begins at 7:28 and ends at 9:28. The “afternoon wave” begins at
11:56 and ends at 1:56."


Is the "evening wave just 1:57pm and onwards?
Sort of.

The "Evening Wave" begins at approximately 4:00 pm., depending if it's a 27 hole golf course or an 18 hole golf course. It begins when there are "open" holes, because the players in the 2nd wave have completed part (or all) of their round. Which is why the afternoon wave begins earlier at an 18 hole golf course.

The evening wave is essentially "first come, first served", as a practical matter. Some courses it's easy to get on, some not so easy. It all depends on the mood of staff, pace of play, how busy it's been that day and how many "9 hole" players were in their afternoon wave.

If you want to play in the evening wave, call the golf shop about an 1.5 hours after their last 2nd wave tee time and ask them when you're likely to get out for the evening wave.

It sounds more complicated than it is.
