Best Golf Resorts In The Southeast

THE LODGE AT OLD WAVERLY/MOSSY OAK
West Point, Miss.

With the addition of Gil Hanse's Mossy Oak Golf Club, which opened in 2016, the tiny town of West Point, Miss.—two-and-a-half hours from Memphis, and four hours from Atlanta—has become a desirable hub for golfers in the south. Old Waverly, the Bob Cupp and Jerry Pate course, was the site of the 1999 U.S. Women's Open, 2006 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur and the 2019 U.S. Women's Amateur.
