Great Layout, Great Conditions
I have played The Walker Course several times and it is one of my favorites in the SC Upstate area.
The course always has very good conditions with good facilities, and a fantastic layout, especially the last four holes which are along the shores of lake Hartwell.
Great value
Best conditioned course I have played in some time. Great layout , good sand. Only negative. Greens could be faster.
Be careful.
I paid $33.50 though golfnow. Once i got there, i paid $15 more. Because the cart fee did not include on green fee. Dont trust golfnow price. Anyway you need to pay extra or walk.
Great course
Visiting the area from Ohio and couldn’t pass up the chance to play here. Course was in great shape and pace of play was spot on. Can’t say enough about course conditions...tee boxes were all well maintained and greens were fast but true. Not an overly challenging course but a few holes will definitely test you. Overall this was a great course and a fun round.
One of the best GC around Greenville...
Very good conditions with great facilities, super layout. We were disappointed only about the groups and pace managing. Singles guys and everything between.. walking or not just a slow pace.
This course has an amazing layout
Course very well taken care of, great staff very friendly and out going
Beautiful course!
The course was one of the best courses I've played on. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were smooth and quick, but very nice. The course had a great variety of different hole layouts and amazing views. Only drawback was that it had a good bit of hills and valleys on the back nine, but it was a welcomed challenge. Could use at least one more water station per 9.
Great setup extremely poor pace of play
Took 5 hours and 40 minutes to play 18 holes! That’s a crazy long time. They had a ladies outing that was pushing everything back. But unfortunately the starter wasn’t helping. They also didn’t have any staff members on the course helping to speed things up. It was way too long to play. It was a shame because the course was a good course. I enjoyed playing it when I wasn’t standing around waiting to hit.
Walker Course
Course was extremely wet due to recent rains and it was cart path only. Played as a single, after playing thru one foursome I finished in 3 1/2 hours. Greens were in excellent shape, staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Beautiful layout
Love the layout of the course. Challenging with many bunker s guarding the nice and big greens. Roll very true even for this time of year.
Great staff
Girls at Grill fantastic and friendly. Cart Girl Haley work to get everyone happy.
Wide Open Course Temps in the Mid 40s
As I've played a number of college courses, I wanted to play the Clemson University Walker Course over my winter break. I could not book a tee time more than 7 days in advance without staying on-site, so I used Golf Now instead.
I was pleased that the course was open given the amount of rain this Fall/Winter and in the days prior to my round, and happy that it was "cold" when I arrived to play as the course was empty. I only regret -- and was told later that I should have been informed by the Pro Shop by guys in the Pro Shop, ugh -- not taking a cart for the back 9. The walk on the back 9 was brutal (especially between 12 tee and 14 tee and 15 green to 16 fairway), and it definitely cost me strokes.
Given the rain, the course was in great shape -- cart path only signs did not impact me -- and despite "winter hole locations" the greens were in very good shape. The ball rolled well on the greens and the fairways were comparable to what I usually play in December on the RTJ Trail in Alabama (my usual destination).
I shot 40-45, but messed up on the 1st, 16th, and 18th holes to wreck a shot at going sub-80 in the final round of the year and before the new Rules go into effect. Tee shots on 9 and 18 are a little quirky for the first-time player, but the course was generally right in front of you and pleasant to play.
Never put a ball in a bunker during the 18 holes, so I cannot rate them, but they looked to be in decent shape given the conditions.
