Riverbend Golf Community Wins 2026 Best Of London Golf Award by Jeffrey Reed This past January, LondonOntarioGolf.com—the Voice of Golf in Southwestern Ontario—chose RiverBend Golf Community as the winner of the 2026 Best of London Golf Award, selected by the LondonOntarioGolf.com editorial team. For 13 years, the highly successful Best of London Golf Awards took the form of a readers’ choice poll honouring numerous golf industry sectors. This year, and moving forward, the Best of London Golf Award focuses on one Southwestern Ontario golf club for its outstanding customer service and golf amenities. When Sifton Properties’ RiverBend Golf Community opened its 18- hole, Doug Carrick-designed golf course in 2002, it did with much deserved fanfare. Today, with its combination of community luxury homes and a championship golf course, beautiful Kains Woods, and many first-rate course and clubhouse amenities, the River - Bend gated golf community remains unique to this part of Canada. “The RiverBend Golf Community is the perfect choice as winner of the 2026 Best of London Golf Award,” says LondonOntario - Golf.com publisher and editor Jeffrey Reed. “As a golf journalist who has written and talked about the industry since 1980, I say without hesitation that RiverBend offers some of the finest golf amenities and all-around customer service anywhere in Cana- da. The RiverBend community has become an important part of our local golf fabric, and it’s one of the reasons London is the Golf Capital of Canada.” Your Perfect Match awaits you at The London Animal Care Centre and The Catty Shack!
