Friars/Presidio at Riverwalk Golf Club

I have heard many rumors that Friars will soon be closed. The time is now. I have never seenFriars in good condition but it is not playable at this point. Close it down and focus on presidio and mission. Both great 9s but could also use some love.

Five hours, 20 minute round. No marshals. Weekend extremely busy. Recommend weekday play only.

This course has a wonderful layout , we played Presidio and Mission. The only negative thing I could say was the amount of fairways that has ground under repair.

The greens could use a little attention as well.

Our round wasn’t the slowest round I’ve ever played but it seemed like we could’ve finished in 4 hours instead of 4 :45,

Got on friars around 1130am. I guess they let groups of 6 play together so had to wait a few holes until they waved me through. Conditions were not ideal but that's expected on friars which is the worst of the 3 9 hole courses. Many fairways are roped off which is annoying but understandable if the grass is growing back. I get to the green on the 8th hole and the maintenance crew decided to turn on the sprinklers on the 9th hole right in front of me. I tried to wave the guy down but he ignored me and made me wait about 5-10 min until he turned it off. Pulled up to a soaked tee box to play my last hole. The fairway was soaked too which ruined the hole for me. Terrible experience

The Friars course was in poor shape. Muddy wet spots everywhere despite lack of recent rain. Many areas roped off down middle of fairways. Greens were really beat up and sloppy.

Course could have been a fun course to play. Interesting layout but WAY over booked. Had two and sometimes three groups on EVERY tee box. 15+ min wait between EVERY hole. Ridiculous number of people on the course but not one marshall to be found. I will not play here again, too many other great choices in San Diego.

There were many areas that were muddy and it was not from any rain. In fact they were using the sprinklers when the course was already wet. Also there were many fairways that were blocked off because of the muddy conditions.

Most fairways were under repairs. Took fun out of a good drive. I have not seen that many ground under repairs before.

They seriously need to close one of the 9 holes down to get the grass time to grow.

The course layout was very fun with plenty of water holes. Nice views and a course in the middle of a bustling city that offers an escape engulfed in the game of golf on a very lush course.

They are doing a lot of work on the fairways, much needed work. Still an ok experience.

The first 9 we played looked like a MX track. More water and mud than grass. The $ 45. rental clubs were very muddy and not cleaned at all. The 2 nd 9 was a fair amt. better. It was cool as far as one of the players i played with was a x Nfl player.

I booked a 7:45a tee time for a buddy & I. When we arrived you could tell there was going to be a big tournament, yet there was no alert about any of this in golf now or anywhere like when a course aerated the greens. Of course the tournament started about the same time. We didn’t tee off until after 8 and it was after 2pm when we finished. Waited around on every hole & every shot. The 2 guys paired with us just left after 12 holes because it was so ridiculous. Is it that hard to inform the laying customers?

I used to live in San Diego and played this course on several occasions and thought it was a very well maintained, challenging course. Today we played on A LOT of ground under repair, places that were muddy, places with no grass, wet bunkers, and overly watered fairways and greens. I'm not sure what caused the greens to be so fast, but they were extremely hard to judge speed on and many putts that were barely struck ended up 7 or 8 feet past the hole for everyone in our group. It was sad to see it in such disarray

This is my second time playing here and it’s the same as it was before. Over saturated fairways but at the same time no fairway is most spots. It almost seems like they just let it go when they sold the land. The staff also contacted Golfnow and told them I missed my tee time which I didn’t and now Golfnow is charging my card an additional greens fee which I will be disputing. Book somewhere else. There’s plenty of other quality courses.

I’ve been playing there for years.

The fairways are the worst I’ve ever seen them.

Sorry to say

The golf course not long in yards but you must be able to hit different shots off tee and fairways. Multiple holes have water and sand traps. Enjoyed the perfect weather and friendly staff. Played from the blue tees makes the water holes intimidating

Course conditions of Friars Course were dreadful. Half an hour wait to check-in in the morning.
