About
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.

Thinkers Course!
Great Staff, Course In Enjoyable Condition. Course layout evens the playing field. You’ll definitely have to play with your Brain vs Muscle. Certain holes force you to finesse your way to the pin. Practice your Irons before challenging River Bend In Floresville Texas!
Too bad.......
Third time playing the course. Staff very friendly and good value for what you get. TOO BAD the courseis not in better shape. I like the layout with some long par 4s and reachable par 5s it has so.e risk reward opportunities. Greens were in decent ahape and held balls well and rolled good. Thats the good..... Tee boxes and fairways were atrocious. Bring a hammer to get tees i. The grou d and good luck finding good grass on the fairways. Again, TOO BAD. This could be a nice road trip course for many in SA but not qorth the drive.
Thw course that could be
Played sunday. Staff was very friendly and price was great. (One of the reasons we made the drive). Th as for the course, the greens held balls well and putted true . The ourse layout is nice and with a lot of attention ould turn into a very enjoyable track. Today tee boxes and fairways were hard burnt and full of dead spots and weeds. Too bad, as the layout sets up for some fun holes.
Poor Grounds
Haven’t played this course over 4 years and WOW embarrassing to our community. Hitting ur irons off cement practically. Greens were best on course. Needs major improvement.
Expected much better
Big patches of weeds in the middle of the fairways caused me to lose more balls ever on decent shots. You expect to lose them when hit into water, woods or deep rough but not on the fairways. Sometimes you needed a hammer to get a tee into the hard ground at the tee boxes. This could be a much nicer course if it was maintained better, but not worth the drive out from San Antonio in my opinion, even at the low price I paid.
Haven’t played in a while but this is the worse I have seen the course, The tee boxes where horrible including the fairways. The greens looked good but that’s about it
A nice place to play
A quiet course about 25 miles south of San Antonio, Texas. Very friendly staff. Clean facilities.
Fun course
We’ve always loved playing here. The course is very “clean”, and we know it will get better with some spring rain and sunshine.
March Golf
Golf Now Hot Deal for $10 - played round in 2.5 hrs. Great value for the investment. Fairways don’t exist and greens are slow.
Greens were nice.
They did not over seed the fairways. Consequently, weeds are growing in. Fiarways are hard. Greens were in very good condition. The Bermuda was starting to come out.
Great and awesome experience
‘‘Twas a great course. Awesome experience with great greens and fairways perfectly maintained. Although the cart path was a bit rough, that is an easy fix but altogether was a great course
GolfNow Dream
GN price $10 - was first off (single) and played 18 holes in 2 hours. Course conditions were so-so but remember it’s still January. Greens are in fantastic shape.
Day in Floresville
Enjoyed the layout of the course, just enough rough to make you drive smart, hazards were well maintained and not too hard.
Had a steady wind all day which helped keep mosquitoes away, will definitely plan another day trip here.
Overpriced
As you pull up it may seem like you’re getting a great experience but don’t be deceived. The course was absolutely terrible, the greens were over grown as well as the tee boxes. The fairways are terrible and unwatered, there was damage to a lot of the course. This is your basic hack around and get drunk with your friends kind of course. Definitely not worth $32, this course is at best a $12 round course.
