Great course layout

I really enjoyed this course as the fairways have a lot of slope so you have to think about placing your tee shots. That said, if you are off the fairway you will likely find your ball, it is not as thickly wooded like others around here. The greens had been aerated recently so didn't roll true but are still in good shape.

Best course around

This is my favorite course around (compared to Challedon, Patuxent Greens, Fairway Hills, Timbers at Troy, Turf Valley-Hialeah and others that aren't worth mentioning). Perfect tee boxes. Very nice rolling fairways so you may find yourself with some tough lies or hit a great tee shot and still roll off the fairway. Some nice short holes as well as some long ones. A bit pricey but perhaps worth it.

All around amazing!

Was in town from Philly and decided to try out the course. Wasn't disappointed at all. I am in town till Tuesday and will be making another tee time Monday to slip in another round. One of my favorite courses to date.

Long course but fun.

Definitely some challenging holes but the layout is great with a variety of holes that keep things interesting. Most people get in trouble on 17 because they hit too far but if playing from the back tees, swing away.

Greens have very subtle break so your initial reads might be wrong.

Ups and downs at Waverly Woods

Waverly Woods has a friendly staff and some challenging holes, but like many "development" courses some holes feel like they were carved out of land unsuitable for houses. Front nine is harder than the back. Some holes are quite hilly. If you hit your drive to the right slope you can catch extra yards.

Thanks for nice review. Arthur Hills loved the terrain at Waverly Woods so much he decided to move very little dirt and lay the holes right on the natural land for the most part. The land provides the strategy - only 33 bunkers on the entire golf course - most courses have 2-3 times as many or even more!

Look forward to serving you again sometime!

Fun in the hills

This is a FUN golf course. It's pretty difficult and if you drive it crooked, you'll be in the hay all day (so stay away!). But for decent golfers, there's plenty of room to keep it in play.

In the firm, summer conditions, the course plays WAY shorter than the yardage. Many tee shots are downhill and if you hit the fairway it'll roll a long way. I drive it maybe 260 on average and I found the blue tees (6600+ yds.) to be too short. I literally hit nothing longer than a 9 iron all day except off the tee. There are lots of big slopes to play your tee shots off of and may holes require you to gear back off the tee to keep it in the fairway. Playing it back allows better players to hit more club and lay up a little less. But it is a very difficult course and if you can't hit your driver somewhat straight, play it forward.

The course was in very good condition all the way around. Nothing much more to say there. I think it was airated a few weeks ago but the greens were pretty good as of last weekend.

Some local knowledge would surely go a long way here and I'm excited to go back and try it again!

Oh yeah, I walked much of the way but only because my buddy had a cart that I could hop onto between holes. And when the course slowed down a bit on the back nine I went ahead and rode. This is definitely NOT a walking course.

Always well conditioned

Waverly Woods is a challenging course, especially the first couple of times you play it. There are holes with severe elevation changes, dog legs and short and long holes that will challenge every part of your game. It's definitely not walking friendly. Greens are usually quite quick, although, they were not as fast today as the last time I played it. The staff is friendly and they do what they can to keep the pace of play up. I definitely recommend it although, it is quite pricey on the weekend.

Tough course for first timers

Played this course with 3 others all playing for the first time. We had a 7:10AM tee time and on the 8th hole we were asked if we would skip 10 to bring up the pace of play and play it after 18. Completely acceptable as we were playing slower than normal due to looking for our balls. The course has a lot of blind shots and if you are not used to it then you will be searching a lot! Beautiful layout (houses a little distracting). Greens had just been aerated 2 weeks earlier and were still showing a little but rolled true. Staff was extremely friendly. 2 negatives; 1. A lot of un repaired pitch marks, 2. Did not see cart girl once on a very hot day. Also got a great burger in the clubhouse after. Highly recommended.

Thank you - I must say we really appreciate your understanding with our pace of play request. Many others in the same situation would have been less considerate - kudos!

Sorry about the beverage cart not being out - we will address that.

Should have been an aeration special

Waverly Woods is a very challenging and enjoyable course. However, this experience was not positive. Only after I arrived and began play did I realize that the greens had recently been aerated. No mention of that was made during the Golfnow.com booking process online nor was it mentioned by the pro shop staff when I checked in. The greens fee should have been discounted to reflect the sub-par condition of the greens or at minimum the condition should have been disclosed.

Waverly Woods

Played a free Hot Deal foursome with my buds, so hard to complain about free golf. Course was challenging with lots of elevation changes and blind shots off the tee. This was aggravated by the fact that they didn't have any graphics as to course layout. Not on the scorecard or at the tees. So as first timers we were pretty blind on shot and club selection. On the plus side, the Rangers we ran into on the course went out of their way to give us hints for shots on various holes.

Wonderful layout and interesting challenges

This course is quite well designed with many different kinds of holes, varying lengths, and well thought out challenges. You must think through your round and use all your clubs. Greens rolled true and fair and when the rough grows in it will be a truly difficult course.

Course was in very good condition, greens were excellent, but it would help if players fixed their green divots. the pace of play was dreadful--almost five hours--little ranger interaction with players.

Above average course

Played here on wednesday, and it wasn't the course's fault, but we had to skip a hole to pass a group that was slowing the whole course down.
Anyways, the course's condition is average. The greens were aerated a month ago so still bumpy and sandy, but pretty good except for 1 or 2 holes. They're aerating the rough around the greens, and would have liked to know before I started.
The staff was mostly friendly except for the guy at the start. But overall, very nice group of people.
