Description
Riverbend is a classic 18-hole parkland course nestled amongst the beautiful farmland west of Richmond. The Jock River meanders through the course from the north and golfers will cross it a total of 9 times throughout the round. The front 9 is fairly open with a strong finish comprised of two par 5’s, with the 9th green perched just beyond the river in front of the clubhouse. The back 9 runs through tranquil and serene wooded areas to the back of the property before emerging to the tough 18th finishing hole. After the round golfers can retreat to the clubhouse for a pint in the lounge in front of the tv or on the patio overlooking the river.

Pro Tip

Aim for the left side of the fairway off the tee to avoid the trees that line the right side of the fairway. Aiming for the center of the green on your second shot will provide a safer landing zone and increase your chances of a good two-putt.

Pro Tip

Aim for the center of the green to avoid the water hazard that flanks the right side, especially if the pin is tucked. Use a club that ensures you have enough height to carry any potential obstacles while allowing for a safe landing zone. Consider the wind direction and adjust your aim slightly left if the wind is blowing from that direction, as it can push the ball back toward the center of the green.

Aim for the left side of the fairway off the tee to avoid the trees on the right, which can obstruct your approach. This will give you a better angle into the green, especially if you're hitting into a back pin position.

Pro Tip

Take a long enough club off the tee to ensure you can carry the water. A driver may bring the water on the right into play; hitting a short club will increase your chance of being in the fairway. The green has tricky slopes all along the right half. Make sure you aim toward the proper side of the green so your ball does not roll away from the hole.

Pro Tip

Aim for the center of the green to avoid the water hazard on the left, ensuring a safer approach. Use a club that allows for a controlled shot, as the green appears to have subtle undulations that can complicate putting. Consider the wind direction, as it may influence your distance and trajectory, especially on a par 3 where precision is key.

Aim to land your tee shot in the left portion of the fairway to avoid the trees on the right and set up a clear angle for your second shot. Be mindful of the water hazard that comes into play as you approach the green; consider laying up short if you're not confident in reaching the green in two. For your approach, favor the left side of the green to mitigate the risk of rolling into the hazard on the right.

Pro Tip

Aim for the center of the green to avoid the hazards surrounding the front and sides, as these can lead to difficult recovery shots. Consider the wind direction, which can significantly affect your club selection and shot trajectory, especially with trees framing the hole. Aiming for an approach angle that allows for a larger landing zone will help you secure a better chance for par or birdie.

Pro Tip

Aim for the left side of the fairway off the tee to avoid the trees and create a better angle for your approach to the green. When approaching, be mindful of the bunker positioned near the front; a well-placed shot should land just short or on the green to avoid rolling back into trouble. Finally, consider the pin placement and adjust your approach accordingly, ensuring you give yourself a manageable putt.
