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.

100 mile drive for this!
Drove 50 miles one way 2nd weekend in a row for this course. Really loved it again.
Top course in my 4 years in San Antonio.
Loved everything about my initial round at River Bend. I will return often and with friends. Wow.
Great experience
As always, the staff was extremely accommodating, and the greens were in amazing shape.
Nice countryside course
The course was nicely layed out with some requiring some great ball placement or you would be looking for a plane B. The greens were in Excellent shape but could have been mowed to improve speed but it in the winter time.
Nice course
First time playing, as we were looking for a last minute tee time. Also first time using golf now app to book a tee time. Stumbled on a great deal for only $10/each for a 11:40 am tee time. I have never played golf for that cheap, so I wasn't expecting much. Course in good shape, although wet due to over seeding. Plenty of hard pan in the off spots, but great layout, in marginal new neighborhood. Pace was slow, but gave my gf plenty of time, as she is a slow player. Would definitely go back, for something lower than the rack rate.
No problem with golf now tee time when we arrived, front desk guy was nice
Hidden Gem
What a fun course. Worth the trip. I have played here often and have enjoyed most rounds. Pace of play is usually quick and golfers normally let you play through. Good lunch grill next door for burgers and beers. Recommend you give it a try.
Greens were slowwwww
The greens had more shag then a 1970’s van. Had to take full swings on 30’ putts. Fairways are hard clay with some grass. Bunkers were getting worked on so that’s good. Course is a great layout with the perfect mix of scoring holes and tough challenging holes. They should of NEVER overseeded the greens. Keep them dormit and quick!!!
Challenging Course Good Value Nice Diner
Have played this course many times and enjoyed it most of those times. Course is in good shape and a good value during the week. Good burger at the diner. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful Golf Course
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf at Riverbend golf course. The staff was extremely friendly, and the golf conditions were excellent!
The 15th hole is the signature hole on the golf course is far as I am concerned. 555 yard par five dogleg left, A very beautiful hole from T to green.
We are looking forward to our next round there again soon.
Riverbend review
I hadn't been to this course in a few years. My previous experience left me a little put off with the staff and the poor course conditions. However, this past trip was almost excellent. The course is under new management, or at least a different staff, and with the exception of the bunkers (which were under repair) it was an extremely enjoyable trip. Glad I went and extremely excited that they are trying to improve the condition of the bunkers and the course overall. I'm already planning to go back next weekend.
Cheers!
Great Course
This course is probably fairly easy for the better golfer. It was in good condition and I would definitely play again. Staff were very friendly and professional.
Bad Shape
This is the worst I have ever seen this course. Green were decent (very slow) everything else sucked. Weeds everywhere, grass clippings all over the fairways, very neglected course. I only paid $140 for 18 holes with a cart and felt dissapointed.
Great course and great staff
Awesome course for the money would recommend to anyone.
Greens in great shape
Overall, the course is in great shape. The greens are excellent. The only problem is that the fairways don't have enough grass. Too many tight lies. It will give you an opportunity to work on your punch shots.
