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.

River Bend
Course is in worse shape than last year. The greens are very patchy and bumpy.
Fire ants everywhere. Needs to be treated.
Love the layout but the rough needs to be shortened. I am not the best player for sure but hate losing balls that I know were just off the fairway.
Good course! Always working to improve
They people were really friendly and helpful. They have upgraded to new carts and are always working to improve the course itself.
good course great price
not heavy traffic got to work on my game, enjoyed being out there
Sweet course
Had a killer round. Hole layouts were pretty dope. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Driving range was cool as well! Would definitely go back!
Tee time golf doesn’t tell you the greens were sanded and punched holes. They just want the money, couldn’t care about customer
Not in good condition
The “fairways” were pretty bare; greens not in good shape. Pace was good until the 5th hole when a twosome joined a threesome in front of us that must’ve been playing for money-taking forever putting, had to go around them on 11 after waiting on every hole since 6! Pro shop had 1 hot dog to sell at 2PM-she said it would take 25 minutes for another, but even after the round, no hot dogs after asking her to make more for later! Started out having to change golf carts-given one with a flat tire!
Wide open
Wide open fairways, some very long par fours, course is in reasonable condition for this time of year. Great place to warm up and hit balls - a unique island green. Nice place for a drink on the 19th hole. Excellent value course for the money!
