Testimonials

Our Sifton story began in 1993 with the purchase of our 1st of 4 Sifton homes in Westmount. With 4 active sons a well-built home in a family friendly community was a must. We enjoyed neighbourhood fires, BBQ’s, ice rinks, road hockey and more.  But after 15 years, in 2008 we decided to build home in Sifton’s Fanshawe Ridge. Our family was the 3rd in and we helped to build a community of close knit neighbours again.  In 2009, we built a 2nd home in Fanshawe Ridge for grandpa who relocated from Peterborough. Both homes were much loved and in 2020 as empty nesters we decided to try Lake Huron life. After 1 year we found that our family was quickly growing from 3 grandkids to 9 so we decided to return to London. The decision of who to build with was easy, Sifton had supported our family since 1993 allowing us to already experience their quality design and support. The bonus of a safe, gated community had us sold at first visit. Sifton doesn’t just build homes they build communities which is what we love so much.  RiverBend Golf Community allowed us to design a beautiful home to fit our needs, our passion for community, a place to bring our family, friends, and oh yah GOLF! When we take any of our 9 grandkids for a golf cart ride, they always comment on how friendly everyone is, they love waving to folks, and they love to experience the many advantages like the trails and fountains. The Sifton support in RiverBend is outstanding.  This is truly our Sifton forever home.

Our first year has passed in a blur of activity, and our only regret is that we didn’t know about RiverBend 10 years sooner.  Barry and I would especially like to thank you and your entire staff for the friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism you have shown.  From the grounds crews to the pro shop, to the clubhouse, everyone has been outstanding in their roles.  We are experienced enough to know that this performance excellence has to be a standard set and monitored by those in charge so our appreciation as well  goes out to you and your department heads.

Please accept our sincere appreciation for the outstanding work you and your staff accomplished in preparing for and hosting our marriage celebration. From the moment you welcomed us to the Club, to helping us create a menu, and suggestions how the evening could proceed, we knew we were in for a great experience. We certainly hoped for a special evening to celebrate our marriage. You and the staff have provided us special memories of an evening we will remember forever.

I just returned from the RiverBend member guest - I think this was my third year playing in the event - again, I truly enjoyed the experience.
 
I am a little "long in the tooth" now and during my travels I have had the pleasure of visiting a number of high end courses (Royal Montreal, Magna, Ancaster to mention a couple) - I can honestly say I would rate Riverbend right up there.
 
While I have always been impressed with the golf course and the staff in general it would appear both seems to have been taken to another level this year - from the staff in the back shop to the pro shop through to the clubhouse staff - a number of adjectives come to mind - knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. 
 
I firmly believe this does not happen by accident - it is management playing very close attention to the operations they are responsible for - Simon, you and your management staff (Tyler/course super/clubhouse manager) should be exceeding proud of the product you offer - it was my very great pleasure to experience it this past week.
 
Sincerely,
