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.

River Bend GC San Antonio

Nice little course. A little crowded on a Saturday morning, but still enjoyable. Just be prepared to be patient waiting on a T box.

Dead grass

Every single fairway was rock hard. Dirt fairways everywhere. Hard to find your ball even when you hit it in the fairway. Greens were actually nice looking, but they were sanded and also rock hard. Not receptive greens. Luckily I got a hot deal to play here because I certainly would not pay regular fees to play here again.

Greens in Bad Shape

We were expecting the course to be in a lot better shape after the rain recently, but the greens were some of the worst in the San Antonio area. There were vehicle track marks on most of the greens and fairways were pretty rough overall. Probably won't be back for a while.

Golf course closed

I drove from over an hour away after booking only to find out the course closed to the public because of a tournament. The driving range was also closed.
