About the course
River bends is a 27 hole course that has had many different layouts throughout the years. The current layout was finished mid 2016. The front 9 holes offer some elevation change, long technical lines, and a few chances to lose an errant shot if you aren’t weary. The middle 12 holes are relatively flat and the river comes into play on multiple holes. Lots of RHBH hyzer shots. The remaining holes offer a chance to throw some big risk/reward shots. Come prepared for mud and/or standing water if it has been raining. Come even more prepared for mosquitoes in the summer (I mean REALLY prepared).
