Walden Golf Club

I had a 7am tee time with 3 others. Staff was super friendly. Course layout is challenging as it is very narrow and you have to play smart golf as the fairways are broken up in several areas. The tee boxes were horrific, grass nearly as long as the rough so teeing off was a challenge. Not a single bunker was well maintained as they all looked like holes a forest. The greens were not well kept either, long think grass, dead spots and divots everywhere. Additionally, there is no driving range. Finally, the kitchen was not open prior to teeing off. I am fine with that due to early tee time. However, at the turn, approximately 9am, still not open. If it were during the week, I may give a pass but this was on a weekend. Will not go back as the price is not commensurate for the course or the title of “county club”. Very dissappointed.

Good place for you $, it needs real sand on bunkers or at least clean up pebbles & stones that xan damage your clubs.

The putting greens were slow, needed a cutting. Overall, got a great deal to play a round of golf with my son!

Some of the holes have narrow fairways. Some holes have houses very close to fairway. In hole #2 cannot see the pin or fairway due to the uphill nature after teeing off. We had some good Tee shots on that hole but lost our balls since the balls landed on the other side of the hill without knowing where it rolled. Also, LOTS of poison ivy.

The course is in rough shape. The tee boxes did not have grass. The greens we plugged a couple of weeks ago, have not grown back in. The back greens were slightly better. The fairways were not in good shape.
No on course cart for drinks on a Sunday afternoon.
The staff was friendly, but not enough to overcome the course conditions.

The Golf Course failed to disclose the back 9 greens were being airated and that playing 18 would mean looping around and playing the same 9 which creates a log-jam even though the course was not overly crowded. Wasn't worth the price and hassle. The 9 holes played were airated a few days before and were firm. I wish they would blow these greens off every moring, there are these small spinny long leafs all over the greens and if you don't remove them, they will effect your path/roll of the golf ball. This was my home course a long time ago, I'll play it from time to time. Its a steady -eddy on maintenance . The course is okay, nothing stands out as progress for future improvements . I enjoy the short and challenging holes. Geese crap still plaques the fairways but not as much as last year. So big PLUS for Walden CC on that, if they had anything to do with it. Friendly staff and nice little bar area to have a drink afterwards. The 18th hole , which was not available for play, it still a fun finishing hole. Maybe next time.

Some holes did not drain well after rain, but overall course was in great shape.

Plenty of grass for early spring. Greens were fair for speed. Good value for your golfing bucks. Narrow course so you have to keep it in play.

The course was nice. The course layout had much to be desired. Overall, I liked it

Back in the day this course was very nice and well maintained. I was told it was private in the past and when it went public it completely fell off. Then another educated golfer told me the front 9 was an old course and they added to it. Either way, it is now a poorly maintained course that should have costed half of what I paid to play it. Front to back, the tee-boxes were either overgrown with weeds or pure dirt. The fairways on the front 9 were narrow due to lack of OOB maintenance. The back 9 fairways were better and cleaner. The bunkers were very fluffy only due to old sand and dirt mixture. The greens were a horror show. Not a single clean roll all day and it appears that very few people give a care to fix their on green divots. Carts were dirty but worked, club house was old and needed work. Saw very few staff and it was a SUNDAY. Also, saw very few players on the course so I assume it just is not on the top of anyone's play list. I was disappointed and a fairly embarrassed for the management team of Walden. This course should consider replacing folks in their management team that are not getting the job done. I met a manager when there that should be on the short list.
