About this course
Old Waverly Golf Club, nestled in the rolling hills of West Point, Mississippi, is a testament to Southern hospitality and championship-caliber golf. More than just a golf course, Old Waverly is a club that has a familial bond between members. Designed in the Golden Age spirit by Bob Cupp and Jerry Pate, Old Waverly unfolds across a landscape of meticulously manicured Bermuda grass fairways, dotted with mature pines and native hardwoods. The course favors a strategic approach, rewarding thoughtful shot-making over brute force. Errant shots can find trouble lurking in the water hazards that meander throughout the property. While the course can play long from the tips, it's the challenging green complexes, with subtle undulations and strategic bunkering, that truly define the Old Waverly experience. In 1999, Old Waverly served as the host venue for the U.S. Women's Open. The championship saw Juli Inkster capturing the title, forever etching the course in the annals of golf history. While perhaps not internationally renowned, Old Waverly maintains a strong regional reputation as a challenging and rewarding course, prized by its dedicated membership. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and southern charm, Old Waverly has become a second home to its members, where bonds are strengthened over competitive rounds and post-game gatherings.

Getting there
Most visitors to Old Waverly Golf Club arrive through Golden Triangle Regional Airport in Columbus, Mississippi, a compact regional hub roughly twenty minutes north by car, though Memphis International and Birmingham-Shuttlesworth serve as larger gateways roughly two hours distant in either direction. The drive from Columbus traces quiet state highways through the gently rolling farmland and pine forests of the Mississippi Black Prairie, a landscape of unhurried grace that feels worlds away from the interstate. As you turn onto the club's tree-lined entrance drive, the transition is immediate and complete - the modern world recedes, replaced by the hushed elegance of one of the South's most discreet and meticulously crafted golf sanctuaries.
