River Bend Golf Course

River Bend is an awesome course. I will say they book up pretty solid and its a fairy long course and a bit of a challenging course so play is always slow, expect 3-3.5 hours to play 9 holes.

They're also big on you being prompt and on time, like most courses should be but if you have friends who can't show up on time for tee times not the course for you. Not knocking them for it but this isn't your dumpy park district course where anything goes, probably not a good place for speakers or being late, more of a serious course.

Course is challenging, lots of water and marshes, always well kept and the bar and patio that overlooks the first tee is a great place to get drinks after your round, $1 wings between like 11 and 3

It's a long 9 hole course which is a nice change. Only 3 holes under 180yards. All the rest are driver holes. One par 3 has a pond in front of the flag stick makes for a nice challenge and really gets you to know your club distance to clear the pond. Great course very slow at 3 o'clock. Was perfect

I love golfing here. The price is right for the size you play. Love playing the par 5's here. Brought a few friends for their first time here. They love coming back. Course is always well kept. The staff are very friendly. Just got a new restaurant in there. The food is really good. Always worth coming to.

Even though the scorecard includes the course rating and slope for the various tees, when I tried to post my score on the CDGA handicap site, I was told River Bend’s rating was not valid. The management of the course needs to work with CDGA to get that corrected. Otherwise it’s a nice layout and good value for walking seniors.

The staff are extremely friendly and the course was worth the cost. It's a good value for what you pay. I look forward to going back!

The pace of play was unbelievable horrible. People behind us were hitting balls off the tee box when we were in the fairway. Seemed like they over packed the course. Just never a good experience when you’re being rushed and even worse experience when it’s a 3 hour and 45 minute round of 9 holes.

Friendly staff, great course and I will recommend this course to all my friends.

A fun 9 that had it all! Couple par 3s but mostly 4s and 5s, really fun hole layouts that weren't too difficult to play for us beginners

Nice course.

Heavy rain the night before so no riding carts. Prepaid for our threesome with riding carts. After the round I inquired about a refund/credit for the riding carts. Was told I had to go through GolfNow to get refund. Bit of a hassle but I did get a credit.

Love playing this course. Staff is very friendly, course is very good for my style of play. (average golfer).

First time playing where the pace was extremely slow. Not sure why, but maybe the staff could move along whatever group was causing the delay.

Course was in very good condition. The greens are very large and in good overall condition. One green, believe number7 had a few bad spots. If people would fix ball marks and replace divits couse would be in excellent condition. Very challenging course.

River Bend is a nice 9 hole course, with some challenging holes. The starter and beverage cart lady were very nice. We had a bit of a challenge with pace of play (a group 3 in front of us was quite slow) but typical of a weekend public course. I do wish players would learn to fix ball marks on greens! The restaurant and bar are good for before or after your round.

This course could be fun, but course play was very slow. A lot of golfers who were hitting the ball into other fairways, looking too long for lost balls, putting in three inch putts instead of moving on, parking carts in front of the greens instead of around to side or back. It was like a bunch of folks who never golfed before.

No signage on where to get carts...where to put clubs etc.

Won't be back
