Nice Course, Great Price

Greens were in great shape. Had a bit of a wait on a few tee boxes, but other than that no problems.

Accuracy is a premium

Most of the greens are in good condition with various breaks and mound. The fairways are not well kept. The layout is narrow and requires accuracy. The course gives you various looks and option off the tee.

Challenging and fun

I've played this course a number of times starting last year. Really enjoy the interesting layout. Staff is always friendly. Course is always in good condition. The greens were in excellent condition except for #15, which is getting better as time goes by. Tough job keeping that one up to par. Tip of the cap to the greens keeper on the job done since last year. Hole #2 has got to be one of the toughest holes on this course and deserves the rating of #1 handicap. It could also be in the running for one of the most difficult holes in the area.

Great value for money

There were only two problems,,,,1) the weather...it had rained everyday for last week or so and this course is in a river basin so it was very wet in area, but the greens were remarkable even with all the rain. 2) Quite possibly the slowest round of golf I ever played. 4 kids in front of us who thought they were Tiger Woods waiting for greens to clear to hit second shots twice as far as their tee balls went. No crime in being a bad golfer, but horrible crime in being a SLOW golfer. A roving marshal would have helped. 5 hours 43 minutes to play a 6000 yard course is painfully slow, considering I normally play it in under 3 by myself and 4:20 with a foursome. So add a roving marshal! Love the place though and for the money no better value in Maryland!

Good Shape

This was the fourth time I've played this course this year and it's in the best condition....played Friday morning at 9am and never had to wait in a hole...great value and would def recommend playing....two suggestions.....fill bunkers with sand I was able to putt out if them twice due to no sand and the course needs better yardage markers other than that nice course and can't wait to play again

Looking forward to going back

Pace of play after 5:15pm was a little slow (maybe due to a women's league). Fairway and greens were in great condition.

Okay for casual round

This was my first time playing Walden. My buddy and I were a twosome, and st check in everything was straightforward and we were told to see the starter. We went straight there and waited 15, but never saw a starter, so we just teed off at our start time (with no one ahead of us). By hole 2, we had caught up with the 3some ahead of us, and it was a slow day from there, waiting for every shot. They had groups ahead of them, too, so playing through wouldn't have helped. We weren't in a hurry, but it would have frustrated me on a different day. It seemed like most of the golfers on course that day were newbies.

Course conditions were okay, but not great. Sandy tee boxes, some bare spots on some greens, no ball washers on course. Interesting layout on some holes, but also some pretty short, straightforward par-4's. I'd play it again (close to my buddy's house), but only for a cheap, casual round when I have time to burn.

Fun

Paid about $34 per person in our foursome booked through the online site. Had a great time playing the course. A good amount of the tee boxes were either full of sand or very messed up. Would definitely like the play this course again. One thing I did not like tho was there were basically no markers to tell you how far away from the hole we were and the yardage on the score cards were often wrong on the par 3's. Overall tho, the course was a lot of fun to play and I would definitely play it again.

Muni Style Course

Got a great deal from Golf Now so played it on Memorial Day. Rough is a little spotty and a couple of weird blind shots off the tee. Other than that, not many courses open to the public near Annapolis and this was an unexpected surprise. On par with Compasses Point, Bay Hills, and others in AAC and maybe a little better.

Crabby

Fairway grass over grown & full of crab grass. Weird Course design, you cross so many public roads. Most holes feel the same!! The first and the last time I play here. Let me sum it up this way. I wouldn't play for free!!!

"Almost all the way back"

This course has come a long way in a short period of time. The greens were rolling true and the fairways are cut nicely. Our only gripe was the bunkers but you should not be in those anyway. Hole 2 is still one of toughest holes around. We played this little gem in 3hrs 40mins. The golf now price and challenges of narrow holes make this lots of fun.

great time

Booked a early tee time, was able to tee off earlier than expected. The course was in excellent shape.
The course was very challenging, I would recommend the course for everyone from a beginner to the elite.
