River Bend Golf Club
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.

Course was fun not much water for being named river bend. Good price and not too crowded. Staff was very friendly.
Great course
Only down fall about this course is they really need to do something about there golf carts. They aways giving out dead carts and buy second hole you are pushing and waiting 15 mins for them to get you a new one that sometimes dies within a few holes again.
They are limited on carts and the ones they have barely keep a charge for 18 holes. Course was in great winter shape especially the greens.
Fairly good course
I like the course, fairly good greens. It's convenient for me and not that crowded.
Pleasant surprise
Fun course. Played it 2x because we enjoyed it. Nice psce of play and other golfers were curtious
Great day out
Course is in great shape, and had a blast playing. The only negative is there are houses everwhere!everywhere!! So being nervous I would hit one definitely got in my head. I live near by so I am sure I will play it a lot. Bring snacks, not much to pick from at the club house.
