The dining room has floor to ceiling windows that face north, so it's bright without uncomfortable glare. There is bar seating as well as several tables. I can highly recommend the salads, which are generously sized and always very fresh. Breakfast is good, with light fluffy pancakes and tasty breakfast meats. Sandwiches are good here also, as are the wings and burgers. The wait staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the owner of the country club makes occasional appearances to check on customers. We always feel right at home here, even though we're not club members. My family and I live only half a mile from here, so we visit at least once a week.

When it comes to golf, at best, I'm a hacker. Although I've played more in the past two years then…read moreI have the rest of my life put together, I still blow and I know it. That means with limited exception, I'm not spending big money to play expensive courses. Why? I'll leave that to "the pros." But if I can find places online that are sub $40 or even in this case, sub $30....I'm in. The setup here is simple. You can head to their website to make a tee time, or you can also find them on GolfNow which is a much better deal as 18 with a cart on their site is $40 on a weekday and I hit it on GN for $25. river-bend-country-club-nc.book.teeitup.com/course/info Admittedly, I got to the course about an hour before my time and was hoping they would let me start whenever. No issue with that here. The person at the counter chuckled and said aside from a twosome that was in the parking lot, there was no one out there and no other tee times for the entire day. The course is a mixed bag. #1 couldn't be played in its proper form as the sprinklers were in full force all over the tee boxes. I sort of made my own modified tee area and went from there. #15 had a "modified" green. The actual green is OOO and they have kind of a half-assed cut "green" with flag and cup in what would be the fairway. No bueno There is some water on a few of the back nine holes, not much in terms of sand, a ton of trees and houses that are close but not that bad on most of the holes. Between tee boxes, fairways and greens I would grade them C, B and C-. Some of the tees are decent, and others are mostly chewed up or just straight up sandy. The fairways are in good shape and no joke, there were more guys out mowing then there were people playing. The greens are.....not a lot of break in them but too many are more black then green and they are definitely on the faster side of fast. This place resembles, somewhat in a good way and somewhat not in a good way, the course over at Minnesott Beach. A lot of the same issues there are the same as the issues here and in each case, I would be hesitant to play either place at full price. For a cheap hacker this is good enough. If you take things seriously or are expecting true upscale country club conditions, you're going to leave shaking your head.
