Steeped in a rich tradition of golf legends past, the Par 72 Riverwalk Golf Club offers a classic golf-
ing experience. Formerly known as the Stardust Country Club, the course hosted the PGA tour during the 50's and 60's. Today's players are treated to the challenge of the original course at the newly reborn Riverwalk. What was once flat now features undulating fairways, waterfalls and well-protected bent grass greens. Water comes into play on 13 of the 27 holes
with a spectacular waterfall surrounding the green of the signature hole.
The San Diego River, a prominent feature of the layout, contributes to the beauty and challenge of the course
