Review of Old Waverly Golf Club

An excellent golf destination. Groups from around ...

An excellent golf destination. Groups from around the Southeast (mainly Memphis, Birmingham and all of MS) come for their annual golf event. The original Old Waverly course is near perfect and worth playing 9/10 times over their newest offering across the street in Mossy Oak.

The food was once excellent, but dismal service and lack of creativity gives you only unhealthy, stale choices. The service has been surprisingly poor and slipping through the years. Our waitress chose to share homophobic jokes as my group was walking out. She even shared, they get mad at me if I hit the customers. I still hold out hope and want to expect more in MS.

The golf course staff, especially Chris Jester at Mossy Staffing are very helpful and treats you like family. The cottages are updated, easy and ideal for golf groups - very hard to complain about. The course seems to always be in perfect condition (well done maintenance team) and was very fun to play several times over and over. Nice pool as well. I'll be back - hopefully soon!

Updated: I had to include an update after my most recent visit. The food and staffing makes the cost harder to justify, but in the end, the golf course is just that good. The primary competition includes RTJ courses in AL and Farmlinks at Purcell Farms. Both excellent choices in the Southeastern US.
