I will play there Wednesday of next week. The greens fee includes cart but I would like to walk if they allow it and there are no great distances between holes like some courses.

There are some GREAT distances between holes; #9 green to #10 tee is enough to wind me (and I'm in decent shape, cardio-wise). Long and uphill. #1 green to #2 tee, and I think 6-7 has some distance. Same with #11 green to #12 tee.

I prefer to walk most courses, and I feel I play better when I walk, but when I play Talega, I use a cart. I've never walked there, but I think they allow it on some times. But even I can't imagine it for some of the holes.

Oh, and enjoy the course. It's easily in my top-5 of courses I've played. Absolutely gorgeous and typically in great condition. If you have any issues, the course staff are quick to attend to it. I once had a cart die as we reached the tee for the first par-3 on the back; we called for a replacement, hit our tee shots, and walked to the green. By the time we holed out, our replacement cart had arrived.

I think by now you've played it, but no. No way is it a walkable course. It is a beautiful course though.

And a yellow ball.

    • He’s also the best anchoring putter there is!😏
    • And  he  has had alot  of  health issues as you expect  from someone still playing at  67
    • Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting. 
    • To still be winning tournaments at 67 is quite incredible. He must also be the youngest person to have shot his age or better by however many times he's done it. Amazing.
