Ssssssssslow…
If you plan on playing at noon or later in the day, be ready for the pace to be slow. Five hours to finish was way too long. Luckily we got to finish, so be prepared to not complete the round.

Fun Course to Play
We enjoyed our round of golf at RiverWalk and will play there again during our 2 month stay in San Diego. The staff was friendly and the starter was organized and vigilant at getting people out at their assigned times. The course is not long, but fun to play. Several of the holes have water hazards. The greens are in great condition and provided many challenging putts on their sloped surfaces. We recommend this course for a fun afternoon of golf!!

Definitely a River Course
After all the rain we had there was a lot of water in the fairways. Many drives in the fairway were always laying in a puddle. Pace of play was extremely slow. Waited on every hole.
