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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

July 2020 - Great early bird round

Fun times, course in great shape. Green everywhere. A bit pricy ($20 for a golf cart) but that seems to be a common theme since golf opened back up in San Diego. Especially weekend golf. Will be back.

Fun course in San Diego

I play this course 4 times per month, the fairways are in decent shape, but the greens were very bumpy, in the past the Greens are the highlight of this course.,Definitely they need to pay more attention to the greens, because honestly this is the main reason I play this course,
