Walnut Lane is a fine golf course. Yes, it's condititioning and presentation leaves a lot to be desired, but it's a fun course, and a good deal for residents regardless.
It's very overgrown and could definitely use a trim in regards to trees and overgrowth. I haven't played it since last summer, however, the greens were in pretty good shape. When I played the course, it was firm and fast...and very fun. Perhaps people expect a golf course to be bright Augusta green, but I found found the brown tinge to be beautiful.
Room for improvement? Absolutely, but let's not sellout a course that provides a community a great recreational sport at a great price. Plus, the course is a successful First Tee facility.
Additionally, Dalessandro's Steaks is two tenths of a mile from Walnut Lane and only a 5-minute walk...a great start or finish to your WL round!
