Riverside Golf Course in San Antonio offers an eighteen-hole municipal round south of downtown. This listing covers the regulation course, rather than the separate Teddy Bear par-3 layout at the same facility. It is also distinct from the Riverside course in Austin, so confirm the city and address when planning your visit.
The San Antonio River separates the front and back nines. The two sides developed in different periods and offer contrasting settings: the front nine is more tree-lined, while the back is more open. That change gives the round variety and rewards golfers who adjust their targets instead of using the same approach on every hole.
On the wooded side, prioritize a position that leaves a clear next shot. A drive that finishes a little shorter but away from trees can offer more options than one that travels farther into trouble. When the routing opens up, keep the same attention to landing areas and approach distances. More visible space does not remove the value of a plan.
Riverside’s history reaches back to a front nine opened in 1929, and the grounds are associated with Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders training in 1898. The course has also undergone substantial modern renovation. Those layers of history make a visit interesting, while the current scorecard and staff instructions should guide how you play the course today.
The facility is located at 203 McDonald in San Antonio. Select the championship or eighteen-hole course through the Alamo City Golf Trail booking system, and confirm current fees, carts, rentals, and course notices. Warmup facilities include hitting nets rather than a full driving range, so plan your preparation accordingly. Arrive with time to check in and locate the correct first tee. Bring water, respect the riverside surroundings, and keep a steady pace. Riverside offers a public golf outing with two distinct nines and a strong connection to San Antonio history.
