9th Hole Mission Photo submitted by canyonman59 on 12/06/2012
Really poor!
The quality of this course is so bad when seeing here that it’s rated at 3.5 stars.
The fairway has more dirt than grass;
The greens are the worst I’ve ever seen;
Hard to find a nice tee box.
It’s crazy how much they charge considering what is offered to the players!
I’ve played here for about 7 years so far. So bad how things have changed.
Overpriced and not a good golf experience. Better look else where.
Challenging course
This facility is a great facility for driving and mid-range shots. Most of the grains are very very patchy. Makes putting very difficult. I found this mainly on the back side nine. The overall hazards and obstacles make this a very fun course. You need to have very good accuracy on the back nine and on the front three. The arification was minimal and affected the ball minimally. I'm sure as the season continues here in San Diego that the greens will get a lot better as well as the fairways.
Good Layout
Always enjoy playing Riverwalk. First time there since the Friars 9 closed. Like the layout Greens have recovered nicely from the recent punch. Fairways were a little patchy.
Will play again.
COURSE IS A BOG
Wet and slow and not in a good way.. I’m the idiot for thinking I can go play an afternoon round here and see remotely decent pace of play. Stay home, no golf is better. Really should have known better lol
Really Enjoy This Course
I live local and this is a great track for us SD proper folks. Especially when I find a deal. I just enjoy the heck out of walking the course. Sometimes you get stuck behind a novice playing like he's Rory and taking his time, but not too bad otherwise. Wish they'd speed folks like that up. However, summer got hot and affected a lot of courses and once we got a little moisture, this greened right up. Nothing bad to say here, fun course. Hole 3 is cool.
A Massive Downturn…sad.
I used to play this course a lot over the past 15+ years. It’s demise saddens me. It’s such a great, central location that could command top dollar for tourists to play. I realize the greens were recently punched, but that’s not the worst part of the course, by far. The overall conditions were sub-par, goat farm-like. Perhaps some entity with some scratch could appear and fix it up. Phil?
Horrible condition
Sadly this will be the last time playing Riverwalk GC. Was hoping for better course conditions than the last time played, approx two months again. The course is pretty much unplayable! Save your money….The course is in worst shape than any other one in San Diego!
Find a different course to play!
Just OK
I gave this course a shot after playing a couple of private courses in area. Nice layout, but I was disappointed the greens had been punched two weeks prior without notice in GN,
The fairways were inn terrible shape and often found the lies to be on bald or dead grass.
I enjoyed the layout and feel the course had tremendous potential if they get the maintenance right
Aerification alert!
The greens just had extreme aerification, no joke it was like putting on the beach for every green and basically unplayable!
There was no warning about this when I booked through Golf Now, pretty disappointing as I do like this course.
Not too shabby
This course was in better shape than I expected. Greens were good, fairways were good, bunkers were good. It did just rain a few days prior, I'm sure that helped green it up a bit.
Only problems were, grounds keepers were moving fairways while I was playing at 4pm-6pm, and the 14th hole's green was covered in sand.
