Everything was fine. They added a 3rd to our group of 2. (My husband and me) nice kid! Some changes since we were last there, several years. And it wasnt as special as i remember. But it was nice.

We haven't played for over a decade but wanted to get back into the sport. We chose River Bend because the greens fees were competitive to other courses around Nampa. We figured that their schedule might not be as full on a holiday (Memorial Day). Booked a tee time online after discussing options with office staff over the phone. The course did not disappoint! We arrived and the parking lot was full, so the course is popular, even with a 45 minute commute to get there. We played the front 9. There was a foursome ahead of us, but we finished play in about 150 minutes. Carts were nice. There weren't any garbage cans, ball washers, or water barrels on the course. Gear up and prepare at the clubhouse. Staff was friendly.

River Bend was an average course but a good price. I was warned by a local to take bug spray for mosquitoes, but played in the middle of a hot day and had not insect trouble. Some of the fairways were a little dry when I played, but the greens were all in good shape. This course is pretty flat and an easy walk.

Beautiful setting for a game of golf. The course is forgiving at times. The day I played, the sand was like concrete. I just need to learn to stay out of there in the first place. 😆 I will definitely play here again.

UPDATE 2025: The paved paths have since been re-paved, and are smooth as butter now -- it's very nice! Nice course, paved paths need some work, they are a bit 'rough'. A variety of challenges including some water (ponds, a river, and canals - note that if your ball goes into a canal, it's like a black hole and you'll never see it again unless you're super lucky). Friendly local folks own and run the place.
