Beautiful course but very noisy

Beautiful setting and great course but lots of distractions. For instance, hole 18 is a problematic tee shot which has a pavilion just up the hill with some kind of awards ceremony going on. Very loud and very distracting, but other than that it was good.

A must play

As always Walker didn't disappoint. This is easily the best public course in the area. Lush fairways and fast, receptive greens. Bunkers are always great too. Practice facilities are top notch. Zero complaints here.

Greens are unreceptive and speeds are inconsistent.

Always wet. Poorest drainage possible for a golf course.

Way too crowded. Slow play.

Great experience

Was first time and enjoyed myself. Course is beautiful and well maintained. Variety of holes of abilities. Was frustrated with group ahead playing slow and showed no respect in pace of play. Staff and course were wonderful.

Greens are unreceptive, slow and inconsistent.

Great day

First time playing the course. The course had been aerated but still was nice. The greens were a bit slow. Beautiful views of Lake Hartwell.

Blown away by this gem. We had read some good reviews before playing, but course was better than advertised. Back nine along lake is spectacular.

Pristine

I booked this course on a hot deal. It felt like stealing! This is one of the best courses I have ever played. Course was in immaculate condition. Absolutely beautiful. Shout-out to Clemson. I can’t wait to come back.
