Waverly Oaks Golf Club

This is the second time we’ve run into an issue with the staff here. We were in the first fairway when the starter skidded his cart between us and said “the rules here are that we don’t go off until the starter says so!” We sat in silent shock and had no idea what he was talking about. I offered that the starter did in fact tell us to go as someone did on the teebox. He responded that that person wasn’t the starter and that he’d been “reprimanded.” I suppose we were thrown off by the fact that the guy we thought to be the starter was dressed in a Waverly Oaks uniform and acting like a starter. If they’re having trouble making sure the proper person is at the proper post I don’t think we should have to deal with being yelled at. Those two things don’t seem to track. After we showed him our cart slips and tee time receipts, I think he realized that we were just doing what we thought we were supposed to do, but he never like apologized for the misunderstanding, which I found odd because we were apologizing profusely and hadn't done anything wrong. It's a great course, unreal layout and in great shape - greens were running like 10-11, it was magical. But definitely don't plan like an outing or anything like that here, any time that you have to deal with the course staff you're taking your life in your hands! Pinehills is right across the street and they always seem to value you over there so that'd be my recommendation.

Staff was attentive and helpful. Course was in very good shape. Besides the weather the only other down side was that the snack shack was closed on this particular day.

I have played most of the courses in and around Plymouth, so I had high expectations before arriving . From the starter to the pro shop, all staff are very attentive to you, and do all they can to make your day at Waverly Oaks enjoyable. The course has the rolling hills and well manicured greens I expected, fairways in great shape also. Well worth the ride to South Plymouth from greater Boston, a true “Hidden Gem”!

Par 3 200+ yard & elevated green on the other side of mountain....

Par 5 17th hole called Infinity...

It was one of the best course I played!

Clubhouse staff was efficient and accommodating. Butch at the bag room ant Kathy at the bar were fabulous. Course is in great shape and super value for the money,

Ist time playing and it was a very good experience all around. Greeting staff, pro shop staff, and starter were all extremely friendly and welcoming.

Small bucket of balls with greens fee for driving range for warm up. Thumbs up here. Practice green right next to 1st tee, which is very convenient. Practice green also has some areas of elevation changes, which is good for practicing challenging putts. Thumbs up here too.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in very good to excellent shape. the rough on the fridge of the fairway was a little high (5 in and thick). Balls were more difficult to get loft and distance, especially if the ball was buried. I wish it was cut about 1/2 inch or so shorter as I think that would have made it more fair.

Course has a lot of terrain and many holes require good club selection and thinking. All the holes have names, which is cool. Greens played true and somewhat fast but had subtle breaks in some directions. Challenging, but not unforgiving.

The course winds around and at holes 7 and 14 (where the front and back 9 intersect) there is a snack shack with food and drinks for purchase and bathrooms. Nice touch here.

Fairways rolled well, but it had rained recently and there were some damp/soft areas.

Course has electric carts with GPS. Plus here, but several times we were in what I thought was an okay area on or next to the fairway and the cart started buzz and go into limp mode telling us to return to the cart path. Frustrating sometimes. I don't think that the option of walking is permitted and you would be nuts if you tried with the course terrain.

Despite us going off relatively early (8:06 AM), we did 18 holes in 4 h 20 min with several minutes on many holes. Tee off times were 9 minutes apart. I will say the foursome in front of us got in the rough many times, so that may have had an influence. 4 h would be a decent pace of play for this course, with he terrain, and how it is spread out.

At $105/pp (full price at peak times) I think it is pricey. If you can play for less than $85, I think that is a very fair price and very much worth it.

The on complaint I have (minimal) was the lack of water coolers on the course. They had one I think at Hole #5, and I assume you can get water at the Snack Shack, (#7), the club house (after #9), again at the snack shack (#14) and then at #17. The problem with the clubhouse (after #9) is that you have to drive off of the course to get to it. Maybe a cooler at #11 or #10 would be better. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of if you play when it is hot.

OVERALL RECOMMEND as it is one of the better conditions courses in Eastern Mass and the Cape.

First time playing at Waverly Oaks, and I was not disappointed at all. I had very high expectations and every single one was met. The greens were in spectacular shape, as well as the fairways and tee boxes. It was a very hot day and i had forgot my water bottle, but they had ice cold water on almost every 3rd or 4th hole. Would definitely come back again as well as recommend to others.

I love this golf course, I guess it just “suits my eye” but I find it to be a perfect blend of golf. Each hole is unique and has its own name which is pretty cool. Plenty of tee boxes and challenging shots but at the same time very fair golf that doesn’t punish good shots. Short and long par 5s, a drive-able par 4 12th, dangerous par 3s, lots of risk/rewards. Well maintained course, some of the greens are a little bumpy. The staff is very friendly and does a good job. Complimentary range balls, grass range, nice snack shack in the middle of the course that intersects 4 holes. The golf carts are so amazing, very comfortable leather sofa like seating, gps with scorekeeping and food/beverage ordering. I am so glad I finally got to play here and now I will be a regular because this is a great course where I play my best golf.

Poor greensYou just can’t charge a premium price with the greens that bad

The course is fun to play. Each hole is quite different and you can make it as easy or difficult as you want based on tee selection. Course is in very nice condition. Greens have improved very nicely since earlier in the year, except for the first hole, so don't let that hole make you assume the rest of the greens are that bumpy. Just about all the other greens are in great shape. Excellent pace of play. A great value in the Plymouth area.
