Great course play

This course is one of my favorite in San Diego. Great course to play which is always kept up and extremely close to my house. The convenience and great play always makes it a good time. Always look forward to playing here.

To Early to Play

The course was in poor condition due to the overseeding, and a lot of standing water. Should be much better in a month.

Does not look like on the pictures

The golf was at places soaked, other places very dry and patchy. The layout is nice. The was a lot of noisy maintenance for a coming tournament. Overall fair value but I feel like the course did not show its best today.

Hugely disappointing

I have a hard time understanding how a course can get in such bad shape. Somehow the keep the greens ok but the rest is terrible. It’s a shame because there are some fun and challenging holes but most of the time your ball is sitting in mud on the fairway.

Slow over priced with favorites local

Slow play. Fun course. Great greens. Fairways are a bit run out and beat up. Tee boxes are beat up. The course is fun to play.

The course has their local favorites that they sneak in to play but all courses do. They’re just a little more evident here and will play up your tail.

Fun course, overpriced at full price

I enjoy this course. The driving range is excellent. The course is fun, however there are bare spots in the fairways. The Sunset course is in very poor condition, which is sad to see.

Greens are in good shape. Fairways have some patchy spots, but overall a really good experience. Pace of play was OK until #9, when we had three groups bunched up ahead of us.

Great course to play, pace of play was great . Never saw the foursome in front or behind. Well planned . Challenging course but easy to figure out. Water hazards were great scenery. Will play again.

Slow pace

We got stuck behind a scramble tournament. Over 5 hours. Just a bunk of hacks that come out to drink. It's not the courses fault, but it would be nice to know ahead of time.

Mission/Presidio

Course and Staff were excellent in helpfulness, courtesy, and my Breakfast Burrito was great! The overall condition of the course was very good. Pace of play could have been better, but in NO REGARDS to the course or staff. Our 3some was just having a rough day of it, we had no one to blame but ourselves. Still, all in all, it was a great day to get out and take the challenge.

Very disorganized. Did not honor my tee time....about 25 minutes late. They honored a big group. I asked to get ahead of the group, as I knew the tee was open but they did not let me. The course was in horrible condition. Not worth the money, I would not play it again.

Extremely overpriced and poor quality

Starter had an attitude. (You’re a starter my guy, relax)

Greens were bumpier than my goosebumps during an ice bath.

Fairways were hit or miss, mostly miss.

Has potential but seriously over priced.

Shabby but fun

This place used to the gem of the valley ( 27 beautiful holes/only 18 now) it’s definitely lost it’s shine. The layout is fun, and some holes are quite challenging when the wind blows through.

They are making efforts to improve the course, but the progress has been extremely slow.

Staff in the pro shop are nice, the starters always seem to be in a great mood, and kitchen is always friendly. Hard to find a beverage cart before 10am during the week.

Surprisingly this place gets more play than the course conditions call for. Hopefully Riverwalk restores the course along with shine it once had.
