Won't play this course again

The course is in less than decent condition- super slow shag carpet greens that were burnt up in way too many parts, far too many soggy areas from sprinklers that were left on too long, and when I called from hole 8 for the cart-advertised "$10 burger at the turn", I picked it up and was charged $17 for the "$10" burger and when asked, staff said the menu "changed the day prior and the carts hadn't been updated " - WHAT!?!?!

Needless to say, I hadn't been to this course in a year but will not play it ever again.

Walden golf club

This place is not for raw beginners. Tight course with lots of houses. If you are a beginner, put your driver away. You might be buying a window, windshield, or hitting a child. Beautiful course overall and a great price.

Not good

Showed up and was met with a lukewarm man in the pro shop. No biggie, I was there to play golf! Started playing and it was apparent they had recently punched their greens and they were rolling about a 7. Few quirky holes later, and big brown patches started showing up on the greens. Then I noticed there were no rakes for the bunkers— are they waste areas? Finally got lost out there a couple times from a lack of signs. Honestly, it’s a tight, poorly maintained and wield layout. If you want to hit driver expect to lose golf balls. I paid about $30 on a “hot deal” and think it was worth $10-15. I cannot believe they’re getting close to $50 for regular rates!! Maybe I played on the wrong day but I won’t be going back.

Could Be Much Better

Walden used to be a top course in the area, it has degraded over the years. The good points, club house food, drinks, and staff were great, pro shop, starters, and maintenance crew were great as well. Okay, the bad, fairways were clean of debris, but grass was sketchy and poor lies plentiful (does not seem like players of this course care about fixing damage). The narrowness of the course means fairly close misses can put you in a person's backyard or worse hit their home. The ratios of distance to width are completely off. Now the worst. Greens were a mixture of weeds, sand, non-healed punches (after a month), and whatever grass was brave enough to attempt growth. Absolute garbage in every way imaginable. It is easier judging a putt and getting less bounce in backyard 4 inch fescue. I would like to give the greens a -100 score. The nice people in the club house said the greens were good this year????? Sorry, but absolute FAIL.

Was hoping for better.

Course was difficult layout which isn’t a bad thing but conditions were poor. Very fast, not much grass on many fairways. Some holes hard to tell where the fairway was because of conditions. Tee boxes were in good condition. Green were extremely fast and edges were sand or dirt. Bunkers were very hard. Wasn’t expensive for afternoon tee time on weekend but was expecting better.

They have taken out some of the hazards which made the course way more player friendly.
