River Tasalmi Golf Course, previously named River Bend Golf & Country Club, is a Semi-Private, 9 hole golf course located in Redding, California. River Bend Golf and Country Club has been purchased by the Redding Rancheria and has been branded with its new name,"River Tasalmi."
River Bend Golf Club is right in town along the Sacramento River just south and across from Riverview Golf & Country Club. River Bend is a short and level par 32, nine hole course.
The "Biggest Little Country club in the North State" is perched on a scenic bend where the Sacramento River flows through Redding on its long journey to San Francisco Bay. The course is a 9 hole executive style golf course with 2,148 yards(blue tees) play easily to 18 and 4,104 yards at par 64. With four par 3 holes, as well as a five relatively short par 4 holes, hazards, large trees, and a small fast green's its a very enjoyable challenge course.
The conditions are generally good, club amenities include tennis, restaurant with catering, pro shop, and a netted area for warming up.
Plenty of room on some shots and very tight on others, you find the large trees create an obstacle.
This club is a shot makers dream with tight fairways and small greens. The eight and ninth holes are particularly interesting. Eight is a par 4 with a very tight area around the green water left and OB right. The ninth hole is a par three with a dramatic shot that must carry water to a well-protected green with large trees on each side.
