River’s Edge Golf Course

Hawaii Prices for this course? I came here in late August on a week day thinking it would be affordable to play. This course charged me $ 76 to play. I can play Kapalua Plantation for $ 75 with a local rate. I can play Crosswater, Pronghorn, Brasada, Tetherow or even Bandon for around $ 80. Please tell me how this value of this course equates to these? Yes, their costs go down at noon but this course should never even start at this rate. Unfortunately for them, they have lost my local business. I may use their driving range but I would be hard pressed to golf there again.

Great choice for golf, close in to Bend. Challenging course in good shape. Pro shop staff is helpful and friendly (none of that resort course attitude found at more expensive courses 15 miles south of Bend).
Front 9 fun and easier than hilly back 9. Pace of play excellent, both rounds I played were under 4 hours. Affordable.
Only reason I knocked off star 5 was the abundant water hazards were dry. Not sure why, fairways and greens were in excellent shape.

Great rates. Great views. No reason to over spend in Sunriver courses whe. You can drive 20 miles to River’s Edge.

Pretty standard muni course. Packed, but challenging, well maintained, great Marshall. A little on the pricy side, but deals are found on golfnow.

Three stars is about right. I found a tee off time on golf now.
The course is in ok shape. I think it is pricey if you don’t get a discount.
Overall, the staff was nice, played really quick.
They have a driving range.
I would never ever walk this course. It would be a pain.
I think I shot an 82

This is probably one of the worst courses in central Oregon. It’s overpriced and absolutely impossible to walk. There is little rough and then scrub that swallows golf balls. The greens need improved badly. They are lumpy and do not roll true at all, not to mention very slow and inconsistent. With all the options for golf available in central Oregon you should avoid this one.

Nice course. Stay in the fairway or you’ll be hitting off rocks, under sage brush or good luck finding your ball. This course is difficult, but not because of the layout, but because of all the blind shots. I think you can see the flag from maybe 4 of the 18 holes from the teebox. Get a power cart, the elevation changes are on every hole. It may only be 20 ft up right at the green, but it will wear out even the best in shape golfers.

I had heard good things about this golf course from some friends of mine that vacationed here a few years ago. I showed up and found a very wet and very over watered course. Mud holes, and the greens were not in very good shape. I rode by one of the workers on the course that was busy hooking up sprinklers to an already saturated area and wondered why they think that it needs more water. Don“t bother showing up here to play you will be highly disappointed.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a golf fanatic. You know how some people go to parties «for the food»? Well, I play golf for the beer and for the cigars. And also because my boyfriend is an avid and MAD-​talented golfer. So what you are going to read here is a non-golfer’s review of a golf course. What’s pretty, what’s not, and any other random thoughts that come to mind. If you want a technical evaluation of a golf course, including whether the tee boxes are level (apparently that’s important)… this is NOT the review for you. I suggest you read the other reviews here (if there are any) or go buy one of those fancy-​schmancy golf magazines. K? K!
Let’s roll…
The twilight rate at this course is one of the best deals in Bend. Any time after 3 or 4pm (depending on the day of the week) it’s about $ 40 with a cart. And believe me, you want the cart. Walking this course is not for the faint of heart. It’s a long, steep walk up the road from the 8^th green to the 9^th tee! And the back 9 are up and down and up and down… so either be fit or get a cart.
I know, golf could be great exercise except for that cart. But then where would I put my beer?
There are homes on the course but the natives are friendly… mostly. We also spot deer, birds, rock chucks, and LOTS of bunnies if you are into critter-​watching.
Driving range is grass and uncovered. Which is great during the summer for burning off frustration!
Number 16 is a great par 3 with beautiful views from the tee boxes and a downhill shot to the green… wow! I can even make par on this hole, it’s so short. And the view goes past the green and down to the city and the countryside. Lovely!
