Walking Stick Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience Walking Stick Golf Course?

You'll find the shoulder seasons offer ideal conditions and fewer crowds here. Spring (April-May) provides lush fairways and comfortable temperatures before the summer heat, while early fall (September-October) brings stunning foliage and crisp air, making for a truly memorable round.

What's the biggest challenge or most memorable hole at Walking Stick?

You'll definitely remember the par-3 14th, often called "The Canyon." It demands a precise shot over a deep ravine to a well-guarded green, and anything short is gone. Don't let the panoramic views distract you - this hole is a true test of nerve and club selection.

Is Walking Stick Golf Course truly walkable, or should I plan on taking a cart?

Despite the name, Walking Stick is quite spread out, especially on the back nine with some significant climbs between holes. While you *can* walk it for a serious workout, we highly recommend a cart to conserve energy and fully enjoy the round, particularly during warmer months.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Walking Stick, and is it worth it?

Green fees typically range from $60-$90, depending on the season and time of day, with twilight rates often offering excellent value. For the quality of conditioning and the unique mountain-desert blend of scenery, we think it's an excellent value and a course you'll want to play again.

How are the practice facilities at Walking Stick, and what's your advice for warming up?

The practice area is solid - you'll find a decent driving range with grass tees and a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's subtle breaks. We always recommend spending extra time on the chipping green; the greens here have some tricky run-offs that are good to get a feel for.
