Early season rough greens

Rough greens, but considering this winter probably similar at other courses. Carts on paths only-too wet in some areas. But, for the early season price it was a good value. Once a few weeks go by it should be in much better shape. Overall a fun course

Dear Golfer,

Unfortunately, the course fell down the tubes since. Our 2015 season was awful. Our superintendent basically ruined the course condition to its worst shape in our establishment. That, on top of irrigation issues, created a nightmare for all here at RBCC.

We are under new maintenance management, headed by the skillful David Porter, superintendent. Under his hand, our maintenance crew has done wonders for the course: our greens are fast, and GREEN--"the best in the region" says many golfers.

We are working hard to get back our lost customers, as well as get the course to what it should be: a Top 100 Public Course (as rated by Golf Digest). I ask all to be patient with us, for a lot of capital is going into restoring River Bend's beauty.

Reach me immediately at riverbend250@gmail.com, or call at 508-580-3673.

Come on back, and play with Jared (my son, and the head of social relations/tech) and two others--on the house.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Gerry Cosby and RBCC Staff

LEAGUE NIGHT BUT WORKED OUT

This Course Is Great Course And Some Of My Friends Hate it ! But I love It And The Layout Is Just Awesome. Most People Don't Pay Attention To The Markers On The Tee Boxes , You Must Adjust At Every Course Your Body Position So You Do Not Hit the Ball Out Of Bounds. I Find That's Why People do Not like This course And Others Do. Many Courses Set You Up to Fail On The Tee Boxes But You Need To Catch On. Every time I play Some Holes Just Get Yah.

great course

This Course Is A great Course To Play especially if its Dry but if you played here you know the wet areas and fairways to avoid.
The holes do not change but you need to play smart and this course offers Great Challenges and My Wife & I Enjoy Playing Here When Possible. Position Your Hips Slightly Left On The 1st Hole Or You May Find The River On The Right ( Tee Boxes Always Face The River So Adjust. ) Have Fun And Don't Tera Up The Grounds For Us Friendly People.

Hidden gem!

Played on a fairly quiet Sunday morning. I didn't even have to enter the clubhouse to check in because the starter caught me on the way inside, asked for my name, and said that I was good to go.

The area had received rain the day before, but you could barely tell. The conditions were some of the best I've experienced in both MA and NH. Greens were SUPER fast and rolling pure. Most of the tee boxes, minus the par threes, looked untouched.

The format of the course was truly unique. The front nine was wide open and reminded me of many of the resort courses that I've played in FL. The back nine reminded me of the woodland courses in GA that I am used to playing. The layout was very friendly for a golfer of my caliber. Although, I would like to see combo tees between the blues and whites (~6,000 yds), as I had to play the whites measuring <5,800 yds due to the blues being too long (>6,300).

I wish it was located closer to me so I could play it more regularly. Thanks for a great outing!

Great greens

The course is in great shape. Some wet spots on the edges from all the rain but tees and greens perfect as well as fairways.

Would play again

Course has a nice layout, not much tree worries. Second part of the front 9 has kind of a links feel. Only complaint was the ground looked firm but definitely was softer than expected in some places. Greens rolled real quick and were a little chewed up in some spots but that happens on a busy course.

Playing in the rain

Lost a couple of balls in the back on the fairways because of puddles and the ground being so soft . I think the ground just ate them
