Best way to play RiverBend
I really like this course with one HUGE exception: the pace of play is almost ALWAYS too slow (like 2:30-3hr rounds for 9) most of the time. It seems to be a combination of a first hole that doesn't allow the next group to tee off until the group ahead is nearly/on the green and also they squeeze in tee times every 8 minutes which is nearly impossible to keep on pace.
I played as a sinlge the morning after a nasty storm and early - like the 2nd tee time of the day so the course was wide open for me - i only caught up with the people who teed off 25min earlier on hole 8.
WIthout the annoyingly long delay between shots as I usually encounter here, this was a dream round on a fun course. But it's so bad in normal play i rarely come here.

Bargain
Great little 9 holer for the money. It’s fair and you’ll use every club. The conditions are fine, pretty course for what you pay. The roosters along the left side of # 8 are a literal hoot. The staff is awesome, biggest reason I made this my home course

If I could give zero stars, I would. Place of play was terrible. We did not even finish 7 holes and we were at over 3 hours. Don’t come here.
