Lost a red Flash on #10, Yellow Meteor on # 15 and a fly dyed stalker on Hill Side of #19. Rewards for any or all returned. This was mine and the wife's first time out here and it took us for a ride. Side note, Found a few looking for ours.

20 something. Once they put the new teepads in it'll be just as badass as before.

Work day tomorrow. Mat Stivers and I will be there working on a couple of the new holes if anyone cares to join us. We will be there hopefully starting around 10 am and working until about 2. The plan is to start on the new hole #9 coming up next to the road by the pavilion / horse shoe pits closest to the old practice basket / hole 1. We will then begin on the new hole out by the current hole 17....

William "Bullet Bill" Pope    February 10, 2013 at 2:26am

Never been here before. The snow was over 1ft. deep in some areas. Played the first hole, then saw the second pad was cleared of snow, but couldnt see basket #2. I left after that. Bummer. Too much snow.

sidenote: updating with a phoine sucks lol. anyway. I suggest you ask for ocals to take you out due to the fact the course is being altered. there's many of us who enjoy Bends. ask away

John Minicuci   February 9, 2013 at 9:58pm

Basket 2 should still be at the bottom of the hill and to the right. The map in the sign facing tee pad 1 shows the current 20 layout and the hopeful 27 hole layout. I also posted them in the pictures of the course here. Look at pics for hole 1.

John Minicuci   February 9, 2013 at 9:59pm

You need to clik the Info tab above to get back to River Bends' homepage then click on hole 1 to get a slew of images. The map is the last entry.

A big shout out to Mat Stivers, Brandon Redmond, Mike Walker, Ed, Jeff Bauman, Kevin Egnatoski, and Jake Rogers for their assistance this weekend at River Bends. Hole 12 is starting to take shape. We actually saw a few good shots today from the tee pad. We have a long way to go out here so more help in the future would be awesome...
