About The Waynesville Inn Golf Resort & Spa

The Waynesville Inn Golf Resort & Spa is a historic, western North Carolina property dating back to 1926. It features 111 guest rooms and suites as well as the Balsams Spa. Amenities include casual and fine dining, meeting space and an outdoor pool open seasonally. After a two-year closure, Waynesville Inn & Golf Club reopened in 2023 after a comprehensive renovation by architect Bobby Weed that honored the routing of Donald Ross’ original nine holes while updating the rest of the property to form a challenging, scenic and brand-new 6,500-yard par-71 routing open to members and overnight resort guests. Outdoor mountain adventures, Maggie Valley and the historic town of Waynesville are located nearby.

great scenery

There was a foursome in front of my two but we refused to play through. We were more than content to look at the mountains between strokes. The greens rolled true and the speeds were consistent throughout the course. Great value for the money

Surprising

What a very nice course tucked away in a wonderful little NC town. The staff was unbelievable nice and hospitable. This is a challenging course mostly because the small size of the greens and the slope once you get to putt. If you can hit these greens in regulation, you can play anywhere! I would definitely play Waynesville Inn again.

The greens are in superb condition and the course is very playable.

The Carolina nine and the Dogwood nine make for a great mixture of holes that give even mid to high handicappers the feeling they can score well. Do not let the distance on the card fool you... these golf holes have a way of naturally guarding themselves and making for a fun challenge. This is a great hot deal if it is available.

Short course and really fun to play

Played this course as a stopover in Waynesville for the last several years. It's a really short course, but has some tricky holes. Well maintained and worth the golfnow rate. The standard rate is probably too much to pay for this course, but is worth searching the online rate, if your schedule can be flexible. It's a good atmosphere, while staying at the attached Inn.

Excellent experience

I visited this course while on vacation from Florida. I must say, I had never seen or played on anything quite like this course before. The course itself was in great condition, the atmosphere was even better, and it was visually stunning. It was a great experience for someone used to playing in the flat lands. On top of that, the staff was as nice as could be and was happy to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend this course.

In great shape, and greens were incredible.

I strongly recommend this course for intermediate players and up. It is challenging and in excellent shape. It is not a recommended walking course unless you want to walk 9 holes on the flat section of the course.

Outstanding scenery, condition and staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent Short Game Test

Beautiful layout. Shorter from the tees, but plenty of opportunities to use all the clubs in your bag. Excellent greens and nice fairways. 27 hole layout provides a nice variety of play with elevation changes and shot-shapes. Would highly recommend this course for all skill levels, just keep up the pace of play.

Like this course

I just moved to Waynesville 1 month ago and was looking for a course to play regularly. I'm a decent golfer 12 handicap and found that from the Blue tees this course was challenging enough for me. Not long but very interesting holes. Place is nice and staff is quite friendly. Not worth the $64.00 reg price but at 28-40 reasonable. Most Western Carolina courses have a Senior rate, wish they had one here. Reccomend this facility highly.
