First the positives
1. Nice driving range, practise greens,
2. Good bar and grill,
3. Tricky layout, uniquely designed holes, well maintained greens
4. Whites and blue tees are quite tough. Play the silver ones or white/Silver mix to survive if you are 10+ handicap.
The bad
Q. Fairways are super narrow - so you will be in first rough a lot which is very poorly maintained. Hard as concrete and chances of losing the ball are super high. Lots of brown spots everywhere ...haven't watered.
2. Tee boxes are hard as rocks and not properly maintained- sometimes can't get the tee in.
Overall unique, tough course that is definitely below its potential.

I have been on this course several times, always a good time. I don't play well so I lose balls, but have a great time.
Played (if that is what you call what I do) last week and had a wonderful time. Course is well maintained and the employees were great to us.
Had lunch after our round of 9 and really enjoyed it. The drinks were refreshing and the food was very good.
Will be back!

I’ve been to Widow’s Walk three times now and I don’t know if I’ll be returning.
The course itself is in great shape. They have a robust practice facility. The clubhouse / outdoor bar area is beautiful. This place feels like it has it all! There are two main factors that make playing here undesirable:
1.) This course is WAY too penal. You’ll see other people saying it too. Part of the fun of golf is trying to work your way out of tricky situations and hit nice recovery shots. That can’t happen when you miss the fairway by 10 yards and your ball is gone. If you leak your clubs by 20-30 yards left to right, don’t even bother playing here. It’s a challenging course but not for desirable reasons. There is no thought that goes into playing a round of golf here. There is only one way to play every hole. A round of golf here feels more like target practice at the driving range.
2.) Every time I’ve been here, I’ve witnessed a verbal altercation of some sort. There is a strange tension here that I can’t describe. It kind of feels like everyone is walking on eggshells around each other. I don’t know if it’s the staff or the clientele, but it’s a super weird vibe I’ve never felt at any other course.
