River Bend Golf Club

Detailed description of River Bend Golf Club

River Bend Golf Club, previously named Maverick Golf Club is a Semi-Private 18-hole golf course located in Floresville, Texas, about 33 miles southeast of downtown San Antonio

The River Bend Golf Course opened for play in 2006. The course was designed by Larry Hawkins.

The River Bend Golf Course is a links-style layout on the front nine and a more undulating design on the back. The course 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.

River Bend Golf Club is a 7,030 yard layout (from the tips) with a slope rating of 72.8. They have 5 sets of tees to challenge varying skill levels. The course has some elevation changes, so it is not just a flat pasture with grass on it. The fairways are generous, but if you get off them, you could be up to your waist in native grasses / trees. The rough, what rough there is, is not penal at all and should not pose a problem. The greens are somewhat large and typically have some slope to them. The green speeds typically sit somewhere between 7-9 on the Stimp.
