I went out on 8/4/08 at 4 pm. Played Friars Presidio. The course wasn't in too bad shape. I guess these course always plays directly into the wind on 75% of the holes. The one thing that frustrated me so much were the ball marks on the greens. You would think this was the lowest end of golf course. No one has the decency to replace ball marks it looks like. anyways it was a decent round other than the ball marks it's a nice course but not for the 100$ they wanna charge. I highly suggest playing twilight for 30$ Wouldn't pay more than that.

Courses are in pretty good shape. The wind was blowing to say the least. Greens were fairly slow & a lot of ball marks. The bunkers have way too much sand in them. Fairways were good, rough needs... Continue »

Courses are in pretty good shape. The wind was blowing to say the least. Greens were fairly slow & a lot of ball marks. The bunkers have way too much sand in them. Fairways were good, rough needs seeding. All in all not bad at twilight rate.

Played on Wednesday afternoon and the course is overall in great shape! Some tee boxes are a little uneven and have some bare spots but that didn't bother me much. Friars has a lot of ground under repair mostly in the rough areas, so you wouldn't hit in there anyways right? Had a great time playing, Presidio was in excellent condition and Mission looked great (as it always does) Definatly recommended for those of you who get the Union Tribune, look in the Tuesday issue and there will usually be great coupons for the course in the sports section.

Played here on 4/12 in the morning on Presidio/Mission. Course is in fairly good shape and the greens seem to be healing well after a recent aeration. They are rolling true and fast but still receptive to approach shots. Main gripe with this course is how close all the holes are together, especially on Presidio. Managed to play as a foursome in just under 4 1/2 hours.

Played today 12/14 on Mission/Presidio. Still cart path only. Got out in front of everyone again in the early morning (very cold), so can't really tell you about pace of play. Fairways are coming in p... Continue »

Played today 12/14 on Mission/Presidio. Still cart path only. Got out in front of everyone again in the early morning (very cold), so can't really tell you about pace of play. Fairways are coming in pretty nice, no real bare spots, just a little bit shaggy still. Overall, fairways are decent. Sandtraps were decent, only went in twice today and they were consistent with each other.

This is a pretty traditional type layout. Was pretty stoked to play something more traditional after the Crossings yesterday. Bunkering is good and placed in good punitive spots. Only knock on the course would be the tee boxes...thin in spots and some semi-unlevel boxes from the blues.

GOOD NEWS = Green complexes were filthy! (in a good way). Virtually no ball marks and maybe even an eleven on stimp. Awesome greens!!! Mission has a little more dogleg trickery than Presidio, but both nines are in good shape.

I will go back again next time I am in SD. This place should be rated higher than 6+ in my opinion. Also, easy to get discounted tee times online for this course. Click4teetimes or TeetimesAmerica.

Staff was very laid back. Starter gave me no guff about going as a single and some other marshall guy gave didn't bug me at all when I turned off Mission onto Presidio nine which wasn't supposed to open for another 30 minutes. Thanks Riverwalk guys, that's the attitude that keeps people like coming back!

Played 12/6: The course is overseeding (which seemed a bit odd given that it is already December) so the carts were restricted to the fairways. There were very few (if any) distance markers on the fairways so there was a lot of guesswork required re distances. Because they were overseeeding the fairways were very soggy. The greens were in nice condition--although a bit on the slow side. The pace of play was great (which is a bit unusual for this course). I would guess that the carts will be restricted to the fairways for another couple of weeks.

Played Super Twilight on 9/1. Course was very empty. My twosome got through 16 holes in 3 hours. I think we could have finished all 18 in 3 hours flat but some foursome appeared in from my group out of no where and started playing in front of us. Greens were very fast and fairways were firm and fast. Bunkers were hard also. Overall, for super twilight at its price, its a very good deal. Otherwise, I wouldnt pay the prime rate for this course.

Played on August 17th on Presidio/Mission layout. The course is in great condition, Got cart girl on 2nd tee, asked if she'd be around all day (95F+ means lots of gatorade for me). Of course, she replies, never saw her again. Condition was good, we were out just in front of a tournament, holes were cut in tourney placement. Found Mission 9 to be the more memorable, but a hardhat may be warranted, we had 3 or 4 balls come close enough to get our attention on the Mission 9. All in all, enjoyable course, I'd play it again.

Great customer service tee time booked for 8:25 got out at 8:33 saw cart girl 4 times during round, fariways are tight greens smooth and a tad slow. GPS was a nice touch, course was in good condition. Only complaint I thought the course was a little overpiced. Just a golf course in good condition and not one hole makes you say Wow!
