Great day
Overseed and cart path only, nobodies favorite. But course looks good. Had fun, staff was great!
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u081715106. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Riverwalk Golf Club!
Fair course at best
Paid $59.00 online only to find out when checking in they want $20.00 extra per person more to take a cart (in small print on course description). All fairways were roped off due to over-seeding. $79.00 on a weekday to play this course is way to expensive. Not a very good deal .

Terrible Shape
Course is in really bad shape. Paid $59+ $20 per person for a cart. They don’t have GPS on the carts anymore. Tee boxes were so bad and several holes the tee boxes were way up and at the ladies tees. Course was several hundred yards shorter. Fairways were terrible. Greens were ok but very very slow. Overall not worth the money at all. Conditions were worst I’ve played at in SD in last 6 months. Waste of money.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Riverwalk Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Could be great but it isn't
This course is always over booked and plays terribly slow and kept it moderate shape. Also the course was playing so slow we were able to keep pace playing as a seven some.

Cost for money
Overall, the golf course was in good condition. But the fairway grass wasn't good. But I was satisfied in terms of cost performance

Enjoyable course
I play here about once a month, and I really enjoy Riverwalk. There are several very memorable holes(#3 for all the right reasons, #9 for the approach, #14 for the challenge) and the conditions are generally good given the lack of rain. On course staff and the beverage cart staff are very friendly. The price isn’t a great deal compared to some other courses, but the location in the middle of it all offsets that somewhat. Worth a look too see if it’s a course you’d enjoy.

Not worth the greens fees
The course is in really bad shape yet they want to start almost $70 for $18 and a cart. Per person. Where do you get off? Driving range doesn’t even have grass, it’s just a field of dirt... not that it really matters but come on. $10 for a bucket of 50 balls and this is the conditions they maintain? Unfortunate it’s in the condition that it is and costs what it does, a really conveniently located course otherwise.

Too much water on course!
Over watering of the course made it sloppy. Other than than that, course was good. Greens rolled better than average.

Great Golf Now Deal
We really enjoyed the variety of Hole Layouts. Fairways sometimes inconsistent. A few very challenging hits over water but not undoable for me as an ametuer. I would revisit this course.

Course conditions calls for cheaper green fees
Pros:
- Central SD
- moderately challenging
- not busy (weekday morning)
- staff was friendly and helpful
- walkable
Cons:
- conditions were poor — several areas where it was very slushy, large repair areas, leaves looked like they hadn’t been raked in days (making is very difficult to locate the ball), and during play some of the greens literally where the pin is was being watered by staff literally before were a few shots away.
- some holes had obnoxiously large bunkers that actually stretched a good amount of the fairway.
- the cost for this course was not fair for this type of course - subpar conditions, midweek with no cart. If it were $15 cheaper I’d say that’s about right.
- somewhat boring; not much elevation and most of the holes tend to seem the same. No signature hole that is memorable
