Sedgefield Country Club

About this course
Sedgefield Country Club is home to a course where history whispers through the Carolina pines, a constant reminder that this is where Sam Snead captured the inaugural Greater Greensboro Open in 1938. This classic layout, situated just outside Greensboro, evokes the spirit of Golden Age design. The gently rolling parkland terrain, marked by subtle elevation changes and strategically placed water hazards, offers a test of skill that favors neither power nor finesse. Expect doglegs that reward calculated approaches and greens that demand a deft touch with the putter. Donald Ross's masterful hand is evident in the course's enduring playability, though subsequent refinements by Kris Spence have ensured its continued relevance for the modern game. Sedgefield is the host of the Wyndham Championship, a fixture on the PGA Tour, where the world's best vie for FedEx Cup points amidst a backdrop of Southern charm and competitive intensity. While not typically found on global lists of the "world's best," Sedgefield's Old Course holds a special place in the hearts of North Carolina golfers. Members gather not just for golf but also for the club's famed fried chicken, a culinary tradition almost as storied as the club itself. The camaraderie is palpable, fostered by a shared appreciation for a course that rewards thoughtful play and celebrates the history of the game.
