Sedgefield Country Club is a country club in the eastern United States, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, southwest of the city center. Established in 1926, it is primarily known for its golf course and the PGA Tour event it has held annually since 2008: the GO by Raymond James, most recently known as the Wyndham Championship. It also hosted the tournament from 1938 to 1976 (alternating some years with Starmount Forest Country Club).
The course was designed by Donald Ross and opened for play in 1926. Along with Detroit Golf Club, they are currently the only two Ross-designed courses hosting a regular event on the PGA Tour. The Ross course originally featured Bentgrass greens, but in 2007, a major $3 million restoration project replaced them with Champion Bermuda Grass greens and restored the fairways with Tifway 419 Bermuda grass. In 2011, McConnell Golf acquired Sedgefield Country Club and added new membership benefits, including reciprocal access to the 14 other McConnell Golf properties.
From 2003 until 2021, Rocky Brooks of the PGA served as director of golf at Sedgefield. He was succeeded by Eric Ferguson who now serves as the director of golf.
