Improvement

Greens were cut so speed was good and rolling nice. Fairways were cut they just need a good fairway mower. Rough was obnoxiously deep in many areas. they need to get more equipment and staff to keep up with mowing. Finally bunkers are embarrassing. Fill them in and mound them and allow fescue to grow tall like at Eisenhower.

Fallen Apart

I’ve always been a fun of Walden because of the course layout, it’s a shot-makers course. It seems like maintaining the course is no longer a priority. Even the greens are in horrible shape. The course has fallen apart!

This is the first bad review I’ve given this course.

Rude cart staff/ bad condition

Cart staff, more specifically the older gentleman was very rude and useless. The tee boxes might as well be in the middle of the fairway due to the lack of grass. Bunkers felt like cement or they were all filled with water. Layout of the course is very cool but the conditions made it way less cool. I would never play this course again for 54$, course is 25-30$ quality. Need to work on maintenance heavily, would not recommend

Course needs to work on tees and greens. Rough is obnoxious how thick it is.

Another One bites the dust

About 10 years ago I used to play this course every Wednesday when they had a Wednesday promo going on. I then moved out of town for roughly 10 years and was very disappointed going back to play at Walden again. The tea boxes and fairways look like your neighbor's yard that you always complain about, the greens are patchy, and it doesn't seem like anybody respects the course or has any courtesy whatsoever. This course has a nice layout but unfortunately I think a pack of goats could keep it up better than it is right now. To give an example I literally lost three balls in the fairway!!! Hope they get it back to its Old Glory as this was one of my favorite courses to play as it's very challenging and as I said before has a very nice layout.

Super Hot Muggy Day

Have not played a round in this type of hot humid heat in quite awhile. It was 96 degrees and sunny, w/ no breeze. Wilted by the 15th hole, drank lots of water, Gatorade and a 6 pack of beer and never went to the restroom until 9pm that evening. ( played from 10:30am to 3pm) Course is tight and has some difficult holes that has you leaving your fairway woods in the bag. There are a few greens that are in bad shape and it appears that the only way to ever get these Greens looking good is to start-over and recontour the greens. All the sand traps have not been taken care of , other than spraying weed-killer , so you know its a sand-trap and not some patchy fairway grass. ( did not have to hit out of one today) I play here at least once a year because it's my old stomping ground when it was then a 9 hole course known as " Golden Triangle" back in high school with only 5 of those original holes still having some resemblances to that time-period. I would never take new friends or clients here because of the difficult layout, the spotting greens, lots of Canadian Geese poop on a few of the fairways and the lack of sand trap care. Otherwise, its a challenge with a guarantee lose of a few golf balls, but the staff on the course ,in the club house and bar/ grill area were all great. This course has a few fun holes, a few easy ones and a few " hair raisers" to give you a fair mix. Hit it in the woods and you are likely not to recover unless its between the 14th and 15th hole.
