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.

Nice layout

This course is a great layout and a great value. I enjoyed the pace of play and greens. Only complaint would be the fairways dont have much grass so they come off a little tight.

Great course for the price and stil challenging

The course offers wide fairways that entice you to go for it but be carefull, the bunkers and links type rough can get you in trouble.

The course has nice layout.

The course was nice but staff seemed a little rude or preoccupied. It would have been nice to have a layout of the holes on the scorecard or posted around the course. It is hard to manage the course if you cannot determine the safe spots to hit to, but great course and challenging.

Good Course for the Money

Have played course multiple times. Very demanding on several holes. Great for a long driver. Enough sand traps and water hazards to keep the average golfer alert. Overall, a good course for the money.

Totally worth the drive from San Antonio

Very good golf course design, some easy-ish holes and some demanding holes. I like a golf course where the holes stand apart from each other, each hole different in design from the others. This course has 18 unique holes and is fun to play. I'll repeat that, this is a fun course to play. Isn't that the point? I played there for the first time 2 years ago and the conditions were pretty burnt out but we were in the middle of a drought. This year, vastly improved and the greens are very good. This course is kind of a "sleeper" in the San Antonio area, it shouldn't be. Go play it, you'll thank me.
