Great Track

First off the tee, so we set the pace of play, that was a great way to start the round! The course layout was challenging and suits most all levels of recreational golf players. Course recently had aerated greens to get ready for the prime time off the year...other than that, everything was great. No complaints. One of my favorite courses played in the DMV so far.

Waverly Woods- A Model of Consistancy

Although it is early in the season Waverly Woods was in its' typically very good condition. The greens need to grow in a bit but the fairways and tee boxes were ship-shape. Not many people playing so the pace of play was excellent. The staff was as courteous and helpful as ever. I am fortunate to have such an excellent public course no more that 5 minutes from my house.

Nice day but slow

Played as a twosome behind a slow foursome. Marshall passed a couple times but didn't address the slow play ahead. Two holes open in front of the foresome. Frustrating.

Great Course

Waverly Woods is a great course. Starting out with the friendly staff of Tom and Joe. The course was good shape for this time of year. The aeration throughout the course will reap benefits in a month or so. The greens rolled very good for still having aeration holes and top dressing. All around great course.

Early Year Golf at Waverly Woods

Want to play a course that comes out of the winter in better than average conditions? Play Waverly Woods. The course was in very good shape for Mid March. The Greens Crew was out blowing winter debris off the fairways. Fairways were being moved. Greens were mowed. A very pleasant experience.

Also noticed that a lot of clearing under trees was done in some areas and there was a lot of new sod in some surrounds, probably from last fall, that looks great! Kudos to the GC Superintendent and his crew.

Just a note that the greens have not grow out of winter yet. So, the poa is ahead of the bent creating a bumpy situation on some greens but that is normal for this time of year. No one should expect in season conditions in March.

Nice Course

I have played this course many times. The greens on the front were not that great today. Mainly because the weather and it is winter. When the weather gets better the greens will get better. The reset of the course was great. Tom, at check-in is always great. Great customer service with a smile.

with it being winter time this course is in great shape all around. the greens are not summer time greens but are still In great shape. the only unfortunate thing about this course is the amount of divots in the fairway from folks not replacing them.

Used GolfNow for early, quick round

All employees are friendly. Course was in decent shape, greens were consistent except for one hole that was a bit slower than the rest. Played early, so course was still a bit wet.

Was a single who joined a group of 3, had no issues with the group. Finished round in less than 4 hours.

Will def. recommend this course..

Will return in the future.

Wide open fairway!

Wide open fairway allows easy tee shots! Fairways, Green and tee boxes were in great shape! Rough was long and hard to get out. It was fairly easy course.

what happened to Waverly?

this use to be the course that you would travel out to from Baltimore / Towson to get an upscale experience. Greens used to be pristine - quick, consistent. Not this year - just horrible the 2 times i have played, back in May and now this past weekend. the rough is a mess, around the greens are awful - have to hit and chip off of bare spots, all over the place. It use to be a gem - but not any longer. seems to to have been a slow slide backwards for 2- 3 years now. Staff is stuff in general. I will continue to head up to York, when I can. Not worth the trip nor cost any longer.

Great course with reasonable price

I booked very first tee time of the day but my partner was running late and the staff was reasonable and accomodate the situation wth other players. Overall, the course was in a great condition. I definitely felt that the management really takes time and effort to keep the fairways and tee boxes in best shape. The only downside for today’s roudning was aeration of fairways at 17 & 18 without any notification. Especially, 18th hole fairways were all covered with dirt from aeration. Otherwise, I would consider Waverly as top public course in the area

nice course; fair value

This is a well designed course; fun to play albeit a bit pricey. However, tow complaints - the course today was cart path only; purportedly because there were still wet areas on some fairways. Well, no wet areas anywhere and, in fact, the sprinklers were running on several holes. So we got to, in effect, walk in 90+ degree weather for no reason. And, related, way too few drinking water opportunities (3 in total and just one for our first twelve holes - started on 10; that's just not ok in august. But, did enjoy the course which is in pretty good shape given we're far into summer weather.

Thanks for the review. There are multiple turf concerns at the moment - the biggest being what is called wet wilt. The fairways are wet from all the rain but also very hot. In some cases, we have to water just a bit to cool off the grass, even though it is wetter than we would like it to be. Many courses are suffering from these conditions. In order to avoid massive turf loss, we have to be a bit cautious with carts on fairways. Hope you understand a little better now. We have water coolers every three holes, so , not sure what happened there. Cheers!

What rain? Kudos to the Grounds Crew!

With the amount of rain this area has received over the past few days, this course is in fantastic shape! Cart paths only but no big deal. Pace of play was around 4 hours.

I expected standing water & plugged balls but not much to be found. Bunkers in good shape with little or no washout.

I was paired with locals Warren & Dave & we had a great time. Thanks for the book Warren! Great read so far.

I recommend this course. It’s enjoyable & a bargain for the greens fee.

Great layout, great practice facility(practice balls included)

Friendly staff.

Watch out, some of the holes bite if you don’t know the course.
