Riverbend Golf Course
About Riverbend Golf Course
Riverbend Golf Course is an 18-hole public course in Fort Wayne, Indiana, designed by Ernie Schrock and opened in 1972. The layout follows the natural landscape, routed in, around and across the bends of the St. Joseph River, so river scenery is a constant feature of the round.
The par-72 course measures 6,702 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 72 and a slope of 127. The front nine is relatively short and tight and includes an unusual pair of back-to-back par 3s, while the back nine opens up and gives longer hitters more room. The mix of holes suits a range of skill levels.
