Featured Golf Course — Sedgefield Country Club, Greensboro, NC Home of the PGA Wyndham Golf Championship

As I travel around the country I’ve had the pleasure of playing golf at many Country Clubs. There’s a level of pride and ownership when members speak of their course an amenities. The Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a prime example of a member stepping forward to celebrate the virtues and legacy of their rich club through the commission of a fine piece of art.

This past year it was my privilege to be commissioned by longtime collector Steve Hutchinson to capture the beauty of Sedgefield’s newly revamped Donald Ross design.

Sedgefield Country Club is truly a marvel to behold, offering all the amenities of a first class Country Club housed in an elegant Tudor Building constructed at the turn of the century. The perspective that I took to create this masterpiece art was coming up the ninth hole. Two field studies were created to work from. More than 150 hours were involved in the completion of the centerpiece painting.

For many years (1938-1961) Sedgefield Country Club was the alternate site of the Greater Greensboro Open with Starmount Forest Country Club. Then, for 16 years, Sedgefield hosted the GGO through 1976. In 1988, in a major undertaking, the course was restored to the original Donald Ross design. In 2008 it has once again became the home of a major PGA event hosting the Wyndham Championship. www.wyndhamchampionship.com

On February 29, 2008, this beautiful painting of the Sedgefield Country Club was unveiled to its membership with a thunderous applause.
