Laid out on a tight parcel of land beside the Williamette River, the course at Waverley Country Club dates back to not long after the club was formed in 1896.

Outside of Bandon, Eugene CC gets the hype as the top private course in Oregon, but the title should belong to Waverley.
The place has an incredible, relaxed vibe. Clubhouse with a bit of a New England feel to it.
The views of the Willamette are stunning. You get a peek when you arrive on property; with the 9th green in close proximity, and 17/18 behind.
The course winds inland; notably past a graveyard, before heading back towards the water, and wrapping up the front 9 with a par 3 close to 18 green.
When you stand on 16, a downhill par 3, you look right at the Willamette, and are about to embark on one of the best finishing stretches in golf.
17 and 18 are back to back par 5s; both running along the Willamette. Fantastic.
Hanse did a wonderful job sprucing the place up, that oozes with history.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
