Mission/Friars at Riverwalk Golf Club

What do you call a goat pasture with no goats?

I don't know if it's the maintenance crew's fault it the course owners, but dirt fairways, gravel pits for bunkers, clover fields for rough and lumpy diseased greens with huge divots in the skirts are not enticing.

Cannot recommend. If I die without playing here again, I will still RIP.

First time in a year playing Riverwalk. Really surprised and disappointed at the poor condition of the fairways. Patchwork of ground under repair everywhere. Maybe one of the few courses in the county that is hurt by the rain because it’s in a flood plain. Upside was the greens, which were in very good condition, though a little fuzzier than most courses in the area. Bunkers are very good too. Pace was awesome. Played in less than 4 hours and it was decently busy. Price was right with GolfNow. Wouldn’t pay more than about $35 at this point.

First time in several years. Course condition was spotty bad. Greens were good for poa annua bloom time. In current condition it is not a course I would spend above $50 to play.

I cancelled my tee time with the pro shop due to a delayed plane flight morning of. They said they would not charge me for cx and thanked me for the notice. The GN app sucks and you cannot contact customer service on 800 number nor via live message thru app. I was still charged $220+ and never got to play the course. Hoping this post gets someone’s attention and can fix their issues. Why would a representative from the pro shop say one thing and then do another? I’ve left messages for RW management to return calls which went unanswered and unreturned. Disappointed overall.

Hoping to get this resolved.

Disappointed

Greens rolled as true as any public course. A little slow due to all of the rain we've had in the past week, excellent overall. Friendly staff and while there are several newly sodded areas playing as ground under repair, it didn't detract from the round.

Our day on Riverwalk was enjoyable. The pace of play was fine for a Sunday with our 18-holes taking just a tad over 4-hours. There was a snack/beer cart on the course but it was challenging to get service. Suggest that you bring plenty of your own water if it is at all warm out. The greens were fun and the course overall was well groomed. I would play here again.

First of all John the starter was great to talk to before my round. So much that I even looked for him after my round to say thanks too, but he was on break. The course was beautiful, the greens were true even though they were being worked on. Overall, I had a great time out. I will certainly play this course again next time I’m in San Diego. Marshall kept the pace of play on track and that’s all I can ask for at a nice course like this.

The people in the pro shop Cordial and professional The braves are in great shape I play there regularly

Greens were excellent. Fairways and near fairways are dry, bumpy, need improvement.

Pace of play pretty good.

I get it, the owners are planning on 4k residential units on the north 9. But its unfortunate their money grab in real estate will be more important than a community gem like Riverwalk. I have to give the staff at Riverwalk a huge applause. Karl with players assistance dug deep into cart barn to find the last 2 functioning pull/ push carts for us. Staff appears to be working with one hand tied behind their back, and still show great effort in customer service.

Although the region has had a wet winter, great for growing grass, Riverwalk has failed in growing it in the fairways. Many fairways were recently aerated, but all that was present was dirt. The course was very dry too. I do have to say, the greens were in fact green and very slow as they most likely weren't cut in the past few days, but rolled true and in good shape.

The layout of the course was beyond great and offered a lot of variety, and makes the golfer think about every shot. I would love to see this course grown in and well maintained. Could be the best public course in the area in my opinion. But for now, its just o.k.

The twilight rate was justified.

Really pleasant day, course in reasonable condition. Really handy to get to from downtown. Got paired with a really nice group, would play there again as great value for money,

Was a good value for a true ameature like myself that just wants to get out and play golf. Windy and challenging.

In the last year or so the conditions at Riverwalk Were so poor that I wouldn’t play there for free and the reason for this is because the property has been sold and they are going to build a community on it so they decided why invest money in maintenance. The greens and the tee boxes were always good but the fairways were horrible more dirt than grass. There’s been a reprieve from the construction due to the locals fighting it and I know that because I live in the condos over looking the course. So it seems like they are rushing to make it playable again specifically the Friars course which is facing the street. The other two are in decent shape especially Presidio the more picturesque of the three ,fountains and everything. Hopefully the resurgence will continue because it’s a beautiful place to play and was once the Premier spot To play in San Diego. See you there

Good layout with challenging hazards. Fairways were in questionable/rough shape but the greens and traps were great...if you can refer to any trap as great.
