Great First Experience !

First time to play this course and will definitely play it again. Fun layout with challenges for all levels, long par fours and short par fours and the same is true for the par three's. Some water comes into play the only downside were the traps, which were rather hard and not much sand. Overall a great place to come play.

Greens recently aerated

Waldon Ponds has always been one of my favorite course in the Cincinnati area. However, the greens had been recently aerated and most of the greens did not have sand applied to fill in the holes. May have been the worse putting conditions that I have played. I'll make sure I will wait a few weeks before playing this course again. The greens were so bad that I thought about asking for a refund.

It usually a great course and will be again in a couple of weeks.

Nice course, even playing under winter conditions. Very playable course with a wide variation in tees, making the course as long, or as short as you desire. Greens were relatively smooth for the 1st of March. Staff is extremely friendly and accomadating.

Great course.

It was cart path only which is to be expected this early in Spring. Very wet but fairways and greens were good. Fun layout with bunkers and water that could be avoided with a little effort. Shot my lowest score so my ego will insist I return soon.

It was a slight sold windy day. We were behind 3 foursomes that was slow. Walden Pond was in very good shape for December. I remember playing when Golf courses developed temporary greens and you played Winter Rules because of the conditions/shape of Golf Course.
We are blessed today to play on a Course like Walden Pond that is in Very good Shape.

Slow pace

Course was great but pace of play terrible. Busy day but group in front of were 3 holes behind by the time we finished. No one at course checking pace and the group in front of us saw us waiting on every shot but never thought about letting us through. Poor etiquette and no ranger will keep me from returning to this course.
