Sedgefield

In 1923, Southern Real Estate purchased the enormous 3,660-acre hunting estate at Sedgefield and shortly after Donald Ross was engaged to design two 18-hole layouts for the new owners. The original course was named Valley Brook but the Great Depression prevented a second course ever being built.

The Greensboro Open was held here twenty-six times between 1938 and 1976, before the tournament moved to Forest Oaks Country Club. Following a course renovation by Kris Spence, this prestigious PGA Tour event returned to Sedgefield as the newly-named Wyndham Championship in 2008.

In the book The American Private Golf Club Guide author Daniel Wexler describes Sedgefield as follows:

“Routed over a rolling, wooded landscape, it is a strong, well-balanced test… Sedgefield serves as positive proof that a Golden Age design needn’t be mangled beyond recognition to remain tournament relevant in the new millennium.”
