River Bend Golf Club combines some of the most unique play in the area with a course designed to provide an exciting golfing experience for players of all levels. Beautiful oak trees and meandering streams give the golf course its character, with elevation changes, multi-tiered greens and challenging areas of forced carry-including water features-and areas of forced lay-up in a links-style course, especially on the front 9.  The back 9 is a more traditional golf course. All of this combined with the Texas wind makes River Bend a formidable challenge for even scratch golfers.  It's one of the only only true links courses in south Texas. The staff is super and the course is very affordable.  River Bend Golf Club has a unique practice facility that features an aqua range with an island green.  A large putting green makes the Maverick a super practice area.

Distance: About 33 miles southeast of downtown San Antonio and worth the trip.  Take Rt 181 from the Southeast side of San Antonio. Located off the 181 business loop (4th street here in the city), coming north or south off Highway 181.  The loop runs north and south, like Highway 181, and runs about 1/2 mile west of it.  The course and facilities are located in the Avalon Subdivision.

Weekend Golfer

Fairways and tee boxes need mowing. Greens are full of some kind of blight that are killing the greens.

A course marshal would be helpful on the weekends to help keep up the pace of play if the course continues to allow groups of five and six to play together.

The staff members were very helpful pleasant to the customers.

Great course that just needs care.

The course is located in Floresville and it's quite nice. Though not a pristine course it is very good for the price. The staff is always friendly and the carts are in good condition. The course is well maintained and looking great.

It’s a fun place to hit the golf ball; hopefully, the maintenance of the course continues to improve.

Greens Very Bumpy, many Tee Boxes overgrown with weeds

Played here many times; typically a good value. This time the course conditions were sub-par. Tee boxes overgrown with weeds, greens very uneven. Pin positions today were ridiculous, like it was Sunday at US Open.

I may return once players say the course conditions have improved..
