Walden Golf Club

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.

Greens were in bad shape, off line balls were lost in the rough

Course conditions were very poor, hence the rating.

We got through the front nine holes at a good pace, but got backed up on the back nine. It took 4.5 hours to play the round. Some of the greens were in poor condition.

It’s been a while since I played this course. The course was very well kept and the staff is friendly. I will play this course again very soon and I will recommend this course to my friends.

The fairways are thicker and taller than the rough on any other course I have played. We legitimately lost several balls that landed in the fairway. We saw countless balls throughout the day on the fairway that were cut in half by the mower because clearly this is a consistent issue. The greens had mud patches and crab grass all over. Some bunkers were ok while others were completely overgrown and unplayable. By far the worst course I have played this year.

Lots of layup holes. Condition of course was lacking. Greens were in some holes very bad. They had some type of grass encroaching onto them. Given it was very wet in some spots with some TLC could be a nice course

Fairways were in decent shape, but most greens were torn up and cement-like.

This place has some of the worst course conditions I've seen. Pretty much every aspect of the course was in bad shape. Tee boxes were half dirt. Greens were burnt out. Fairways weren't much different from the rough. It's a shame cause the layout is actually decent and pretty interesting. It's a very tight course and punishes anything slightly offline. No water coolers and no cart ladies, which just added insult to injury in the heat. It might be acceptable if the price was really cheap, but it wasn't even that cheap at around $60. I could look the other way if this was a $30 course, but it doesn't provide the quality you'd expect at its price point.
