Always difficult to rate courses, as I firmly believe it depends on the type of golfer you are. You can have fun playing golf anywhere, and Waterford is no exception. The layout makes for some interesting challenges. For the layout and difficulty, I would give it four stars. Some holes can be challenging to keep the ball in the fairway, even with a "good shot" due to the multiple slopes. As on the website, there is a fair amount of water and hazzards, although they really dont come into play if you are a solid ball striker. If you loose a ball, its going to be in the thick woods, which generally line the fairway on both sides of every hole. As anyone knows, you never get a good lie in Bermuda rough, so critical to keep in the fairway. Greens also appear to be quite healthy. Staff is friendly. Havent accessed the snack bar, so I cant comment there. Some cons: fairways and greens are shaggy. Like I said, depends on the type of golfer you are. If you like fast greens and tight fairways, then scratch Waterford off your list. Often times, appears the ball is sitting DOWN in the fairway. Most bunkers are OK, but a few that are deplorable. Speaking of deplorable, the tee boxes...sheeeeesh! Often times, very difficult to find a flat, green surface to set up on...especially from green/yellow tees. Cart paths also need to be redone, so if you have some nice, forged clubs in your bag, Id put covers on them or prepare for significant amount of bag chatter. They do a great job of keeping water on the course. Range is standard, with plenty of hitting area. However, often times they shut it down in the evening without posting on the website...I think its now Tuesdays that they shut down early to do a clean pick....frustrating if you are a member and you are driving 35-45 mins to do some range work in the afternoon....lesson...call first. Worth a play, but not at standard rate. Id play Edgewater if you are the area and only have 1 round to play; more challenging and better course conditions

The staff at Waterford is great. Always friendly and accommodating. I try to hold an outing there whenever I can. They are putting the time and money in all of the right places to make the course great. Yea, the cart paths need help. But I would personally rather a course get the actual course in top shape before moving onto cart paths. If you havent played Waterford since the need management, you should check it out.

I have played this course 2 or 3 times but that was within a 1-2 year time period...everytime Ive played it the cart paths are terrible but the course itself is fanomial other than the roughs are freaking insane You literally have to pay very close attention to where your ball lands within legal play.... I had to take 3 penalty strokes due to that But other that the staff is great and highly recommend course to play

Cart paths are badly in need of repair. Fairways and greens are very play-able. Suggest spending whatever funds available on cartpaths first, then other issues. Green fees and cart prices are very fair considering dis-repair and lack of maintenance.

Greens and tee boxes need help. No diagram to hole layout. Your playing blind. Nothing of scorecards and/ or at tee boxes. Most had white poles for 150 yardage nothing else. Some holes had nothing so guess you wing it.

Nice track. Fairways and greens and overall good shape. Especially for the dog days of July. I would play here again. Not all that difficult from the white tees and a beginner would enjoy this course.
