About Rivers Bend Golf Course
Rivers Bend Golf Course in Thompson Falls, Montana, is laid out so that play returns to the clubhouse every third hole, making short rounds easy to arrange. Trees line every hole, and the second runs alongside the Clark Fork River.
The fourth is a demanding par 4, with the men's tees set atop a hill and the drive playing down through a corridor of trees. The sixth is known for "Igor," a dropoff to the right of the fairway that regularly claims golf balls.
