Sedgefield Country Club ☆ Follow

Sedgefield Country Club is located in Greensboro, North Carolina, southwest of the city center. The course was designed by Donald Ross and opened for play in 1926. Ross created the course to fit in with the rolling landscape of the North Carolina countryside. The 18-hole layout plays to par-71 and measures approximately 7,130 yards from the championship tees, with five sets of tees available.

The layout features small, sharply contoured greens and rolling fairways. A creek meanders through the property and comes into play on several holes. The course places a premium on putting the ball in the right place, meaning keeping it on the fairway and finding the right angle to the green. The small, undulating greens allow for interesting pin placements. A 2007 restoration project replaced original Bentgrass greens with Champion Bermuda Grass greens and restored the fairways with Tifway 419 Bermuda grass.

Established in 1926, the club is primarily known for its golf course and the PGA Tour event it has held annually since 2008: the Wyndham Championship, formerly the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic, and the Greater Greensboro Open (GGO). It also hosted the tournament from 1938 to 1976 (alternating some years with Starmount Forest Country Club). Along with Detroit Golf Club, Sedgefield is currently one of only two Ross-designed courses hosting a regular event on the PGA Tour.
