Walking Course

A golf course specifically designed and maintained to accommodate golfers who prefer to walk rather than ride in carts. Walking courses typically feature shorter distances between greens and tees, flatter terrain, and strategic routing that minimizes unnecessary elevation changes. These courses often promote traditional golf values and provide health benefits through exercise. Many prestigious courses worldwide, including St. Andrews and Pinehurst No. 2, are designed as walking courses where the walking experience is considered integral to the golfing challenge and enjoyment.
