Friars/Presidio at Riverwalk Golf Club

This is my third time playing the course and I was very disappointed in it. Especially after being under lockdown for all those months you would expect a course that wants to be with the big dogs to be in perfect condition. But in fact it’s in horrible condition the fairways have brown spots all over with dead grass and ground under repair. Seriously this course needs to look at the grounds keeper and look into a different one he’s not doing a good job. Then to top it off when there’s no water on the course the cart girls are nowhere to be found the service is awful! If you pay more then $25 bucks for this course you payed way to much.

So there are many golf courses once again open in San Diego. Riverwalk I will say is in it's best condition overall minus the punched greens with nickel sized holes and if you've played here before then you know that it's typically a goat ranch. That said, they waited all this time during the lockdown to punch the greens with huge holes making it impossible to putt. What were you doing for the last two months? Then on top of that they put the cups raised up above the hole so that you just need to bounce the ball off the cup. Really stupid and it's not even golf. Makes it pointless to keep score because it's too easy to bounce it off the cup. This is just a hysteria rule. No other clubs are doing this that have reopened. I won't be playing here again as long as they have the cups raised. Seriously guys, other clubs are putting the cups in upside down so that the flag is in and the cup is only about as deep as the ball, or they are putting a piece of PVC pipe around the flag in the hole to prevent the ball from going in deep. Easy to retrieve your ball either way and you don't need to touch the flag. On top of that, other clubs are allowing you to use a cart, but not Riverwalk. Quit with the stupid rules born out of hysteria. Shot of someone coughing on you, you are at almost zero risk of getting CV outdoors and we all know how to wash our hands after/during play. Taking out all the garbage cans is also pointless. I can't drop an empty water bottle in the trash without risking my life? Stupid. But they have trash cans around the parking lot. Make up your mind, is it hazardous to our health to use a garbage can or not. Of course not. This course will lose revenue if they keep the stupid raised cup rule.

Course played well. Perhaps cart person more frequently. Also the sand traps are a little too hard. Need more sand.

Boy, this course sucks. The greens are disease ridden, with 3 different colors of grass on them, and the fairways were mostly barren. The pace of play was the worst I have ever seen here, as it took almost 3 hours to play the front nine. The staff didn’t want to help us with this, and they were unprofessional! We will never come back here!! I hate this place!

I knew of the course having passed it a thousand times. I had always thought the course was nice, especially considering the price to play. Sadly I can't really say anything good about the course. For the money I would expect GPS in the cart and much better course conditions to name a couple. Having reserved the tee time and price online, I received a comment from an employee stating that we had a great price. Apparently the weekday 6:30am tee time is more! I've paid as much for other courses in SD and I don't think I'll return here!

This course has a very nice layout. Located right in the middle of San Diego. Wasn't in the greatest of shape and the greens were slow, but if you can get a late morning tee time on a golf now hot deal, it's definitely worth $26!

First time played there and shot 79 not bad missed couple of of birdies on bar 4s in front 9 and 4 over 4 and 9 bar 5s but end up all good.

Played with a husband and wife and had a few slower groups in front of us but still got around in 4 hours course is in pretty decent shape

Played this course last month. One of the worst conditioned golf courses I’ve ever played. Check out my pics on yelp. Fairways were basically dirt. Hardly any grass. Greens were ok. But for 73.00 not worth it. Really not worth it for any price if you value a course that is well maintained. Sad.

I got a hot deal of $30, I wouldn't pay anymore. Fairways in rough shape, greens were in decent shape.

It wouldn’t hurt the starter to be nicer to the people playing golfing at your course. I have played at lots of courses all over the country and I have come to the conclusion that the enjoyment I derive from my outings is directly related to the pleasantness of the staff. Being cordial and informative to visitors goes a long way!

First time playing this course. Visiting from Midwest. Have played numerous courses in and around San Diego/Carlsbad area. An above average urban course. I had time to play an extra nine holes but the pro shop folks refused to offer any discount off of a full price, so I passed and the course got nothing additional. Too bad for both of us.

My foursome teed off at 7a on Friday. The pace was excellent. We played Mission and Presidio as the Friars is now closed. Course looks good and the grass is coming back in some places that used to be real rough areas. There has been ongoing work done and it looks to be paying off. The gentleman who was assisting as the starter that day was really friendly, great customer service.

I had the twilight tee time at 2pm. The sun was shining with a cold ambient temperature in the low 60s.

The course was in excellent condition. Few of the fairways have under repair sticks around them due to recent rain.

The greens were shaved tight so expect a faster roll of the ball.

The pace of the play were normal. At times, I felt like we were slow.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my game altogether. It was very disappointing considering it was a perfect day to play.

Overall I had fun. I will continue to play this course.

Good play!

I'm visiting my son who lives in San Diego, and I wanted to play close to his apartment. I picked up a hot deal for $34. The greens were nice and the course overall was in good condition. There were a few fairways where the grass was thin, but you could see they were working on those holes and carts had to stay in the rough. Pace of play was decent for a Sunday - teed off at 1:15 and finished all 18 at 5:30. I'll play here again before going home to Ohio.

I have not played here for a while, and I noticed that

the GPS in a cart was no longer available. But thanks to the recent rain, the fairway condition looks to have improved. Both Green and Bunker are OK, too. Good course overall this is. Hoping all the bare spots in fairway

will be gone.
