Great greens

First time playing this course in over 10 years. Fairways aren’t as good as they used to be, but the greens are very fast and true.

Overall an enjoyable track.

Not worth the rates

There is no way they should be charging these rates for the condition of the course. There are many places in the fairways that are completely baron. Bunkers are atrocious with mostly dirt in them even on a good day. You are lucky to have a beverage cart or a marshal even on a weekend. I only live a mile away and travel wll out of the area for much better courses.

Spectacular Local course in San Diego

This course is one of my favorite in all of San Diego county , Spectacular course to play which is always maintained in pristine shape and is within miles of my residence The convenience and prices always makes for a great round . The layout is great . No complaints from me on all 3 of their 9 hole courses . Presidio , Mission & Friars are great and challenging for beginners to pros . This will be my go to course at least once a week I highly recommend you golf here

Poor fairway condition, tee boxes, too expensive

For $75 on a Friday, this course should be in much better shape. It looks like they are trying. Tee boxes are in bad shape, fairways are mostly horrible. Greens were ok, in all fairness with greens has been raining so the didn’t mow them or roll them. I could’ve walked Torrey North in pristine condition for $52. I will not be back unless golf is free.

Hi, ggechoff. Thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par and have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and tee boxes. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. Thank you for playing Riverwalk Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

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.

Enjoyable Afternoon

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.
