RIVERBEND GOLF COMMUNITY
🇨🇦 London, Ontario, CA
Designed by Doug Carrick


RiverBend, nestled along the picturesque meanders of the Thames River in London, Ontario, distinguishes itself as a haven of modern golf design. The course unfolds across gently rolling terrain, sculpted to subtly challenge golfers with its strategic bunkering and deceptively contoured greens. It's not a brute of a course; RiverBend requires thoughtful shot selection and precision, particularly on approaches to its well-defended putting surfaces. While favouring accuracy, a miscue will send your ball rolling down the hill into a rough lie so play it smart and stay above the hole.
Designed by renowned Canadian architect Doug Carrick, RiverBend reflects his commitment to creating playable yet engaging layouts. Carrick's design cleverly integrates the natural landscape, demanding players navigate strategically placed water hazards and mature trees that frame each hole. While RiverBend has not hosted major professional championships, it stands as a respected test of golf within the region, enjoyed by a discerning membership.
More than just a golf course, RiverBend fosters a strong sense of community among its members. A notable tradition is the club's unwavering support for local charities, with numerous fundraising events held throughout the season. And after a long day on the links, many members retreat to the clubhouse for a club-made gourmet pizza, a surprisingly popular culinary staple that has become a beloved part of the RiverBend experience.
