History

TPC River's Bend is a private championship golf club located on a hillside overlooking the historic Little Miami River in Maineville, Ohio, approximately 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati. The Arnold Palmer–designed course opened in 2001 and was immediately recognized by Golf Digest as one of the 'Top 10 Best New Private Clubs in the U.S.' Palmer's team carefully crafted the par-72, 7,180-yard layout to blend harmoniously with the hillside terrain and natural river valley landscape, creating a course of dramatic elevation changes and scenic beauty rarely found in the Ohio River watershed. The course hosted the Kroger Classic on the PGA Tour Champions between 2002 and 2004. TPC River's Bend was acquired by Arcis Golf in 2022 and continues to operate as a licensed TPC Network property, maintaining the brand's high standards of conditioning and service. Golf Digest consistently recognized the course as among the 'Best in Ohio' from 2005 through 2016.
