Fantastic Course Even with Just Being Punched
Amazing course. Clemson did it right. I played from purple tees. A little short. Should have moved to tips but orange still presents lots unique challenges. The course & greens had been punched recently, but you could tell the course is in great shape. Only thing, I wish it the pro shop was a more traditional build. But that’s just my ridiculous reason to complain.

Play it if you’re wanting a nice challenge and greens that are true.
My 12 year old golfer and I played the course and it was a hot day(100+ heat index). We got paired with a member Mr Terry and he was so nice, also helped a ton being our first time on the track.
Lush fairways and true greens, the greens rolled so good with no bumps. Par 3’s were great and all the 5’s were on in two.
We will play this again, but when it cools down in the fall.

Hairy Greens
Course was in great shape, pace of play was about 4 and a half hours, typical for Walker. Greens are a little slow right now but putt fairly true. Really slow up heal. Hopefully they'll start cutting them a little closer.
