Don’t play here in the fall

With fall ball leaves are expected but the amount on the greens are crazy. Bring a leaf blower. Greens are early in good condition. Good course for the value I suppose, during the week.

Save your money, stay away.

The course conditions were horrible. The greens were nearly impossible to putt on. The tee boxes didn’t have any grass. This is an extremely tough course if you’re a beginner as homes line the fairways. Almost every hole has a hazard. Leaves haven’t been blown, so you end up losing well hit balls in broad daylight. I will never return to this course again.

Bad shape

It was the worst condition in years. Greens way too bushy...putting was near impossible. Zero grass in tee boxes. Little to no grass in most fairways...and mostly just dirt. It used to be a nice little course...long way from there on this day.

Greens were the worst

Walden has gone down the drain as far as coarse conditions fairways, bunkers ,greens basically the whole coarse just terrible conditions .The Hoa that runs the place needs to go out and play round see for them selves but they don’t play . Place was great under the Palmer umbrella. I learned how to play golf at Walden when it was private and I truly believe it’s a great coarse just needs some serious maintenance performed. The greens speed was probably 25 or worst.

One of my Fave

Walden CC will always be one of my favorite courses to play because of its layout and how challenging it can be. It is also pretty convenient for me as it’s a 12-minute drive. The staff are very friendly. The course conditions aren’t always good, but for as long as I’ve played here, it has been lift-clean-and-place from

tree line to tree line because of its condition. I’ve learned how to play this course and enjoy the challenge it poses. It is definitely one of my favorite courses to play because it makes me aware of where my game is.

Nice course to learn on

I took my two sons golfing for the first time in a long time. The pace was perfect, we didn't feel rushed and kept pace with the other golfers. A good course for beginners or those who want to play a course that is a good value and has a friendly staff. The only negative comment would be that it doesn't have a practice range and the practice putting green needs a lot of work.

Meh at best.

This was my first time playing Walden. The use of country club is very liberal. This is a course literally sandwiched in a neighborhood. Fairways are very tight with houses in close play. There are also tons of trees and a bunch that hang over the fairway which isn't ideal. Lots of doglegs and blind shots. Not much water on course and no bev cart so bring your own. Greens were littered with crabgrass and large portions of the green unplayable. The young man in the pro shop or walk in closet as I call it was very polite and helpful. Course looks over used and under maintained. I think with a lot of TLC it could be a nicer course than what it currently is.
