Signature hole #17 - the green/ bunkers look like Clemsons Tiger Paw. Photo submitted by Ewaloo78 on 03/14/2018

Nice course but too expensive
Well kept and very fun to play but too expensive for what you get compared to other courses.
Beautiful Facility
The course was in great shape. It had enough variety in the tees to make the course as easy or as challenging as you or anyone would want. I will definitely play again.
Beautiful views
Nice course. Greens were not what I would call fast. Punishes left Handers that fade just a tad too far down the left side. The ball rolls until it gets to the hazard. Nice holes, some challenging no nine has my number. Don't miss the Tiger Paw on 17. Very well maintained.
Beautiful and Fun
Course was in excellent shape and had some beautiful views of Lake Hartwell. The greens putted true but were much slower than other courses in the Up State. Play moved at a good pace but backed up on the final four holes but not bad for a Sunday afternoon. Well worth the drive from Greenville and worth the money.
Super layout
First time but I went back the next day. Loved the course and the people were real helpful. Great day! Great conditions
Great layout. Not too tight
We'll definitely be returning but gonna wait til it greens up. Fairways weren't over seeded but very soft. I absolutely love this golf course and would play there more often if it were a little cheaper
GREAT DAY
Staff excellent - liked the fact that Starter gave me (single female player) the option to join with 2 other Golf Now purchasers or head out before time alone.
Walker Course
WE arrived an hour and a half early hit balls and the starter was able to slide us in, no problems. Great staff, course was in great shape, greens running fast, couple of slow greens, but all in great shape. Look forward to spring/summer to be able to play course again
Pleasant surprise
I decided to drive three hours to play this course based upon its favorable ranking in a list of top college courses, and I must say it did not disappoint. I encountered something at this course that I haven't anywhere else: zoysia greens. And you would never have known the difference. Not quick and definitely not grainy, just true and highly consistent. The holes around Lake Hartwell are the star of this course. The par 3 17th gets most of the play due to the tiger paw green/bunker combo, but the toothy par-4 9th is the best hole on the course. Pick your poison off the tee. You can try to carry the creek and land in the second fairway, but miss short or left and you're laying three. Lay up off tee to avoid the trouble and you are facing a 200+-yard approach partially over a hazard. Would've been a fantastic 18th home. Excellent practice facility, but beware: if you are planning on playing on a Saturday during football season and the Tigers are at home, the driving range will be closed because they park cars on it for games. It is literally that close to campus and the stadium. Tip: after your round, visit the Esso Club for drinks and good. It is on campus wishing 2 miles of the course.
Read the fine print
Enjoyed the golf but not the price. GolfNow listed the fee at $35.xx. That is a reasonable amount for this course. However, this does not include a cart which is another $18. So with taxes and fees it was $60 per person. The course is not worth that amount. GolfNow should stop with the gimmicks and just list the 18 hole rate with a cart and I should read the fine print better.
Very Impressed
Read a review that this course was the best in the Up State of SC. And boy was he right. I haven't played many courses in the Up State however I cant see any other public course being better. Course conditions, layout, were superb . Drove from Charlotte just to play it and I plan on doing it again soon.
Clemson Walker Course
Excellent condition. Challenging course with small greens that have a lot of slope. Hard to chip close to the hole if you miss. Lots of elevation changes tee to green. Fun round.
This course is awesome!
I've played here plenty of times before late Clemson games and this course never disappoints. Conditions and course layout is just awesome. Highly recommend!
Perfect condition
I have played the Walker Course many times over the years. The new zoysia greens are as smooth as any as I have ever played. The course layout has a good combination of risk/reward Par 5s and challenging, lengthy Par 3s if played from the back tees. The finishing 4-5 holes provide beautiful scenery of Lake Hartwell and some birdie opportunities as well. One of the best public venues to play anywhere for golfers of all skill levels hands down.
Best course in the upstate
Course is in great condition, even the rough is meticulously maintained. Quality is on par with private Cliffs courses.
great layout
Great condition, generous size greens and great layout makes it is a joy to play
Wow! Agree with you on that extra cart fee. However the course is definitely worth $60.But I never paid that.
