Walden Golf Club

I enjoyed the layout, and so did my girlfriend. There is lots of water and traps. Bunkers were not raked, some tee boxes were being repaired and the course is definitely being set up for next summer. But we had fun and really enjoyed the course. There is no driving range, so think about hitting balls before you get to the course.

Walden is a hybrid course, with an original back nine layout and a newer front nine. Some of the holes, like the par 5 2nd, border on ridiculous. Even after a good drive, to go for the green in two requires a difficult shot from a downhill lie to a tiny green surrounded by hazards. Even a layup is difficult, since the landing area is not clearly visible and the fairway slopes to the left into a lateral hazard.

Some of the holes on the original back nine are also quite difficult. The par 5 10th is difficult to reach even in three shots since a transverse water hazard requires a layup on the 2nd shot unless you hit a monster drive.

Conditioning is an issue on some of the greens. The course was originally semi-private but I suspect they are having trouble maintaining a membership base.

Played this course in prime of summer. Course was rock hard and poorly maintained. You were better off in the rough, some grass, then the fairway which played like concrete. I would spend your time and money at better courses such as Renditions or Cross Creek then play here!

It was excellent even there were no sign boards at many holes. Tks

Its a good practice facility, no driving range (2-spots) hitting into a net? For the most part it's getting better everytime I play, this being the 4th time in 2012. Still needs some work but it looks as they are putting in the effort.

Great little course. Course length is less than 6,000 yrds, so great for someone like me who isn't a long ball hitter.

this course was a very pleasant surprise. a lot of beauty on many holes. fairways and greens were in decent shape this late in the season. way too many leaves on too many greens, however; a little more effort to remove them would have been appreciated. they could improve playing conditions by adding more yardage markers -- they're too hard too find right now. a few marshals would have sped up the pace of play, which was a bit too slow.

the mix of very short and medium par 4s was fun. the longish par 3s were excellent and challenging. at under 5900 yards, the white tees are a bit short; but the green tees were longer than we wanted. another set of tees in between the current whites and greens would be great.

will definitely want to play this course again in the future, but only in spring or early summer (without all the leaves). also, some will be turned off by all the houses on the majority of holes, but we didn't find them a problem.

I had off the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and wanted to get out and play. Most public courses in the Baltimore area were packed. I found this course on Golfnow and got a hot deal to play for $17. The course was virtually empty. It was in good shape for November and I was very impressed with the shape of the greens. My only complaint was the lack of yardage markers and signs on the course to show which way to drive to each hole. It looked like many hole signs were down so maybe they are fixing things up for next season. I would play here again.

The course was actually in very good condition. I really enjoyed playing it and the fairways were in great shape on most holes and the greens were smooth and clean. There were the occasional sand spots on the greens but only on a few holes. Overall the course was on very good shape. They did a great job of leaf removal in the fairways and most of the rough.

Course was in good condition. Pace of play was fine with minimal waiting time. Only complaint was with the traps--they appeared to be hard packed sand which was very hard to hit out of. Don't know whether i was the sand itself, or simply not have been raked or fluffed-up for a long time. Lost several strokes playing out of this near-concrete condition which seemed to be the case for all of the traps.

The greens on this course are a 10/10. And the fairways are 9/10. The course plays hard even from the white tees. Course is really good condition for this time of year!

I have been playing this course since it was a 9-hole track known as Golden Triangle. I've always found the layout to be excellent and very challenging, however the course conditions need some improvement. There was some fairway and rough aeration in progress the day I played, which may be possibly a start to the needed improvements. The greens are true, in fair condition and roll quite well. I played with a friend on 09/28/2012 and we pretty much had the course to ourselves. We played in under 4hrs. and had a few beers afterward, served by a friendly staff. The regular rates are too pricey, but I got a great deal through GolfNow. I shall return!

This course ranks among the top 3 worst courses in the Baltimore/DC area. The fairways were downright aweful. Course was not maintained whatsoever. Do not pay full price to play this course I Played for half price ($30) and even that was too much.

This was a private Country Club that just went public summer 2012. I can see why. I have never played a course in such terrible condition. the "fairways" were basically shortly cut crab grass and mud. It was a terrible experience. I left after playing 6 holes and went and played another course. What a waste of a day off from work!
