Good shape!
Course played nice at ok at price. Only complaint is that the greens were a bit rough from ball marks and actual spike marks, like olden days, around every hole.
Golfer have to do their part
The rough was lumpy and there was so areas that needed work. The worst parts of the course were the greens and sand traps. Golfer are expected to repair THEIR ball marks and divots and to rake the sand traps after exiting.
It is obvious that the golfers on this course are not. Sad.
Poor Planning
This is the first time I have ever expressed my views of a golf round on Golfnow. I almost never complain about any type of service I receive.
The problem is that I was in one of two early afternoon tee times wedged in between two high school team tryouts. We followed the last group of a local high school tryout and you could easily tell that these kids were just beginning to learn the game and had no concept of pace of play. We were patient until the start of the back nine when there were 4 groups on the 10th hole. We gave up after 12 holes and 4 hours. I don't blame the kids as much as the course because they hold lots of junior events including high school matches. 6 hour rounds are the norm. Why they opened up 2 twosomes in the midst of these kids was just to make a few extra bucks. No rangers anywhere.
Just ok
My experience was just ok. It was a crowded day and very hot, none of which was anything that the course could control. However, there were several attendants working the course that were way too eager to show what their jobs were by coming up to us at almost every hole to tell us what was ok and not ok to do at the course. Driving the cart on the course is a luxury but turns it into a burden when employees are over-zealous. Tone it down a bit and let the golfers enjoy their round. It’s not a cheap experience.
Another good day at Walden Ponds
Course is in good shape but traps still need some work as they are mostly dirt and inconsistent.
Good layout and tees for all skill levels.
Ranger and beverage cart were active, which is a good thing!
Acres of beautiful fairways. Great shape compared to other courses during the hot weather.
Great Track
Fun place to play. A 50 min drive from KY but worth it. I have never been a big fan of courses that are designed through subdivisions, but the houses are far enough away to not make it a nuisance. It is a great design. Some long par 4s and short ones as well. Par 5s challenging but reachable in 2 in some cases. 6th hole maybe too short to be a par 5, but still fun. I am going to miss playing this track when I move in a month. Glad I played it one last time. Go give it a try. You will enjoy it.
Enjoyable layout
Great day and enjoyed course. White tees are too short for a par 72. Should be 300 -400 yards longer.
Great course
This was a great course. Very beautiful scenery. It was hot the day we were there and it had rained heavy the night before so we had to stay on the cart paths. It was still fun but our wives could only make it for 9 holes. That was not a problem, they just sat in the bar and had a couple drinks.
Challenging but fair.
Great layout. Wide fairways so you do not have to be exact off the tee. Fun course that you can score on, but there are places to run up your score, especially hole #4. The par threes can be a challenge.
Last review
It was a great day and I don't do reviews.
Don't expect another
Perfect day for golf on a nice course
What would have made this a perfect rating were the lack of bona fide sand in the bunkers. The material is a mixture of sand and dirt, some more dirt than sand and when the dirt dries is makes the balls stand up when it comes to rest. In places the rough is too long may be due to excessive rain the previous week.
Rain rain go away
Only got to play 13 holes before being rained out. Course doing well working around the rain.
Booked but golf course didn’t have my tee time
Golf now charged my credit card 3 times then cancelled the tee time, Icalled the course, they never received my tee time even though my credit card was charged 3 times for convenience fee. Golf now wouldn’t refund my credit card
By the way I didn’t play!!!!!
Slipping?
As much as I love this course, the staff etc etc, it pains me to see the course becoming tough round the edges. Bunkers are a disgrace. Holding water, when there is no water there's no sand and when there is sand it seems to be cheap and full of stones. Greens have taken an age to come around this year, maybe due to early aeration. It's still a great course just hope this isn't a steady money saving decline.
Love this course
One of my favorite tracks. Always in good shape and just always enjoy playing there. Deals are always a bonus but even without it worth it every time. Need to play there more.
