One of the best!
Definitely will come back with many friends on a weekly basis.
not bad
I enjoyed river bend. It wasn't overly challenging until you got to the greens. Hard to read. Nice course for local golf.
Gem of a course!!
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.
Slow play
This is a very challenging 9 hole course. The biggest problem here almost always is pace of play. We played as a 3-some and it was 3 hours for 9 holes. The price attracts a lot of people who are learning the game or think it is a picnic on a golf course. No sense of urgency to hit a ball, get out of the fairway after they hit or get off a green. Zero golf etiquette noticed here. However, there is a nice golf course under all of that.
Very crowded. ..
Extremely over booked. Had to wait a minimum of 12-18min per hole. I will play it again hopefully a little less crowded. I challenging little 9 hole course..
1st time but not last time to play there
Great course with 4 sets of tees. Challengling but fair. Great condition and very scenic. Will definitely be back.
Nice Little Course, But...
Tight layout that has balls all over the place from different holes. I would not recommend holiday play - 3.5 hours for 9 holes!!
Super friendly staff and excellent starter working hard to keep things moving.
beautiful scenery
Friendly staff. Pace was right on, never pushed. However, there as no beverage cart on a holiday weekend....big miss!
Slow
The course is nice and in good shape. But the play was slow I mean 3:20 min slow. Group in front of us was hole and half behind after 4 holes and ranger said and did nothing.
Saturday 9
Course was in great shape. Staff was friendly . Great time
Good local 9 hole, average
I have played this course several times. It's a good 9 hole track, couple of holes are a little challenging.
Con: greens were aerated and had a lot of sand, but it's start of the season.
For a 9 hole course it is very good.
It has interesting features on nearly every hole which gives it a good character. Somewhat challenging,but interesting.
A pleasant surprise
Drove by the other day coming home from 7 Bridges and stopped to look at the course which looked nice. Looked online for a deal and was surprised at how much they normally charge for this 9 hole gem. Too much! But found a deal for less than half and gave it a try. Pleasantly surprised at what a nice, well-maintained little course. I will return if i find a good 9-hole price online.
great deal, very well maintained, challenging, best 9hole course around Chicago
great deal, course in an excellent condition, greens are firm and fast, great layout. My favorite 9 hole course around Chicago. If you play it twice it will be complete 18 hole experience. Good tee boxes, good yardage markers on fairways and awesome sand bunkers - pleasure to play. After the round, enjoy a beer on the porch overlooking 9th green.
Nice 9 hole course
9 hole course very nice and senic. Ended up taking longer than expected due to slow groups ahead of us.
challenging layout
first time participant. really challenged me to using clubs and staying with it. the gentlemen I played with made it more enjoyable.
Too many people
The spacing of the tee times need to be spread out by at least 10 more minutes. The pile up at every hole was embarrassing and our 9 holes took just under 3 hours. Back up at tee one and it continued all course. I used to like this course but they clearly need to make some improvements to the pace of play.
