Waverly Country Club

Waverly Country Club, nestled along the banks of the Willamette River in Southeast Portland, is a testament to enduring golf tradition. Its historic pedigree is steeped in the spirit of the game’s early days in the Pacific Northwest. Designed in the early 20th century, Waverly is primarily a parkland course characterized by mature trees and subtly undulating terrain. Fairways are generous in places, demanding strategic positioning to navigate doglegs and set up approaches into well-guarded greens. While not exceedingly long by modern standards, Waverly rewards thoughtful course management and precise iron play. The course favors those who can shape the ball, offering a variety of shot-making opportunities. Waverly has welcomed some of the game's best, hosting the U.S. Amateur in 1964 and the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1935, events that have helped cement the club's place in regional golf history. While not on the regular rotation for major professional events, it remains a revered course within the Pacific Northwest, known for its classic design and challenging layout. Beyond the course itself, Waverly is known for its strong membership, with many families and multi-generational participants. The club has fostered a strong bond among its members. Waverly is also noted for its exceptional dining, particularly its Willamette River Salmon served grilled during the summer months — a club tradition and regional delicacy.
