Waverly Golf & Country Club

About this course
Waverly Golf & Country Club sits in the small city of Waverly in northeast Iowa, a region characterized by gently rolling farmland and the Cedar River valley. The club serves as a traditional community gathering place in a town of roughly 10,000 residents, offering golf alongside social and dining amenities typical of Midwestern country clubs established in the early-to-mid twentieth century. The course layout reflects the natural topography of the area, with modest elevation changes and mature tree-lined fairways that frame play. Northeast Iowa courses generally incorporate native hardwoods and open corridors shaped by agricultural land use patterns, and Waverly follows this regional template. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough strategic interest to challenge regular members and visitors alike. As a community-centered club, Waverly hosts local tournaments and serves as a venue for high school and collegiate events from the surrounding area. The club maintains traditions common to Iowa country clubs, including family-oriented programming and seasonal social events that extend beyond golf. The dining facilities and clubhouse provide a focal point for members throughout the year, reinforcing the club's role in Waverly's civic and recreational life.

Getting there
Most visitors to Waverly Golf & Country Club arrive via Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, roughly an hour and a half southwest, though Waterloo Regional Airport offers a closer alternative just twenty-five minutes to the east for those on smaller aircraft. The drive north from Cedar Rapids traces the gentle farmland of the Cedar River Valley, eventually threading through the tidy streets of Waverly itself - a classic Iowa college town where tree-lined avenues give way to the club's welcoming entrance. The journey is unhurried and quintessentially Midwestern, a quiet transition from interstate to intimate community, with the course emerging as a verdant oasis along the river's edge.
