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
Pairing up.
Course was fantastic. Normally, I do not mind being paired up especially when I play solo but today they paired me with a mom and her two sons. Pretty sure they'd have much rather enjoyed the time together without a stranger. This is the first negative thing I've had to say about this course.
Nice wide fairways
The Walker course was a fair test. Wide fairways kept the pace of play moving even for off target drives. The greens were mostly flat, but very fast. Various tees allowed you to select your challenge.
The practice facilities are top notch with a driving range, putting green, chipping green, and sand practice area. Every course should provide these practice facilities.
The back nine has some fantastic views of the lake. The wind off the lake makes these holes even more challenging, especially the signature par three 17th hole.
Tips
Play this course every chance I get. Tips are quite challenging, especially the par 3's and par on 9 gains a stroke on the field. Shot 85 from tips today.
Go GAMECOCKS!
Course seems to be better every time I play it. Only one course in the area that matches this course that being Cateechee. I will continue to play here every chance I get. We're it not for the steep initiation fee I think I'd become a member.
WOW, what a course and what a day!!
A perfect day of golf on a superb golf course with good friends and good weather.
Early season but the Walker Course has green grass in their fairways. The greens were in excellent condition and putted as true as you’d ever want them.
We were greeted by a friendly host in the pro shop, Chuck, who welcomed us to Clemson.
The starter was also friendly and welcoming. Give a “time sheet” of 4 hours and 12 minutes for our round we were ready to go to the first tee. We struggled a little on the straight but tricky par 5, we were off and running.
We’re ready to go back to the Walker Course in the very near future.
Get ready for a fun and challenging day when you book your next round in Clemson at the Walker course.
Great course.
Fun course with lots of variety and lake views.
Very good course
Good design and a well maintained and managed golf course. Great value for money.
Challenging holes through out, especially from the back tees. Interesting par 3s and 5s. A good combination of short but tricky par 4s and brutish par 4s (#9 is a memorable hole!). Scenic routing on the back nine. Greens are full of very subtle and not so subtle breaks.
Not an easy course to walk - the back 9 is a tough trudge.
A must play in upstate South Carolina. No wonder it is rated the #1 college golf course in the US.
Great experience
I have played the Walker a few times and often invite visitors from out of town. The staff are always professional and friendly and the course in top condition, despite the recent snow and heavy rain in the Upstate. The quality of the food and service at the grill is also outstanding, Keep up the good work guys.
