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.

Your review, why?
Greens are unreceptive, slow and inconsistent.
Wet, always wet even in a drought. Poor drainage.
Way too crowded. Slow play everyday of the week

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.

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.

Great College Course

It's been a couple of years since I've played The Walker Course and I am happy to see it still does not disappoint. A really fun track to play.

After reading the reviews and ratings I was somewhat skeptical of the course living up to the hype, it did. Excellent layout that fairly tests all parts of your game. Be sure to enable the slope function on your rangefinder and don’t forget your camera

GO GAMECOCKS!!!!

Thanks Chip for the awesome round. Good 94 from tips. Awesome 81 for me!!!! Best score so far from tips. Clubhouse worked effortlessly to resolve issue with online booking. Greens rolled true as always. I don't think my ball hit a bump the entire round. 2 chip in's. Always good to have 0 putts. Only double was on 18. Found water, missed 4 footer for bogey.

Play it

I am going to make this a must do whenever we are in Greenville. Top notch shape. No two holes the same and the front and back are very different. I really enjoyed the back. The last few holes have gorgeous views of the lake. I had the good fortune of playing with a member who provided great advice. The starter and pro shop are the friendliest I have encountered. You will love the entire experience!

First time

First time playing for me and my son. Great, great course. Staff was awesome. All folks playing were friendly. As it was my son’s first time playing, the pace of play a lot of faster than I anticipated. For first time or novice players, beware. Other than that observation, 5 stars across the board. Highly recommend
