Friars/Presidio at Riverwalk Golf Club

The course is under construction and four holes move up. In addition surprise had to pay additional for the cart.

Always enjoy this track and course is in decent shape. Just some weird maintenance going on with the tea boxes and some water lines. Just be prepared but still have a good time. Some of the back teaser moved up.

Played this course about 10 years ago was in phenomenal shape back then, nice fairways and greens back when i played. So disappointed this time around , fairways we’re beat up greens we’re beat up I will not be playing here again nor would I recommend it to anyone so sad to see the way the course conditions went.

This course for years was one of the nicest courses in San Diego. I don’t know what happened but it has turned into one of the worst if not the worst courses in San Diego! The staff is awful and there still charging full price to hit from the ladies tees and rarely hit off grass in the fairways, also the only bunkers they take care of are the ones you can see from the street! Very sad what’s happened to this once beautiful place to play.

The starter was not very concerned with the pace of play or about the threesome of young men teeing off in jeans and t shirts hitting from the back tees that were unable to clear the gulch on the opening tee box. Because of this, we needed up skipping TWO groups moving at an unbelievable slow pace at the third hole. The starter was waiting for both groups on the 4th tee box and apologized to us for the lack of pace consideration at the start.

The course was also under construction and we were not given a warning of that at any point. There were two different holes with greens moved on to the fairway, leaving it a hole unable to truly score. That added to the missed hole because we had to skip two groups left us with three holes less than what we paid for. The course was in ok shape and I am excited to see how it plays once construction is done, but sadly all of golf is a below average in comparison to what you have to pay these days. I only play this course when it’s on a hot deal.

Sad to see this course be let go; shell of what it used to be. I would not recommend this golf course at this point.

There were a few greens and a few areas of the course that were pretty sandy and dry. Could use some work but we are headed into the winter months so hopefully that will happen now. Like the course overall would go back.

Riverwalk is overpriced most of the time. So, when I saw a walking rate of $50 I was intrigued. They disclosed that #11 was closed. No problem I thought, I often have trouble with that hole. What they did not disclose was that 2 tees were moved, one of them WAY up, making a fun/challenging par 4 into a ho hum par 3. Several fairways were roped off entirely. Not a problem if you walk, but made for a pain as I opted for a cart. Several fairways were being aerated/torn up. All of this was NOT disclosed. So I felt pretty cheated over all, especially when there was no signage to say “hey sorry our course is such a s}€}hole” . My advice would be, play at your own risk!

The course is in good shape and fun to play. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I wish there were more/better yard markers.

Condition of course is very poor. We quite play after 15th.

Course was in terrible condition and pace of play was absolutely horrible. There were several temporary greens on par threes and temporary tee boxes on several holes which the pro shop said nothing about when checking in. Waited for 10-15 minutes on several holes. No Marshall to enforce pace of play. Lots of dirt patches on fairways. By far the worst conditions of any course in San Diego. Do Not play here.

Most of the fairways are under repair the greens need major repairs weeds bare dirt. Holes are not marked correctly Basically it is a mess.

For a Hot Deal you really can't go wrong and my expectations at Riverwalk are always low for cobdition of the course and pace of play. No mention of the extreme amount of couse maintenance happening right now so that might have been nice, but the greens are pretty awesome. Tee boxes are beat. Fairways mostly bare or trying to be overseeded. BTW, pretty much cart path only. And a couple of greens were not so awesome (see pics). I want to love this course because of it's great location and its cool topography but it rarely delivers. Go for the deal or if in SD from out of town for the locale.

If you want to play at Riverwalk, I would suggest you to wait few more months as they are working hard to improve the condition including some greens as some men have been working on them. Carts are not allowed on fairways. So hopefully when I return it will be in a better shape.
