The driving range is one the better ones around. It is wide and deep with many targets to aim at. The mats have been replaced and are new. There are heaters for the cold and lights for the dark.They have good range balls that get culled when worn. There is a separate area to have lessons with video feedback of your swing numbers. Across the street at the course is a large putting green and another green for chipping with a sand trap. All in all, it is a complete upgraded facility with pro shop to work on your game. The larger parking lot is where the putt putt used to be. read more

Now I'm not a golfer. I've been a few times many years ago but I'm not involved in the golfing community. Having said that, I had a great time! I hit a bucket of balls and had fun. The staff were friendly. If I'm in the area and itching to golf I'm going here. read more

It's 2019 and apparently after numerous horrible reviews the owners still haven't gotten the clue to either get rid of the course or put some money into it. It was $8 per person and so bad it was actually lol funny. The pictures that people have posted are very accurate. Surprised no one posted pics of the "water" yes they have "ponds" which are a hazard because it looks like oil and water mixed and your ball can easily go in so have your partner play goalie so the ball stays safe! Trash was full and big disappointment no concession stand so BYOD if your thirsty. Flags were missing so it's literally a hold in the ground, over grown bushes and lots and lots of bees! if your allergic bring your EPI Pen! Ok well that's it, golf at your own risk...you've been warned! read more

This place is definitely not nice at all. It was a big mistake to listen to the other reviews on here; we were very disappointed with the mini golf. It all starts with the location, with the mini golf situated on the corner of two main roads so it's extremely loud and unpleasant. Also, they crunch 18 holes onto a plot of land no bigger than a playground. Furthermore, the facilities are very dirty, with garbage everywhere and the "water traps" and "flowing rivers" filled with some very questionable liquid probably off the pH scale. The actual holes themselves, while having decent individual designs, have seen better days. Nobody maintains the holes, and they are literally falling apart in places. In short, don't come here. Trust me. read more

The crappiest golf place I've ever been to came here because of good reviews on google pretty sure they're fake driving range is not maintaned at all, loaner clubs are hanging on for dear life taped together and what not. This is my first and last time here if you're looking for a fun relaxing experience I urge you to look elsewhere. read more

The mini golf course was run down and didn't look like anyone had tended to it in awhile. There were a lot of leaves and debris on the course. I'd rather drive a little farther and go somewhere else read more

Had so much fun! Went to mini golf and the driving range. The mini golf was clean and well kept despite all the comments from earlier reviewers - so we were lucky. Very fun course and not too complicated. Only a few places where you could really lose the ball lol Next we did the driving range for the first time. The staff was really nice and helped us pick what type of club to use. Luckily we didn't get hurt, but there were a few other beginners there that caused the ball to ricochet - yikes! They should have some type of better barrier between players. All in all fun experience! Pretty cheap - $8 per mini golf and $6.50 for 50 balls. read more

I should have read the reviews before coming here. We stopped in as part of our date just for fun and to kill time. Like others said, this place is an S hole. Clearly nobody maintains or cleans the mini golf course. It felt like we were putting in an abandoned overgrown back yard. McDonalds bags, garbage, bugs, crap laying all over the place. Branches from trees laying all over, stagnant mossy scum water in the "ponds". We had to clear out the putting areas before we could golf. There were gloves, poles, and equipment laying around. Trees and bushes so overgrown you couldnt put without moving around branches. Nobody has cleaned this place in months. There were tons of spider webs, bees, and other bugs all over. It smelled like urine and some type of chemical. I would never ever go back here and I recommend to everyone to look elsewhere read more

Horrible! Went there today for the first time and will be the last. The course is run down, weeds everywhere and the small water ponds are half full of scum, dirt, trash and bugs. It's really to bad because with some work and a little $ it could be very nice. The trash in the trash cans is weathered and looks like it's been in there for weeks. Should have 0 stars for this place. read more

I dont have much experience with driving ranges or golf courses, so at this point anything that leads to fun gets 4 stars in my book. I didnt see any gofers to try to hit though. Zipzap Zubidy Bop! read more

Took my kids here for their first mini golf experience. Wow. If they've stopped maintaining the place, they really shouldn't charge people to golf. It was like the 'abandoned places' pics on Instagram. read more

This mini golf course sucks!!! It's overrun with weeds, the course is littered with beer cans and the ponds do not appear to have been cleaned in years. We will never go here again, especially for $6 per person. We certainly weren't paying for course maintenance! read more

The driving range is OK, small bucket is $5, and large is $8. The balls at this place are yellow too! The range is made up of a lot of mats, and Kingdome/Metrodome/Astrodome/Husky Stadium/3-rivers Stadium/EdwardJones Dome-esque astroturf instead of grass out in the hitting area. There's even a few water hazards out there, so that's fun to avoid. The Par-3 course is great if you need practice using your irons, and really should help your game if you use it to your advantage. The holes are short, some yardage in the 80's, and I think the longest was about 170. read more

I have no idea how good this place is for golf but I will say that as an avid morning runner I appreciate the well lit course and clean paths coursing throughout the range and course, particularly as the majority of sidewalks in Kent are less than ideal for pre-dawn jogging and the drivers are a bit faster than I would prefer. All things being equal I'll probably never be back to Kent and I'll never golf or hit a bucket of balls here, but if I were in the area with my clubs I'd check it out as everything seemed quite well maintained and the location was quite convenient off the highway. read more

Got the groupon deal for 40 buckets at the range. It's a great deal and the place isn't bad to practice at. River Bend isn't fancy but you get your monies worth. read more

Took the grand kids for mini golf. Very disappointed. Course is littered with debris that a simple leaf blower would remove. The course has potential but management needs to invest in regular maintenance. read more

It's nothing fancy, but it's fun and good for kids or people starting to golf, but may be intimidated by a golf club or country club atmosphere. It's conveniently located and there are lots of hitting bays- you can usually find a quiet spot unless it's a hot summer day. Covered and protected from the wind. It's good enough. read more

Umm... For those who are coming for the first time this is a 180 yard driving range. If you like hitting into a net with balls from 1990 then this is the place for you!!! read more

My family recently went to this miniature golf course. Although the driving range and golf course are very nice, the miniature golf course is in a state of disrepair. At one time, it was nicely landscaped with beautiful shrubbery and trees; however, it appears no weeding or upkeep have been done for years. In addition, the three ponds seemed a bit like cesspools----dirty and mosquito traps. We won't be going to this course again unless the City of Kent decides to clean it up. read more

Use this driving range at your own risk, especially if you're right handed and prone to miss-hitting the ball. I know two people who recently had their ball hit the metal vertical post near the driving mat and ricochet hitting one in the knee cap and one in the thigh - both thought they were seriously hurt (one went to the doctor). I can't believe this doesn't happen to more people and why the range doesn't place protective shields to prevent ricochets - they have some shields, but not sufficient protection. read more
