Staff Fail
We played this course early and this course is usually great. This time all of the daily upkeep seemed to take priority over golf. Every hole on the front nine there was a mower and a sand guy that would not stop or get out of the way of our playing. I wonder if they always do this but will not find out as for the money they charge is not worth having to hit into greens with someone walking around oblivious to paying customers playing golf.
4 Handicap - excellent course
This course was in great shape, the day after severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. The holes have shot shaping challenges, good distance, small challenging greens that were easily rolling a 10 or 11… a lot of the challenge is hitting the ball close to the hole. If you have a 30 foot putt, try not to three putt!
Great day!
We very much enjoyed the round, the course is beautiful and in very good shape. There was a windstorm earlier in the day so there was a little debris on the greens. The greens are in great shape. The staff are always very friendly. The group ahead of us thought they were playing for big bucks as they really took their time, but all in all, a great day on the course.
Disappointed
Rumors that DT bought this course and made big changes. Guess that went south with the stadium.
Great course
Staff was friendly. Course was in great condition. Food and beer was good
Fun day
I was in town for a couple days and had enough time to play a round so I looked for places near me on Golf Now. After reading the reviews , I decided on Waterford. I was greeted with a smile and some fun small talk Driving range and putting green happened to be closed , but those facilities looked nice (didn’t appear to be a permanent closure). They paired me with a very nice local regular who gave me course knowledge. I will never judge a golf course on the condition of the cart paths so I will move on. Some if the tee boxes need some attention, but it did not affect my play. Fairways and greens were great. And lastly, the bar had a great choice of beverages and food. I took advantage of one of the many very cold draft beers. Served to me by a very fun bartender. I recommend the course and I will definitely be back when I’m in town.
Worth It
Waterford is one of those course that you just enjoy. Challenging enough to make one debate which club to choose off the tee. The approach depends on pin placement. I have spent hundreds of dollars on places like Old Sycamore, and Sycamore’s greens are like putting on flat turds. Very similar to coming home after a round of golf and your wife going, “I need more food for door dash,” and she’s 5’3 184 pounds (lowball). The greatest part is the value. I really do enjoy Waterford’s layout. Looking forward to true Spring Conditions. Also, I hope whoever runs Old Sycamore is told that those yuppies and boomers ruin the air we breathe. Can’t wait to hear how bad they are doing over there.
Great Greens
This was my second time playing Waterford. It had rained lots the day before so the course was very soggy. Not much they can do about that. Greens were in excellent condition, especially for this time of year. Rolled very true, not a single bad spot on any of them. Fun course for sure that I would recommend trying out.
March 8th
The course was completely saturated due to rain. Therefore, it required A LOT of walking since it was carts on path. You cant control pace of play under those conditions.
Great Course
I have a short window to play, Easy schedule, friendly staff, Course regulars were super nice as well
Enjoyable Golf Course
As an older Golfer, I like this course because you really can’t get into a lot of trouble.
There are some creek crossings but not too much water comes into play. Not many fairway bunkers and not many around the greens. The fairways are wide open, it’s well maintained and a great value overall. The greens are well maintained and they change the pin placements regularly.
It’s always well staffed and the onsite food is good and features lots of options.
