  Walkability seems to be a big issue on this site. Garland made a comment on a current thread about this topic and great courses. What are some of the best courses that require a cart?

I seem to recall that Princeville (Prince) is.

A friend of mine recently played at Harbor Town and was offered his choice of walking caddies or carts plus forecaddies.

Good to hear that! I do know that carts are not allowed off the path year round, though....

As discussed, Black Rock..

Off the top of my head, and checking a little on twg.com, Princeville you cannot walk, and Shadow Creek, Sanctuary, Paa-Ko Ridge, are all essentially unwalkable.

A lot of the top carribean courses you aren't allowed to walk, either, but I don't know which are considered "top 100" or not.

A lot of resort courses, the price includes cart, and I'm not sure what they'd say if you stated that you'd rather walk.

[Mark Pritchett]

I walked at Shadow Creek, my caddie however did not. 

[Jim Franklin]

I walked Shadow Creek as well. It wasn't that hard.

Sanctuary is cart only although I have heard of people walking it. Better them than me.

[Rob Rigg]

Jim and Mark,

Should Shadow Creek be "Orange - Tough Walk" instead of "Red - Essentially Unwalkable" - Thanks!

I have not played the Plantation Course in Maui but hear it is a very tough walk due to elevation change - I assume only the pros walk there during the Mercedes while everyone else takes a cart. I am hoping to walk the course in March if they let me.

[Scott_Burroughs]

I've never been under the impression that Shadow Creek was a difficult walk (haven't been there).


Rob,

Kapalua (Plantation) allows walking w/a caddie.  If you're there w/your wife, have her drive the cart w/your bag while you walk, which is what I did my one time there.  I only rode the same 3 stretches that the Tour Pros get shuttled....5 to 6, 8 tee to 8 green (totally unnecessary, IMO), and 9 green to 10 tee.

Is walking allowed at TPC Sawgrass Stadium?

[Dan King]

Are there some really good apples that are oranges?

Often it is necessary to get from one section to another over ground which is not suited to easy construction, but that troublesome hole must be made to stand right up with the others. If it has nothing about it that might make it respectable, it has to have quality knocked into it until it can hold its head up in polite society.

Should Golf Digest create a new "Best Cartball Courses" so Gladys and Louie can tootle around with their labradoodle and see the finest cartball in the country?   

  I can see future ads now . . .   "Cartball as it was meant to be."

[Richard Choi]

Kapalua Plantation is impossible to walk due to the distance between the 5th and 6th hole.

[Scott_Burroughs]

Is walking allowed at TPC Sawgrass Stadium?

Yes, with caddies.

[JMEvensky]

Is walking allowed at TPC Sawgrass Stadium?

Yes, with caddies.

I haven't played there in years.Is the caddie program recent?
