River Bend Golf Club

River Bend Golf Club is a public 9-hole course in Lisle, Illinois, and one of the most-played courses in Illinois on Hole19. The layout is built on bent grass tees, fairways, and greens, with water or wetlands coming into play on eight of the nine holes. That consistent presence of wetlands gives the course its character and its challenge. The par 36 design carries a rating of 70.8 and a slope of 126 from the blue tees, stretching from 2,600 yards up to over 3,300 yards from the back tees. Four sets of tees make the course accessible to a wide range of skill levels, and its location in the western suburbs puts it within easy reach of the greater Chicago area.
