Decent course

Decent little 9-hole course. Good condition and decent layout, albeit kinda squished together. Two knocks are the pace of play was dreadfully slow and the bar was closed. We basically watched the group in front of us tee off on every single hole and I couldn’t grab a beer after my round.

RB review

9 holes shouldn’t take over 2.5 hours ever

Tee times need to be spaced out better especially since a lot of players of all levels come to play here.

It was good, clean course. Nothing with wow factors which I’m okay with for the price. I’d go back

Tee Boxes need work

River Bend is a decent course but the fairways are pretty tight. The fairways and greens were in good shape but the tee boxes were chewed up and very hard, which was surprising due to the amount of rain we've had and that it's early in the season.

Great place to play. Maintained well. Fast, but still challenging.

My brother and I are still newer to golf, but he was on it with his driver today too.

Slow pace

Slow players ahead of my group and also are the groups ahead of them. They didn’t have courtesy to let people play through them. The ranger came out but didn’t know what to do. Wouldn’t be back.
