Cruise by Waverley Country Club, one of the first golf clubs in the west, established in 1896. Fifty years before the construction of Waverley Country Club on the current site, its history can be traced back to Henderson Luelling, known as the Johnny Appleseed of the West. It is believed by many that the presentation of the green jacket at the Masters started at Waverley.
