McConnell Golf once again placed all of its North Carolina private clubs among the state’s Top 100 courses, highlighted by four clubs earning Top 25 rankings in the North Carolina Golf Panel’s 30th annual statewide rankings, published in the April issue of Business North Carolina magazine

Leading the portfolio is Greensboro’s Sedgefield Country Club, home of the PGA TOUR’s Wyndham Championship, ranked No 7 in North Carolina Old North State Club in New London followed at No 11, while Raleigh Country Club climbed to No 15 Durham’s Treyburn Country Club made one of the year’s biggest moves, jumping four spots into the Top 25 at No 25 In total, 11 McConnell Golf courses earned Top 100 recognition statewide, marking a strong year of upward momentum across the company’s North Carolina portfolio

Several Triangle-area clubs posted notable improvements. The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh made a significant leap, rising to No. 75 from No. 94 last year. Treyburn’s move into the Top 25 further strengthened the region’s standing among the state’s premier courses. Eastern North Carolina also saw major gains, as Wilson Country Club surged into the Top 100 at No. 84 after being unranked last year one of the largest upward moves in this year’s rankings

Other McConnell Golf properties earning Top 100 honors include:

PISTACHIO COOKIE

MIKE MOORE, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT WILSON COUNTRY CLUB

“I love Pistachio as much as I love cookies The pistachio is the well-traveled, smart, and cool nut that sits quietly in the back of the class, calm, collected, and naturally green, with health benefits like healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Originating in the Middle East over 10,000 years ago, pistachios spread through ancient civilizations and became a luxury item for elites, from the Queen of Sheba to Roman emperors, while California now produces 99% of the U S supply Humble yet legendary, pistachios are the perfect chef’s nut versatile, flavorful, and undeniably the best ice cream flavor known to humankind.” - Mike Moore
