Great course and greens

Overall the course is in great shape and the greens are excellent. Love playing the course but they need someone on course to help with pace of play. Made the turn and there were 4 groups on one hole. Waited all day after the first 3 holes.

#9

Course is always fantastic! Bonus replay only cost 10$ per 9. Practice facilities are best in the area by far. #18 is playing as a temporary par 3 because they are having to shorten it due to a new clubhouse\ business center. Once completed it will go back to playing a risk\reward par 4. Our 4 some all parred #9. That's unheard of playing from tips as it's in the 460 yard range with trouble everywhere including false front that feeds anyball short of green 10 yards down embankment to a pond.

Great afternoon of golf!

Course was wet, but very playable. Staff was great and the greens were really nice.

Terrible greens. Wet. Slow play

Unreceptive greens that don’t putt consistently.

Zoysia should never be used for a greens complex.

Always wet even in a drought.

Slow play. Slow play. Slow play.

Neither the men’s nor the women’s golf team will play or practice here. This is not their home course! Why, you ask, see above.

Greens are terrible. Course is always wet. Slow play

This could be a great course BUT the greens are terrible. No self respecting golf course should ever use Diamond Zoysia grass for a green. Inconsistent breaks on the same line when putting. HORRIBLE GREENS! If you’re a member anywhere and the management proposes Diamond Zoysia for the greens, FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY!

Also, when constructed the grading company didn’t understand the basic concepts of drainage. This place is always wet, even in a drought.

Slow play. God forbid you get behind slow players. The staff won’t speed them up and the players won’t allow you through.

Always in good condition!

Even on a rainy cold day they still sent out the beverage and snack cart. Good for golfers, not so much for the attendant. Beautiful golf course. Still wish they'd make #9 a par 5 and convert 5 into a par 4. Make the front play a little easier.

Great day. Wet course.

Walker is a solid course. We played the day after heavy rain and it was pretty soggy. It’s. Great course however at the Golf Now price. Full rate is pricey for the area.

The Day Was Cool But We Had A Wonderful Day on The Walker Course

Great staff, very friendly. Starter was friendly and efficient. The course was wet from all the rainfall but playable. Greens were in great shape and very quick-quick-quick.

Our foursome is ready to go back again soon.
