Making a comeback!?

Since my last review I have been really impressed with what I’ve seen at WCC. The greens are starting to take shape again and aspiring to their old glory. It is obvious to me, as often as I play the course, that WCC is making a comeback. I play WCC on average 2-3 times a week, I love the course layout and the challenge it poses. I am excited to see the WCC comeback process.
The staff at WCC are very friendly and accommodating…within reason. As far as off course amenities go, the food is pretty good and reasonably priced. I also love their short-game practice area.
I am impressed with what I see. Keep up the good work!

I really want this course to succeed

I have played this course many times in the past 24 years. More in the beginning and was and could be a great place to play. Sadly it looks more like an abandoned course with someone that cuts whatever grows in the fairways. The trees have not been trimmed in years blocking parts of the fairway that it was never designed to block. The bunkers have weeds growing in them but still have rakes. Im afraid that if they can’t thrive in this current golf craze where every place is booked all day, it can’t survive at any time. Im sad because of its unique design. It was designed by two different men so it really is like playing two courses. I don’t know if it’s ownership or lack of vision but either fix it up to the great and fun course it could be or let it die completely. It’s too hard to watch it fade away.

Not Ready for Prime time!

This course is not ready for the average or better-than-average golfer. Tee boxes and most of the fairways are full of crabgrass. The grass that has been cut on the course has not been removed so it makes it even harder to find your ball. The course needs serious work and fast. If you going to play with your son or daughter it might be the right course other than that stay away!

Better options

Course was in rough condition, even for the end of summer. Fairways were long and mainly weeds. Greens were long and wet c with a lot of dead spots. Tee boxes were bare. Definitely would have composed a different course.

Improvement

Greens were cut so speed was good and rolling nice. Fairways were cut they just need a good fairway mower. Rough was obnoxiously deep in many areas. they need to get more equipment and staff to keep up with mowing. Finally bunkers are embarrassing. Fill them in and mound them and allow fescue to grow tall like at Eisenhower.

Fallen Apart

I’ve always been a fun of Walden because of the course layout, it’s a shot-makers course. It seems like maintaining the course is no longer a priority. Even the greens are in horrible shape. The course has fallen apart!
This is the first bad review I’ve given this course.

Rude cart staff/ bad condition

Cart staff, more specifically the older gentleman was very rude and useless. The tee boxes might as well be in the middle of the fairway due to the lack of grass. Bunkers felt like cement or they were all filled with water. Layout of the course is very cool but the conditions made it way less cool. I would never play this course again for 54$, course is 25-30$ quality. Need to work on maintenance heavily, would not recommend
