I don’t know what happened between then and now but much of the course is overgrown with weeds ! Some of the greens were peppered with weeds, the kind that will definitely affect putting .

Tee boxes were a mix of good and bad .

The course is a great layout and very challenging depending on which tee box is used.

Tough call on an overall rating. Maybe an C+ or A -
Walnut Grove is on the schedule for complete renovations in 2025 so I can only assume, “if we’re going to kill everything then why waste $$$ on maintenance now” Most complete renovations have started around February so they can be completed before the next snow bird season beginsl
