Old Waverly Golf Club transitioned to new ownership in 2024, making Old Waverly Golf Club and Mossy Oak Golf Club both private. As the new investors explore options to potentially enhance the golf course and facilities, Mossy Oak Golf Club will close for nine months starting in January 2025 for renovations. Until the new investors determine a path moving forward and make decisions, the general golfing public is no longer able to make stay and play reservations unless they are a member, become a member, or are sponsored by a member.
