River Bend Golf Course

Fairways are side by side and balls end up on the other fairway slowing play and could be dangerous. Heard fore at least once. Need to keep your head up.

I rated this course for what it is a 9 hole city course. It isn't Augusta National (which I've been there ) . This is a very well maintained challenging course with a nice layout. The clubhouse is newer, clean, well maintained building. Lunch was VERY good more of a restaurant than a golf clubhouse. Staff was friendly and professional. This is as good as it gets for a 9 hole city course !!!

my only questions are.....

Who trains the starter? Why would a starter send out 4, 2-domes in a row instead of pairing groups up. Don't they know that creates a jam on the course which slows pace of play up immensely.

Why have a ranger if they sit under a tree texting on their phone when it takes 2:55 to play 9-holes.

Ridiculous slow. Not worth playing on the weekends unless you have 3+hours to play 9 holes

I enjoyed my round of golf here even though I had to use a pull cart because the golf carts were not being used this day do to the recent rain the course received. A Visually pleasing course with some nicly placed hazards to keep you on your toes.

I'm playing it again on Friday May 2nd.,.cant believe I've never played it before....!

First time playing this course. I enjoyed myself. Only wanted to play nine and this fit the bill. Clubhouse intended Gary was excellent.

Decent place to knock it around. Well maintained enough to not affect your game, but not great attention to detail.

This is a very challenging 9 hole course. Water, trees, and the greens are well protected by bunkers. The greens were in good shape and very undulating and quick. Try River Bend and you won't be disappointed,

Very challenging, beautiful 9 hole course. Anytime less than$27 w cart, more than worth it.

This is a well maintained course with a very friendly staff. First time playing here, and the course (tee to green) is challenging to follow from hole to hole with it squeezed into a small space. Very beautiful landscape especially with the wetlands. Challenging course for a novice.

The green was not even ready. They were fixing it.

Starter likes to let his friends jump out on the course in front of groups which had already teed off. 3.5 hours to play 9 holes, and the rangers did nothing to help speed things up.

This is a great little course if you're looking for a quick 9 holes. By no means a championship challenge, but a nice challenge if you're looking to get out for a quick 9 holes. While not very difficult, the course is set up as a fair challenge and you have to really plan your way around the course if you want to score well.

We got a little rushed off the first tee which would be my one complaint. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in good condition. I would recommend this course to someone looking to play a quick 9. Good for beginner or intermediate golfers.

For a 9 hole course River Bend is really worth playing with every hole scenic and challenging.

Well maintained relatively challenging 9 hole course. I would say one of the nicest 9 holes in the area.
Pace of play is a little slow sometimes with a mix of walking and riding players, this could be better controlled. If you are in a hurry be careful on the weekends. Weekend round took 3 hours+ way too much for 9 holes.
Other than the pace its a nice challenging course and friendly staff.

9 holes on a Sunday afternoon took 3 hours! Either they overbooked or they were inefficient in pairing groups together.

Definitely will come back with many friends on a weekly basis.

I enjoyed river bend. It wasn't overly challenging until you got to the greens. Hard to read. Nice course for local golf.

4 of us played 9 holes at river bend golf course on the morning of July 13th. Despite the considerable amount of rain over the past 24 hours, the course was in pristine condition. Especially considering the price point, I would be hard pressed to find a better bargain in Chicagoland.
