommend this course to golfers at any skill level. I definitely look forward to my next round!

The Ranger did not do his job. There was a foursome in front of us that was playing very slow. The ranger would come watch the pace and did not do anything

Good, tough course. Slowest course in Illiniois!!

3+ hours for 9 Holes. ALWAYS. EVERY TIME!

Probably a staff problem. But really. It makes it SUCK!!!

Too many golfers at once. There were some holes with 3 foursomes backed up. 3 hours for 9 holes! Poor planning

Excellent, hard 9-hole! Great value always for this course. Pace is normally mediocre at best. But worth it. Tough.

My friends and I were pleasantly surprised at this beautiful course. It’s well maintained, the course staff is very friendly. Everything about this course was well done. Love it and will play it again, and again!!

Over all the conditions of this course are great. The only negative thing to mention is that the pacer was not seen until the end. 9 holes in almost 2.5 hours for a quick 36 par course.

Great amenities and friendly staff. Definitely will be back.

OK course I guess, conditions were good except the greens were very slow. Also the group ahead was painfully slow, we took about 2:15 for 9. i clicked "no" on would you recommend - not because it's that bad, but because Village Links just up the road is a better choice at comparable rates.

Excellent course and very challenging. They keep this course in excellent condition and it will become one of your favorites if it's not already.

I like the course layout. Fairways are clean and solid, greens are very slow and bunkers are soft. I enjoyed playing this 9 hole course...thanks

Nice layout for a nine hole course - have both challenging holes and short par 3s - place to consider if u have limited time and just want to play 9 holes

Outstandng!, friendly staff , course is in great shape. Restaurant is also outstanding value. I have played there several times always a good time.

If you're looking for a 9 hole course to work on your game, this course works well. Challenging enough to test you. Short enough to not have to spend an entire day. Pace can be slower than you'd like but not too bad most of the time.
