The homesteaders’ legacy
With its humble origins as the homestead of Sentelle and Mary Francis Moody, Maggie Valley Club grew from a labor of love. A rich heritage permeates each facet of this time-honored getaway.
Long before golf came to Maggie Valley, county residents lived on the Moody property in small cabins and worked the land in exchange for room, board and education. The later conversion of the mountainside dwellings into tourist cottages marked the beginning of the vacation era for Moody Farm, which quickly became known for its hospitality and home cooking.
In the early 1960s, Wilmore Bremmer assembled a group of investors who purchased the farm’s front bottomland and converted the old tobacco and cornfields into the front nine holes of the golf course, known today as the Valley Nine. The fairways were sewn by hand – three times, due to washout – and Maggie Valley Country Club welcomed its first golfers on August 23, 1963.
Today, our team of developers and resort specialists are shaping the transformation of Maggie Valley Club, which is poised to become a highly sought-after destination for fun and discovery in the mystical Smoky Mountains.
