Riverwalk Golf Club is in the heart of San Diego’s Mission Valley, minutes from the Convention Center, Old Town, Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego International Airport and many other San Diego attractions. Riverwalk offers an 18-hole, resort-style, full-length par-72 course.
A Piece of San Diego Golf History
Golf in Mission Valley started here in 1947, when the course opened as Mission Valley Country Club. In the 1950s and ’60s it was home to the PGA Tour’s San Diego Open, the tournament known today as the Farmers Insurance Open. Arnold Palmer won here twice, in 1957 and 1961. The club was renamed Stardust Country Club in 1962 and kept drawing legends, with Gary Player winning in 1963 and Billy Casper in 1966. The tournament moved to Torrey Pines in 1968. In the 1990s the course was completely redesigned by architect Ted Robinson and reopened in 1998 as Riverwalk Golf Club. Every round here is played on the same ground as some of the game’s greatest names.
The Course Today
Mature palms, oaks and eucalyptus frame undulating fairways and manicured greens. Wetland areas, nearly 70 bunkers and a series of water features, including three lakes and the San Diego River, give the course strategic variety and a beautiful backdrop. The course challenges low handicappers, and multiple tees on every hole make it enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.
