Poor shape (bushy greens)

I always enjoy playing a course for the first time, and Walden was no exception. But the bushy slow greens with brown spots was a turnoff. Some holes were to narrow for their own good and needed a crew of lumberjacks. One redeemer was the layout, which was well done.

Greens and bunkers need improvement

Thunder and lightening forced us off the course after 14 holes. Very nice layout where you shouldn’t hit driver off every tee. Bunkers were caked with wet sand that had dried and greens were fungus burnt in may places.
Staff was great and I forced pace of play.

What a shame!

Greens on the front 9 are awful. Slow, even when putting downhill! A lot of diseased grass on the greens (not from heat), not maintained properly. Tee boxes have more dirt than grass. Bunkers are trashed and not maintained. Barely worth playing unless you're just messing around. The maintenance staff should be ashamed of themselves! A lot of overgrowth (trees) that should be taken care of, especially on the tees. Some of the blue tees (the back tees) have tree branches directly in the path of your tee shot - unacceptable.

Cool Course - rough shape - Slow Play

First time at the course, 9am tee time, pulled up to first tee and there was a foursome still waiting to tee off. The rough was thick, the fairways were fine, bunkers were not maintained at all, greens had a ton of weeds and not in good shape.

I’m not sure what happened

This is one of my favorite courses in the area, but this is the worst I’ve ever seen the greens at Walden CC. It is a hot mess!!! Because of the proximity of the course to my home, I play here a lot and I don’t believe I’ve ever seen the greens in this condition. It’s really bad! I’m not sure what happened to the greens but it looks like it needs a lot of work. To me, the greens are the most important part of a golf course because with the fairways and rough you can move your ball and find a decent spot , but you don’t have that luxury on the greens. I really hope the course can pull it together. I’m sure I’ll be out there again sooner than later.
I know the staff pretty well and they deserve a 5-star rating because they are top-notch, a good blend of friendly and professional. The course layout is great and challenging. It’s one of those courses that no matter how many times you play it, there are no guarantees on your scorecard.

Staff was incredible

Absolutely loved my experience at this golf course! The lush fairways, impeccable greens, and stunning views made every swing a joy. The staff's friendliness and well-maintained facilities added to the overall fantastic visit. Can't wait to tee off here again!

HOOOORRIBLE!!!!!!

First and LAST time playing this course. This is a money pit. The fairway grass is bad and the greens were WORSE. Not too many soluf places to hit off the fairway, after your drive. Green had aerated holes AAAALLLL through them!! Each and every green!!! Sand all over the greens as well. Just a bad experience all together! If you cherish your hard earned money then don't play here!!!!

Always challenging

I’ve played this course a number of times over the last few years. It’s different layout than a lot of courses since it winds through neighborhoods. It’s a challenging course. I played a couple of weeks ago and it was in great shape. The greens were the best I’d ever seen them. I played just two days ago and was disappointed that they had just aerated the greens. There was no mention of this when I made the reservation. Still had to pay full price. Additionally, my partner and I walked and we only saved $5 off the regular fee for doing so. Hmmmm!

Great Local course

First time playing here (new to golf). Course layout was a bit confusing, could use a little more signage to navigate between holes. Pace of play was ok, Tee times every 10 min, people were bunching up a bit. Played middle of the day during the week, could see that being a real issue on weekends. Other players respectful, golf carts and paths kind of old. I was hitting off the ladies Tees with my husband (in solidarity) think it was a very fun couples experience! Would definitely play again especially with prices including cart for 2 people less than $60.

Post-Aeration

Tees, fairways & rough were in great shape. Course overall was also very good, no trash etc. Two problem areas: the traps and the greens (temporary). They had just aerated the greens last week so the surfaces were still sandy and bumpy, but puttable. The traps are another story! There was standing water and most traps were compacted and unplayable. It will take a concerted effort by management to make the traps playable!
