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.

Good conditions
Fairways and greens were in quite good condition considering the drought the area has been experiencing. Seems to be well watered.
Fairway conditions
The fairways need a little love, the greens were absolutely beautiful, the bunkers were well taken care of. Just need to show a little love to the tee boxes and fairways and it's perfect. Nice quiet spot not to busy and the course does provide some challenges.
Worth the amount you pay
Course greens were the best I’ve seen in a decade. It’s very much worth what you pay for a enjoyable round.
Fast and challenging
Highlight of the course was the fast and accurate greens, fairways were a bit hard which added to the challenges of the day. Overall great shape and we had a great time.
Fast and fun
Fairways and greens are in good shape despite winter conditions. Staff was nice. Highlight of the course were the fast and fun greens.
Had a good round
The fairways were mostly dry/brown, but will be great as the days go by. The greens were fast and took a few holes to master! We played with a couple gentlemen that made our round enjoyable. Had dinner at Lew’s afterward. All in all, we had a great day.
Good greens
The fairways are hard but the greens are nice and seems like a nice course for the price.
Great Course and People
Course was in good condition with, tees and fairways were solid. People on course were friendly and staff was great. Recommend this course.
Course is under reair
It will be nice when it’s done but it was frustrating not knowing where to go for some of the holes. The fairways are being irrigated so they are not so great. Tee boxes and greens are fine. Staff was great and a pretty good restaurant on property.
