The first time I played Tobacco Road we let a group of local high school players that were walking play through. I thought it was insane that anyone would try to walk this course.
Years later, I started walking it and it’s not as tough as it looks. There are some steep climbs (9) and long green to tee walks (12 to 13, and 13 to 14) on the back 9 were the routing gets a little disjointed.
When you cartball there you are riding high on the sides of holes but when you’re walking you end up walking mainly through the flatter topography of the property. When I tell someone I walk TR they are shocked but I think most (especially on this forum) could handle it and enjoy the course more.
