Played right after a hurricane so unfortunately missing a lot of trees, but very pretty course and incredibly well maintained. Tiny pro shop and snack shack sort of thing. Kind of nice not having a clubhouse, and great track for the money.

I’ll always have a soft spot for Walker since it’s the golf course from my Alma mater. Great value and a fun layout. Tiger paw green on 17 is super special and the back 9 on the water is really cool. If in the area it’s worth it.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Pickens, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
