The Waynesville Inn is a classic North Carolina resort from the 1920s located on the south side of Waynesville on Market Street and its golf course is private, but open to outside play to guests of the lodge on site.

The original 27 hole course has been reduced to 18 holes by Bobby Weed with the original Donald Ross “The Carolina Nine” becoming the front side. The Carolina is over the valley floor while the backside moves over rolling terrain along wooded fairway corridors. It is situated in a scenic setting surrounded by mountain views throughout the at an elevation of 3,000 feet.

With its recent reopening, there are now four excellent golf courses in the Waynesville area making it a legitimate golf destination. It’s especially favorable this time of year as the temperatures are generally 10-15 degrees cooler at this elevation. Our guide for Waynesville includes the Springdale Country Club, Maggie Valley Resort, Laurel Ridge, and the newly reopened Waynesville Inn.
