ABOUT RIVER BEND GOLF COURSE IN RIVERTON, UTAH

Riverbend Golf Course is Salt Lake County owned and operated public golf course, but this course is another one of Northern Utah's excellent courses and is not a typical municipal golf course. 

Built in 1993 by Gene Bates, a well known Utah golf course designer and recipient of the 2004 Architect of the Year award, this design is one of Gene's earlier creations and features two contrasting nines. 

The front nine is relatively flat with large Sahara-desert like bunkers and challenging greens, two pesky lakes come into play on a few of the holes.

The back nine starts with the spectacular par-4 tenth with a stunning elevated tee looking directly into the Wasatch Mountains and the fairway 100 feet below.  The inward nine winds through native wetlands and the Jordan River is in play on many holes. The course is not incredibly long for today's newer design standards but Riverbend Golf Club continues to be one of Slat Lake County's finest courses and one Utah's excellent golf treasures.
