Hi, JPenoli0Flip. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Riverwalk Golf Club!
Riverwalk is way underrated
Riverwalk was a pleasure today. From all the courses I've played on golfnow, it is by far the most underrated. Yes they charge extra for the cart (VERY walkable course), the fairways are a little rough in spots (lift, clean and place approved) and I admit the tee boxes are pretty beat up (isn't that what tees are for). But the layout is real nice, close to championship quality, and the greens were just pristine today. Rolled in two 30' putts even. Since the course is a little overlooked, it's mainly regulars so I found the pace of play and friendliness of the people to be superb. Was matched with a regular player and we just had a heck of a time! 7am tee time, twosome following a couple groups and we still played in 3+30. I'm super glad I found this place and will gladly come back when visiting San Diego. Thank you Riverwalk for a real nice "river walk!"
Thank you for your review, DJSlider. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Riverwalk Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Tee time was about 8am. Course was very wet. Tee boxes in horrible condition.
Making one person prepay for the foursome is inconvenient! If all players pay cart fees in person why can't we pay course fees in person?

Expensive Carts
Signed up for the walking rate for $41 a person with two people playing ($82). Decided to get a cart and was charged $40 for a cart; $20 a person in the same cart! I have never paid that much for a cart. The Starter tried to justify the cost by saying Torrey Pines charges $20 a person for a cart. I laughed.
Thank you for taking the time to review us James2175888. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Riverwalk Golf Club thanks you!
IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY!
10:40 tee time on a Saturday... it took 7 HOURS TO FINISH MY ROUND! NEVER AGAIN! $20 for a drive cart rental if you choose not/or can't walk - Ridiculous!. $$$ WAY OVER PRICED for what the course is... it might have history, but it's not worth it anymore. As one other golfers review says 'I kept looking for goats!' IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY!
Hello, Vincent2702123. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Riverwalk Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Cart Fee
I feel $20 cart fee is excess. Now you into the course $70. This is not a $70 course
Great Course but getting EXPENSIVE
Great course - one of the best within the city limits. Used to play here for $40-$50 WITH cart. Charging $20 a cart is a bit outrageous but the standard these days it seems like.
Absolutely love playing here and will continue to pay the higher price but would play more if it came back down a bit and honestly my ONLY critique.
Such a shame this course will be gone in a few years.
Wow - Thank you for the five star review! We are happy to have exceeded your expectations. We love hearing from you and are glad you had a great experience. We look forward to having you back again soon!
Thank you for leaving 4 stars! We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can wow you on your next visit.
Overpriced
The on line rate is $41.00 but when you arrive they want $20 per person for the cart. Big rip off. $40 per cart and then half the course is under ground repair.

Riverwalk
Fun course, fairways pretty forgiving, I’m usually the worst in the group and I had a decent day!

Above Average
Booked the tee time almost a week in advance. Pre paid all fees. The site does not say that cart is not included. The site should give an option to purchase a cart fee or not when booking.
