SEDGEFIELD C.C. HITS THE CENTURY MARK

Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon • 20% Merlot 15% Cabernet Franc • 10% Petit Verdot

2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Sedgefield Country Club and its historic Donald Ross–designed golf course in Greensboro, North Carolina This video highlights the club’s early history, from its founding in 1926 to its lasting influence on professional golf and regional sports Sedgefield hosted early editions of the Greater Greensboro Open now the Wyndham Championship featuring legends such as Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, and Byron Nelson, and is the birthplace of the Atlantic Coast Conference Today, under McConnell Golf, Sedgefield continues to honor its past while building for the future. To watch, visit YouTube.com/McConnellGolf and subscribe to the channel for more content from our portfolio of properties.

PROGRESS CONTINUES ON COURSE RENOVATION PROJECT IN BLYTHEWOOD, SOUTH CAROLINA

With work on the Black 9 now complete, the renovation project at Cobblestone Golf Club has shifted to the Garnet 9 All bunkers will be rebuilt with Capillary Concrete liners and new sand, accompanied by subtle shaping to improve drainage and minimize washouts. The project also includes the installation of new concrete cart paths, selective rerouting for improved playability, and tree removal as needed to protect the new infrastructure.

The 2019 Perry’s Blend is a beautifully crafted Bordeaux-style Napa Valley red from Juslyn Vineyards, showcasing the intensity that defines the Spring Mountain District Juslyn Vineyards was founded by Perry and Carolyn Butler in 1997 after they left the tech world to pursue their passion for winemaking Their vineyard sits high above Napa Valley, where cooler mountain temperatures help create wines with great depth and character They focus on small-lot production and hands-on care, apparent in every bottle.

Bright red cherry and black currant lead the way, layered with hints of spice and subtle oak. Silky, polished tannins give the wine a graceful structure, while its supple texture and balanced acidity carry through to a long, lingering finish The result is a wine that is both powerful and refined equally suited for savoring now or pairing with a memorable meal. To reserve, please contact your club’s food & beverage director

MARCH: OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE

BY GREG LYONS, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT

THE COUNTRY CLUB AT WAKEFIELD PLANTATION

“As a child, Shirley Jones, who was an employee at my father’s hardware store, would make these delicious Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. My brothers and I always appreciated these treats because chocolate chips were used instead of raisins. Still today, I remember these cookies and my brothers and I trying to sneak them so the other staff members wouldn’t see ”
