Waverly Oaks

The term "a private golf club experience for the public golfer" has been one of the most over used clichés when describing the upscale golf course. But when Waverly Oaks Golf Club opened to the public in 1998, it quickly earned a reputation as one of the most dramatic golfing experiences available for the daily fees golfer.
When you drive up to the property, a long winding road leads you to the magnificent clubhouse on the hill. Waverly Oaks offers something for golfers of all levels. The Challenger is a nine hole executive course with six par 4's and 3 par 3's. The fairways are forgiving so if you are an accomplished golfer you can let out the shaft and try to drive the green and snare an eagle. But the course is also perfect for the new golfer, so he can develop the skills necessary to take on the challenge of a regulation course.
When you are ready for that challenge then tee it up on the 18 hole championship course that is part of the Waverly Oaks Golf Complex. The 18 hole championship course has five sets of tees, with a very reasonable 4, 930 yards from the front markers to a demanding 7,114 yards from the tiger tees.

The regulation course is composed of rolling hills and large, well manicured greens that roll fast and true. Two of my favorite holes are the 636 yard par 5 16th, and the 251 yard par 3 17th, which requires a long shot over a valley to a tight green. The course has always been in fantastic condition, and the staff is very attentive to your needs. It is well deserving of its many accolades including Golf Magazine which included it in its "top 100 courses you can play."

When you finish your round be sure to stop in the lavish clubhouse for some food and drink and enjoy the views from the second floor. There is only one disappointing note about Waverly Oaks Golf Club: soon it will be no more. At the end of the golfing season the pristine fairways will be home to a major film studio. So if you want to enjoy one of the finest courses in the area that is open to Joe Public, don't delay.
