Since its founding in 1988, Old Waverly has been highly regarded as one of the truly unique private clubs in all the US. U.S. Open winner Jerry Pate and course designer Bob Cupp were enlisted to craft the golf course from the undeveloped nature of 360 acres of pasture. The golf course opened in 1988 to rave reviews and has been a fixture among various "Best Of" lists, including recognition as the top residential golf course in Mississippi. The club experience was elevated again in 2016 with the opening of Mossy Oak Golf Club, located just across the street from Old Waverly. It was recognized in 2018 as one of Golfweek's Top-100 Modern Golf Courses in the US.
In 2023, both Old Waverly and Mossy Oak were awarded the Distinguished Golf Destinations from Board Room magazine in partnership with Forbes.
Offering two distinct, world-class golf courses, luxurious accommodations and unrivaled Southern Hospitality, Old Waverly has emerged as the premier golf destination in the South.
