About
The Riverbend Golf Complex sits along the Green River in Kent Valley, Wash. Owned and operated by the City of Kent, the complex offers a championship, 18-hole course and a mini-golf course. The 18-hole course is one of the busiest in the state with more than 65,000 rounds played on it annually. The golf course sprawls across a relatively flat landscape, making it easily walkable. Though it may not be hilly, that doesn't mean it's trouble free. There are more than 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout and three lakes come into play as well. The layout is player friendly, with enough variety to appeal to players of all skill levels.

Fun to play
Really fun course to play,and one of the few courses in the area with all types of warm up/practice areas and a driving range. Fairways in good condition with lower cut rough around greens. Played on Oct 3, most greens were puttable, but definitely not yet rolling “true”, due to a recent fall aeration, they should be better in another week or so.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Riverbend Golf Complex.

This course is a solid play
The cost to play here is pretty friendly all things considered. The fairways were in good shape but some of the greens had something left to be desired. It seems like nobody that plays here fixes their pitch marks on the greens. I easily fixed 30 marks myself during the day. However, despite the marked up greens, they rolled really well and fairly smooth. I’d play here again and I think if you’re in or around the area, it’s a decent stop for the cost of a round.

Friendly, Flat & Fun
If you like narrow fairways, tiny, lumpy greens, and impossible lies, don’t come here. I spent most of the round on the fairway, though not always my own! There are five sets of tees, so you can still make your round a challenge if you like.

Great course and great value
Played after a lot of rain, so naturally it was soggy, but the greens were in great shape and had fun. Definitely looking forward to playing it in the summer.

Decent course
Played this course many times. The upkeep is always good and greens are decent. During winter season the drainage on cou rse os good. I would wait a day thiugh if hesvy rains are prior. Very easy course to walk. With that said the pace of play can get slowed down sometimes.
