West Point Mississippi
18-hole Stroke Play Championship
March 29th, 2019
EVENT OVERVIEW
Join us for the premier event for the 2018-2019 season of the Birmingham Tour. Simply put, no other golf destination delivers an experience on par with Old Waverly. Since its founding in 1988, Old Waverly has been highly regarded as one of the truly unique private clubs in all of the US. Developed on the site of the historic Waverly Mansion, the club is a result of the vision of the George and Marcia Bryan Family, who sought to create a world-class destination for golf and hospitality in the heart of the Mississippi Black Prairie.
U.S. Open winner Jerry Pate and course designer Bob Cupp were enlisted to craft the golf course from the undeveloped nature of 360 acres of pasture. The golf course opened in September 1988 to rave reviews, and has been a fixture among various "Best Of" lists, including recognition as the top residential golf course in Mississippi.
In addition to world-class golf, Old Waverly offers a host of luxurious lodging accommodations on site that provide members and their guests complete access to the club and it's amenities. Nine four-bedroom cottages are available at the club for short term lodging. Villas, condos and single-family luxury homes are also available for rent and are located just steps away from the club's amenities.
Old Waverly has also had the honor to host several high-profile championship golf events over the years, including the SEC Women's Championship, the Women's US Mid-Am, and most notably, the 1999 US Women's Open won by World Golf Hall of Famer, Juli Inkster. Old Waverly has also been selected to host the 2019 US Women's Amateur.
This will be an 18 hole stroke play event. Tour Players from all over the country will converge and compete for Trophies, Gift Cards, Race to Nationals Points and most important, bragging rights.
