To clarify, my 3 stars are not intended to knock this course down. There are absolutely good things about it. Rates are fair for what you're getting. I appreciate that there are accessible and affordable courses like this where newer players won't feel intimidated to come out and play.
It's a course in the city with no par 5s. Some chainlink fences will wrap around the playing area. Some of the tee boxes and fairways were in dire shape. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the greens! It appears they're putting a lot of care into them. I'm optimistic that they'll continue to make improvements for the better!
Go give em a shot.

After more than 15 years away from Walnut Lane Golf Club, I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements. I had attempted to play late last year but decided against waiting due to frost. Finally getting back out on the course, I noticed several positive changes.
While the parking lot remains the same, the pro shop building is completely new. The addition of a small but inviting restaurant and bar adds to the experience, and the pro shop offers a solid selection of gear. There are also dedicated spaces for training facilities or meetings, which is a nice touch. The golf carts are well maintained, making for a smooth ride around the course.
As for the course itself, the improvements are noticeable. The fairways are in good shape, and the small greens provide a fun yet challenging test. There were a few patches under repair, but overall, Walnut Lane remains a solid public course. I’m looking forward to returning for another round soon.

Haven't been here for a couple of years. Wowzers. Lots of improvements!
Some tough (long) par 3's.
Had a blast. Paired with some locals and had a super fun round.
Kind of blew our minds when the ranger came by and asked us to pick up the pace. We were behind a group right off of the first tee up until he asked us to pick up the pace. How could we possibly pick up the pace when there is a group in front of us? We only had two holes left by then anyway, so I just left shaking my head. We weren't easter egg hunting or anything. Still bewildered by that one. We are all pretty good hitters too.
