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.

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.

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.

Great Course!

Fair warning - this is only the second Texas course I’ve played. I just moved from South Carolina where I played rather frequently, and I must say I am in love with this course. Interesting layout, thoughtful multi-level greens, and great condition!

If I could suggest one improvement: upgrade the tee box markers from painted bricks to something more fitting for such a nice course!

Nice out-of-the-city course

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Some of the greens were due for a trimming; a little fuzzy. Pace of play was very good. Would recommend to any of my golfing buddies.

Fun Course

I enjoyed the course immensely. Some short holes and very wide fairways. Greens can be slow when you're left with long uphill putts. You may 3 putt more often than usual. Greens are large so putting the ball on the proper side of the green is paramount. I hit it long since the fairways were running. Big issue was the bare spots around the greens, especially right up in front on short approaches. Mishit sand wedges cost me a cpuple of shots due to bare lies. I think it may be due to too much cart traffic greenside, or lack of water. Nice track though. I really enjoyed playing here.

Course in good shape

I really enjoy playing this course. The greens are big and are in great shape right now. Be prepared to have some tight lies in the fairways. Pace of play is good and the staff is friendly.

An Up and Comer

Played early morning. Wildlife everywhere...saw hawks, a giant flock of turkeys, and several deer. Pro shop attendant could not have been any nicer and informative. Bunkers full of sand (could tell they have been recently redone) and greens were immaculate. Some minor hardpan in edges but fairways well maintained. Overall a very fun course for the money.

Riverbend is Back!

Has been a few months since I've played Riverbend and the improvements are very impressive! They were in the process of re-doing all the sand traps the last time I played and the results are outstanding! The greens were slow but smooth and the over seeding was very nicely done on all the greens and driving range. Young man at the clubhouse was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the Golf Now program. We had a great round and a great lunch at their Lou's Patio Grill. Only suggestion would be for the course to use the overseed used on the far end of the driving range (they seeded the entire range) be used for at least 3-4 fairway landing areas, which are already getting kinda hard to hit off. Outside of that, it was a great day of golf and food at Riverbend!
