Sedgefield Country Club

Sedgefield Country Club’s second planned layout—referred to in period sources as the “Blue” course—survives today as the club’s working 18-hole Ross course in southwest Greensboro, NC. The club operates as a private facility with a Tudor-style clubhouse and modern practice grounds; members also have reciprocal access to The Cardinal by Pete Dye elsewhere in Greensboro. On a day-to-day basis the course presents as a mid-length, member-friendly test with a premium on angles and approach control into compact, contoured greens. The club’s scorecard lists a par 71 member configuration at roughly 7,078 yards (multiple tees), while the PGA TOUR’s Wyndham Championship sets the course up as a par 70 at approximately 7,117 yards, the latter figure following a 2007 restoration and re-grass led by Kris Spence. Greens are Champion Bermuda and fairways Tifway 419 Bermuda, a warm-season profile chosen when the club modernized agronomy for summer tournament play. Visitors today encounter a traditional parkland landscape with creeks, low swales, and several elevated “table-top” greens; hole-by-hole descriptions published for the Wyndham identify distinct strategic elements—diagonal cross-bunkering at the 2nd, a bunkerless but severely contoured 4th green, creek-defended one-shotters at the 7th and 12th, and a skyline target at the 14th—that define the present playing experience.
