Wayland Country Club

Boring layout and slightly overpriced. However, staff is friendly and the course is very well maintained. Food is surprisingly above average and they have a small bar. Wouldn’t take a drive to play here but it’s a decent spot for locals.

UPDATE: I was here on labor day and i was helped by a diff person i havent seen, an older man. he was very nice, the course was in great shape, fairway and greens were great. had a great round. enjoyed the course.
not to hard but nice layout that uses all your clubs.

I have played here a couple of times over the years I can shoot lower scores at Stow Acres which is built with a championship layout. Also, tend to shoot my higher scores here. Wayland is in nice condition and the greens are in good shape but seem very fast, and can easily three putt a few holes. A «short» course does not always mean easy it usually means you have to be more accurate on the fairways and putt well. I have never had an issue with pace of play here, they seem to have leagues after 3pm during the week and at different times during the weekend. It is in good condition considering it has a lot of traffic. A little pricey and over played but a nice place to play. Play here earlier during the week if you can get out then.

Worst golf experience of the year. It took 6 hours to play 18 holes. Mosquitos everywhere. And finally, no mayonnaise available for my wet hotdog that had to be delivered to me.

I like this course. I’ve played here about 20 times, conditions only seem to get better since ive started. Presents a good mix of holes, but for the most part you have a good chance at going low. Its very flat. Only reasons for the 3 stars is for the rates you can do better, especially the weekends, and it is often very, very crowded. Maintenance has been out more often than not during my rounds either hosing greens or mowing and what not. It comes with keeping up a course so i get it but you really don’t see that anywhere else, especially as often as i have seen it, middle of the day no less. Overall I recommend playing here but you may find there are better, more challenging places not too far from there.

Terrible experience! Course was overbooked. Two groups waiting on every hole. After. 9 asked for a raincheck and they were not apologetic at all. They tried to give Me a rain check for play after 2 even though I paid a before 2 rate. When I pushed it they relented but basically threw it at me !!! Very poor customer service!!!

I’m giving 5 stars based on a few things… FRIENDLY all around! The guy at the pro shop is professional, funny, and always cheerful. He gets it. The starter… same as above. The course is in good shape for the amount of play this place gets and the price. Its a pick me up course as its pretty easy, but that’s what makes the golf there fun. Tee boxes and greens are in good shape. I will always come back.

Slow play. Round took 5 hours on a weekday. But the course is in nice shape and the staff there is very friendly. A better bargain than more expensive courses around.

A little pricy, but I like this course for what it is. It’s becoming my «go to» in many respects. Tee boxes and greens are decent.

This place is great, complete diamond in the rough. Well manicured course and friendly players!

Played there last week with my father and my brother, what an experience! Didn’t hurt that I shot my best score all Summer but the course was great, the greens were fast and it was in really good shape!
I’ve played my share of New England courses and this is easily one at top.
Highly recommend it!

Short, boring layout with no character. Subpar condition. A course where golfers go to die. Sorry, not anything good I can say about this place.

Very bland layout… just flat, wide and not interesting at all. Not well maintained also. Kinda pricey in my opinion for that sort of quality.
I did not have a negative experience there but would not go back mainly because it’s expensive for an uninteresting course.

Played an outing here and the conditions were good but far from «Private club» quality. Layout was nothing special, way too flat and open and in some areas downright dangerous due to nearby tee boxes. Staff was a bit on the nasty side and we were even scolded by one of the owners for having the cart too close to a green (50 feet). It was actually kind of comical because he told us ‘If this was a nice course, they would be screaming at you”. I guess he doesn’t think much of is course. Neither do I

Boo.
The course is in overall fair condition, nothing special. The layout isn’t great, with many fairways connected to one another with sparse vegetation in between… you’re going to hear «fore» a lot.
The worst part of this course is the staff, they downright suck. It’s a public course, with public course quality fairways and greens, and yet they have a nazi drink cart lady out there hassling everyone. I brought a six-​pack onto the course and almost got kicked off the course because she made such a big deal about it.
Apparently they just hire local trash who really need that extra $ 1 tip.

Played here for the first time last week. It was in good condition overall. My big problem with this place is the layout. You feel like your walking in the middle of a driving range. I’ve never heard so many «fore» calls in one outing.
The holes are way too close together.

I’m a little afraid to review this because I don’t want to bring too much attention to one of the better golf deals around Boston.
Tee off before 7am (as early as 5:30am), and you can play here for $ 25. It’s a good course kept in good shape. It’s not the most challenging test of golf but it’s enjoyable and a very good walking course. It’s the perfect 18 for a pre-​work sunrise round. Keep in mind the 7am rate is very strict — if you get there at 7:01, you’ll have to pay $ 36. The pro shop is not always cheery that early in the morning, FYI.
It gets bogged down with older locals very quickly starting around 9am; I can’t imagine playing here during peak times. Keep an eye out for sneaky baby boomers wheeling out into the fairway ahead of you. They may pretend like they can’t hear you but they also don’t want to get hit with a ball so by all means tell them to get off the hole to maintain your pace.
Do not go long and left on the par 3 4^th. It looks like an alright place to bail out but it in fact swallows balls. *note to self: come up with a better metaphor to edit in
Your driver will be one of the more important clubs in your bag. You’ll probably want to play it on every par 4 and par 5 except for the 5^th hole, where water on the left comes into play sooner than you can see off the tee.
Wake up early (yes, it sucks), get dressed quickly and tee off shortly after 6am. With the course to yourself, you can finish 18 before 9am and head off to work from there. It’s my new favorite way to golf in the Boston area.

Course is always in great condition. It’s nice and open so you don’t have to worry about losing balls, even though I seem to lose a sleeve every time I go.
$ 63 for 18 with a cart on the weekends isn’t terrible, but it’s not cheap either. The greens are in great shape, the fairways a little wet in areas depending on what time of year you play. All in all, a pretty nice course. Plays short like 5200.

A-​OK for this course. They describe themselves as a public course with private club course conditions, which isn’t too far off. They keep the undulating greens quick and vary the pin placements, some in flats — some on slopes. The course is completely flat, so it is good for walking. Its also short but with some tricky doglegs. They put in a new drainage system last year which seems to be doing a pretty decent job and the starter does a good job keeping things running smoothly without an attitude.
