River Bend Golf Club — Restaurant in Lisle

The word “harassed” comes up for this place as a common word in reviews, and after playing a round today I definitely see why. If you golf here, you WILL be harassed by staff and other golfers.

We showed up 15 minutes early for our tee time, but started late because the group in front of us started 10 minutes late, which I have little problem with. However, the problems started once we teed off and within 5 minutes, the player assistant is rushing us off the 1st hole. We didn’t even get to finish hole 1, were sent to hole 2, only to wait yet again for the group in front of us. The player assistant then followed us for holes 2 & 3, even though we had to keep waiting for the group in front of us.

I don’t have a problem with waiting for slower golfers, but I do have an issue with club staff harrassing us to hurry up, only to wait even more. Additionally, my brother was sworn at by another golfer for picking up his ball, even after my brother tried to ask the guy if the ball was his before he picked it up. The guy decided to harrass us even after we tried to be courteous.

We tried to talk honestly and cordially about our experience to the club house worker, Gary, but he seemed extremely disinterested in our issues, and refused to help past “bringing this to his manager.” He was kind, but refused to help.

My brothers and I golf every weekend. It’s no wonder this place has bad reviews. The atmosphere, community, and staff are virtually non existent. Do NOT golf...

Worst experience golfing we’ve had. Our tee time was the last one of the day because we are still slightly beginners but moving pretty quickly. The foursome in front of us was 1/2 driving a cart 1/2 walking and we didn’t get to start until 15 minutes after our tee time. After that it just kept getting worse. Ranger kept driving around just staring at us saying nothing at all, we told him we kept having to wait on the group ahead of us and asked if he could say something and he drove right past them. We continually had to wait at least 8 minutes on each hole sometimes even pushing 10 just to be able to tee off while the group ahead of us was still on the green. When we got to the last hole ranger came up and told us we get 2 minutes to finish because he can’t keep waiting on us to finish. However, we were still within their pace of play which is 2 hours and 30 minutes. We told him once again the group in front of us kept holding us up and he said it’s not my problem and nothing I can do about it but you need to hurry up. We didn’t even get to finish our last hole.

Extremely disappointed with our experience and definitely will not be coming back. Customers paying $80 to play a 9 hole course should not be treated so poorly and with such disrespect. This course just...

I went with a group of three women and was extremely disappointed. It was very clear, we were not welcome. On the first hole, taking our turn, on time, the group of men behind us loudly made comments about needing cart girls because this is going to be a long day. The course attendant then came to us before we could even get to putting on that first hole and told us that we were holding people up and should move to scramble formation. The group on hole two in front of us hadn’t even finished so we could not move forward yet. Yet, we were being told that we were holding others up. There was no conversation being had with the groups with men in them who were talking long, or causing issues. It was only us. Multiple times throughout the course, men would drive their Carts onto our fairway while we were actively playing the hole. We would have to stop mid swing because someone would get out of their cart, take practice wings, and hit their ball back onto their hole. The group behind us continuously made loud comments about waiting on us. Even though we had to wait on the groups in front of us who were walkers, and the man was wearing flip-flops and short shorts. It is extremely clear that women are not welcome or...
