RIVER BEND GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB (1991)

 

SHASTA CASCADE REGION

Members only - 9 hole

5369 Indianwood Drive, Redding, CA 96001

Tel: (530) 246-9077

 

Designed by Bill Ralston. The smart player will never take the head cover off the driver. With trees, the Sacramento River slough, and water coming into play, there is little room for error off the tee. If you can navigate the fairways, the greens are medium sized with very subtle breaks and will reward a good putt. Reciprocal play with other member-only clubs is allowed. From within Redding: Off I-5, take the South Bonnyview Road/Churn Creek exit and head west. Turn right on Indianwood Drive.
