Nice course

Beautiful course. Fairly tight. Only used driver 4-5 times. Some holes have houses in play. Made me a little nervous. Quite a few forced carries over water. Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Fairways were in pretty good shape. Some dead spots.

Paid $27 for 11:20am tee time on a holiday (Labor Day).

Good Hot Deal course

Course has a good layout, however the design between the front and back are different. As if it is two seperate designs. Greens were in good shape. Fairways were a bit patchy. All in all, a good course for a hot deal.

Don’t Be Fooled!

Don’t be fooled by Walden’s length. By modern standards, it’s a short course, but if you get out of position watch out. You will lose balls like quarters in an arcade. And the 2nd hole is a beast. Narrow, descending fairway with what could essentially be considered an island green. The approach is a brutal down slope shoot. Hope your comfortable hitting on uneven lies.

Recent rains Notwithstanding...

With all the recent rain, the course was understandably wet and the bunkers tended to be washed out. The greens were immaculate but, with all the water, very slow. There are some blind tee shots, so it pays to know the course. Overall, a very nice course and a pleasant day.

$50 golf course

Rough tee boxes, and many rough around the edges, but hey, you're paying $50. This course is plenty of challenge, if not a little short. Good greens. "Is what it is" good little fall back and probably one of the best at this price point

Great course layout

Greens were in excellent condition! Fairways were "okay," but should have been cut. Several bunkers should have grass, weeds, etc. removed and more sand added!

No Excuse

One of my favorite course, I played it 3 times a month last year. I cannot believe that there was not one water cooler on the course. I have no problem with a cart person was not available, but its pretty bad there was no water available.

Bring your control game

The fairways were tight the greens made it all worth the pain. The roughs were thin allowing balls to be misplaced quite easily.

I really enjoyed the challenge and will visit again.

Walden Golf Club

My wife and I really enjoy Walden. It's our go to course when we play local. Tee times are readily available at a moderate price. It's a fun but difficult course and the pace of play is always good!

Afternoon at Walden Country Club

The staff attitude to a visitor was not welcoming. The pro shop was closed with a note to go to the bartender upstairs. Staff in the office was not helpful either even in giving direction to the putting green. Supposedly there was a tournament which had ended at least more than 30 minutes before I arrived since I saw most of them leaving as I pulled into the parking lot. When the guy in the pro shop finally returned, he was quite helpful and friendly. The others acted as if they did not want me there. I was there for a round of golf not to take up residence. Course layout is excellent and the greens rolled through and through. Fairways were in good condition. A very good course for the money except for the poor and prejudiced attitude of the staff.

Course is fairly short but also decently tight on several holes. A ball gobbler! Some holes there are houses in play for sure.

If not for the geese...

The geese do a better job of maintaining the course than the grounds crew. Bridges were more than rickety. Trees seemed like they had never been trimmed. Pathways not clearly marked. Quite the experience.

Always a good round

Course was in good shape. Greens were very good, even though they were aerated. Ball rolled true. It wasn't too crowded, but pace of play was still good. Good layout, with, I think the back nine a little tougher. Fairways arre tight, lined with tees.

Horrible Course

Horrible condition, patchy and uncut fairways, rough was all over the place, sand traps need new sand. Greens are surprisingly nice. Geese poop everywhere.

Staff is slow, they often have the pro shop close and make you go to the bar to check in to play golf, recently went up and waited 15 mins because they had to tend bar and get food and drink orders. Just gave up and left, will not be coming back here
