About this course

River Bend Links sits in Robinsonville, Mississippi, a small community in the northwestern corner of the state near the Mississippi River and the Tennessee border. The course was designed by Clyde B. Johnston, a regional architect active primarily in the mid-20th century who worked on several layouts across the South. Johnston's designs typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural terrain available. The Robinsonville area is characterized by relatively flat Delta topography with some gentle elevation changes, and courses here often incorporate water features and native vegetation common to the region. The proximity to the Mississippi River influences the local landscape, though specific routing details and the degree to which the course engages with water hazards or wooded corridors depend on the particular property. Robinsonville developed significantly as a gaming destination in the 1990s, with several casino resorts establishing operations in the area. Golf courses in this region often serve both local membership and resort play, providing recreational options for visitors to the broader Tunica County gaming corridor. River Bend Links fits within this context as part of the recreational infrastructure that developed alongside the area's hospitality industry. The course offers a straightforward test of golf in a setting typical of northwestern Mississippi, where the emphasis tends toward accessible design rather than extreme length or severe hazards. Players encounter the characteristic challenges of Delta golf: managing moisture, reading subtle breaks on greens, and navigating strategically placed hazards on generally open terrain.

Getting there

The gateway to River Bend Links is Memphis International Airport, just across the Tennessee state line and roughly forty minutes north by car. From there, the route follows Highway 61 south through the flat, fertile expanse of the Mississippi Delta - cotton fields and modest roadside markers gradually giving way to the quiet casino corridor of Tunica County. River Bend sits tucked along this stretch in Robinsonville, where the landscape opens to reveal the club's rolling terrain carved from former agricultural land, a surprisingly sculptural contrast to the table-flat surroundings that define this storied corner of the Deep South.
