The good- the greens are in great shape.

The bad - the rest of the course is in poor condition.

Easy round

Enjoyable round, very few golfers out. Never had to wait. Greens in great shape!

Traps needed work after all the rain the previous few days.

Much Improved

This place is 180 degrees different than 2 years ago. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were all in great conditions. Greens were lightning fast. Friendly staff. Nice carts. Cold beer. What else can I say. Highly recommended.

Course in great shape

I was very impressed with this course. You can tell they're trying to improve it. Can't beat the course for $30 on a hot deal. It's a fair but challenging course.

Walden Golf Course in the winter

Playing golf in February on a seasonally warm day is a rare event in Maryland and my expectation of the course conditions was on par for this time of year. Expect I saw no "work in progress to maintain the course" while playing as I did at PB Dye course in Frederick MD and Waverly Woods in Woodstock MD which I played in the last two weeks. The weather was high 50's & sunny at Walden, while I loved the difficult challenge of the front nine holes, I did not like the tons & tons of Canadian Goose droppings everywhere. Yes, everywhere. The back nine has very little of that goose droppings and that layout has 5 holes from the original Golden Triangle days, but those holes looked tried and unaspiring even though I enjoy the nostalgia of playing them again after 30 years. My first "birdie" ever came on the now 15th hole, 31 years ago. From what I observed, I just don't see the club doing much to replace old unreadable tee marker signs , let alone clean up and improve the landscape to enhance the overall visual appearance of the course layout. I'll come back again one more time this summer to play and hopefully I'll be proved wrong about the lack of up-keep. But the tale-tell signs are there.

Good value for the price, though I escaped the pain of losing many balls. I can see that on a bad day or lack of confidence, you can loose lots of golf balls on Holes 2 thru 8 and hole 11.

Wish I had the time back

Just an overall poor experience. The course was in bad shape, the facilities are tired, the staff was fine, but seemed to be punching a clock. I would not be surprised AT ALL to learn of this place closing down. Was supposed to play somewhere else, got stuck here, wish I had kept driving and just made the trip over the bridge to greener pastures.

Fair

Course was open, not many players. Tee boxes were adequate, greens were above average, ball marks not fixed. (poor attitude by players). Fairways show signs of a harsh summer.

I enjoyed my day.

The cart ball/club washer did not have water & the divot replacement plastic jug did not have anything inside.

Also, with the heat & humidity yesterday three water jugs where empty. NOT GOOD.

Poor conditions

The layout is pretty good and the fairways are tight which is a nice challenge. But the course is in poor shape. Terrible tee boxes and bunkers. Fairways are average. But the greens are in good shape. Talked with a worker in the clubhouse who said the courses previous owners weren't taking care of it. He said they've worked on the greens which is noticeable. Course could eventually be nice if they keep repairing it but I'm not returning any time soon.
