The Walnut Grove Executive Golf Course is a 9-hole layout that features challenging rolling terrain but is also an approachable layout for golfers of all skill levels. The par 27 routing demands golfers make solid tee shots as many of the holes require accuracy with a long iron or wood.
Opened in 2001 and designed by the remarkable architectural firm of Clifton, Ezell and Clifton, Walnut Grove boasts scenic landscaping, and the unique course design is filled with bunkers such that errant shots can make the course a truly tough nut to crack. Most greens are closely guarded placing an added premium on the accuracy of the tee.
Measuring 1,529-yards from the longest tees, Walnut Grove Executive Golf Course is an enjoyable layout if golfers can escape the bunkers. If not, the routing also features an expansive driving range for a relaxed practice session and is where novice golfers can often pick up handy tips and useful advice. Professional golf instructors are also available for anyone looking to work on any aspect of their game.
The Walnut Grove Executive Golf Course is just one out of dozens of layouts within the gates of The Villages community. And one of the many advantages of being a Villages resident is that there’s no green fees for walking any of the 40+ executive routings, including Walnut Grove. The course is open year-round and rentals for both carts and clubs are also available, if required.
