Pace of play

It’s ridiculous how much they rush you through this course with the starter hounding you like a Hawk through 9 holes just because THEY book so many golfers back to back . It’s ridiculous. Never seen anything like it. Don’t want to golf there anymore.

A sub two-hour 9???

Yup, I said it - a sub two-hour round at Waveland.

The course was surprisingly very empty this morning. Best condition I have seen this track ever. Fairways were mowed, bunkers were plush, the greens were soft and receptive (super slow pace). The tee boxes, especially on 9, were a bit janky, Overall, great morning out by the lake.

Good job crew… all your work has produced a gem.

Affordable and overall good conditions. patience is required - very slow pace of play!

Great value. Course was in very good conditions. Friendly staff. VERY slow pace of play; took about 2.5hrs to play 9. Although we waited 5-10mins at just about tee box (aside from hole 1), this course is ideal for those looking to squeeze in a game without venturing outside of the city. I plan on coming back - maybe tomorrow!

Excellent condition

The course is in excellent condition. Many times I’ve played there and the rough was to long. This course has a lot of beginners and having a unmanicured rough really slows the pace of play. Was done in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Played at 11:00.

Good local course in the city

Course is full size which is great for the city! Solid 9 hole course. No practice green area which is a little frustrating, and the greens were a bit bumpy. Other than that it was pleasantly well kept. Fairway was pretty firm for April, and tee bacons could be in better condition. A couple boxes it was hard to find a flat clean place to stand with how torn up they were.
