Welcome to the Leisure Services Department

- Golf Course
- Pro Shop
- Leisure Swimming Pool
- Civic Center
- Harlington Cemetery



Come play our two new golf holes designed by Paul Miller. A wonderful, strong Par 3 that can top out at 235 yards. Paul gives you much room to bail out if you don’t feel like you have that shot. View the ponds, babbling brook and the wonderful, peaceful waterfall as you stand on the tee box. The Par 4 gives you many options to play. You can be aggressive and challenge the bunkers. This will leave you a shorter, but challenging, pitch shot to the green. Your other option is safer and allows you to play to a very wide fairway. It will leave you a longer, full shot to the green but you will be able to see the whole length of the green. Paul did a great job of replacing our old golf holes. So come see the new, old look of Waverly.

 Click here for a tee time or call the Pro Shop at 319-352-1530
