Venue
The Waynesboro Country Club has served the Waynesboro area since 1928. This nonprofit club is open to everyone, regardless of race, religion or creed. Since its founding, the club has kept membership sizes manageable, allowing easy access to facilities without the need for tee times.
Originally a nine-hole course with a farmhouse as its clubhouse, the club expanded in 1970 by adding an 18-hole golf course and a swimming pool. Tennis courts were later added in 1976 as membership continued to grow.
During the 1990s, several notable improvements were completed. A new two-lane bridge replaced the single-lane entrance, creating better access across East Antietam Creek. The old clubhouse was replaced by a modern facility that features a lounge, dining areas, locker rooms and club offices. Additionally, a fully automated irrigation system was installed to enhance course conditions.
Each year, the Waynesboro Country Club continues to improve its facilities and programs for members and guests. The club also regularly hosts charitable, community and private events.
