River Bend YMCA Golf Course

Been playing here for several years as it’s close by the house. The greens have been really good since they redid them a few years ago. But the rest of the course was just average conditions. This summer the course is in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. They have cut down a lot of trees to allow for sunlight. And as a result. Tees and fairways are as good as the the greens. And even the rough was more than dirt rocks and roots. All in all a great value for the prices they are asking.

In spite of the hot temperatures still had a wonderful round at a wonderful course. Truly enjoyed. Keep doing what you are doing. Until next time,

BE BLESSED

River Bend has always been in great shape. When they are cutting trees to clear out things, they make sure it does not interfere with play. The staff are always willing to help

The staff always treats my group extremely well. The Jamz golf group of charlotte have fell in love with this course since the first time we played. The staff has always treated us well and either gives us a discount off the Rack Rate or a bag of range balls per man. We usually play on Saturday and need 8 to 10 tee times, they have always accommodated the group with early tee times when we request them. The course is well maintained every time we've played. Wish the clubhouse was bigger to accommodate our large group when we settle up at the end. All in all, it's great to play a course that knows how to treat it's golfers. It is worth going out of our way to play. We usually play this course 3 to 4 times a year.

WOW! This course was on far better shape than what I expected! I was totally impressed with the course as it had been almost 20 years since I’d played it. Grounds crew has done an amazing job and it has by far some of the best greens I’ve ever played on. Great job team.

If you live in the Shelby area this should be your course!

Great course in excellent conditions. Friendly layout and super nice people. We will go back again. thanks

Great value at this course. Greens and conditions good and they layout is fun. Only reason I put 4 stars for pace of play is because there was a 35 minute wait on the first tee. We’re not sure what the cause was but I think the starter could have been a little stricter on the groups in front of us. However, if you are considering making the short trip from Charlotte like we did, it is worth checking out!

The course is really good maintained. I wish my suppliers would do this maintenance on their machines...

We were attending a wedding in South Carolina and we found this nice course. The greens were excellent and the staff was super nice. The layout was challenging but not too bad. I shot even on the front nine and 5 over on the back nine. My wife played as well and the women's tees were very friendly.

Got our to RiverBend yesterday for the first time since last summer. It is a still a solid public golf course, and has some of the very best greens around. They have done alot of tree work, and have had ALOT of trees cut down. Especially between 1/9/18 and around 12. So a good bit of rough is marked GUR in that area. But other than that the course is in good shape. We played the day after we got 5-6 inches of rain in 2 days. It was cart path only, but you expected that. I also expected balls to plug, and bunkers to be unplayable. However, I was wrong. The staff had gotten the bunkers fluffed up by 10:30 when we teed off and not 1 had standing water in it that I could see. They got the tees cut as well. The fairways were a bit long but that was understandable, but I was amazed at how dry they were. The greens were absolutely great. They always are-the best around.
The prices are some of the best and most reasonable around. If you get the chance, go give it a play.
