About Us
The Riverbend Golf Complex is owned and operated by the City of Kent. The golf
complex is a public facility and consists of a Championship 18 Hole Golf Course, 9 Hole Par 3
Golf Course, Driving Range, Miniature Golf and Golf Merchandise Retail Store. The
Championship 18 Hole Golf Course opened in 1989 and has consistently been ranked as one of
the busiest golf courses in the state for the past ten years. The Golf Division, as part of the
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has operated the facility since 2000.
The Riverbend Golf Complex is situated on 160 acres of former agricultural land
adjacent to the Green River in the Kent Valley. The golf complex is bisected north and south by
Meeker Street, with the Par 3 Golf Course and Driving Range facilities are located on the south
side and the 18 Hole Golf Course and main clubhouse are located on the north side. In addition,
the golf complex is bordered by the very popular and heavily used Green River Trail. The 18
Hole Golf Course is recognized as one of the busiest course in the state with 65,000 rounds
annually, while the Par 3 Golf Course hosts an additional 38,000 rounds annually. The recently
remodeled 18 Hole Golf Course is relatively flat and easy to walk, yet offers a challenge to all
skill levels of players with over 50 bunkers and three lakes. The Par 3 Golf Course is great for
beginners and players looking to improve their skills and offers a relatively flat, easy to walk,
easy to play golfing experience. In addition to the two golf courses, the golf complex also has a
32 stall driving range, 18 holes of miniature golf and a full scale golf merchandise retail store.
