OUR HISTORY

Since the 1800s, hospitality has been a fundamental part of Maggie Valley Club & Resort. With its humble origins as the homestead of Sentelle and Mary Francis Moody, the Club has grown from a labor of love into the beautiful resort it is today.


Long before golf came to Maggie Valley, the Moodys opened their home to local residents and provided room, board and education in exchange for working the land. The Moody Farm became famous for its hospitality and home-cooking. As more tourists traveled to the region, small cabins were converted into guest cottages, marking the beginning of the tourism industry in the area.


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 in late summer, 1963.


As the territory developed, homes were added along the course, and a second nine holes were added to the course farther up the mountain, the Mountain Nine. Today, our team of developers and resort specialists are shaping the transformation of Maggie Valley Club & Resort into a highly sought-after destination for fun and discovery in the magnificent Smoky Mountains
