What began as the historical preservation of Donald Ross’ last design in Raleigh, North Carolina has blossomed into a portfolio of championship golf courses stretching from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee to the coasts of the Carolinas. McConnell Golf’s flagship property, Raleigh Country Club, was acquired in 2003 and has been a cornerstone of growth ever since. Through improvements to its facilities and operations, CEO John McConnell established a winning strategy that the company continues to extend and refine through its sister properties.
McConnell Golf emerged as an industry leader by offering members access to a collection of pristine golf courses designed by legendary architects such as Ross, Pete Dye and Arnold Palmer. Consistently ranked among the best in their respective states, McConnell Golf proudly hosts one PGA tournament, two Korn Ferry Tour events and several acclaimed amateur and collegiate contests. Its “pure golf for the true golfer” motto transcends agronomy, sport and culinary disciplines – it is a principle lived every day through exceptional facilities and service.
With his passion for the game, John McConnell’s excitement to offer the best collection of golf courses also encompasses state-of-the-art amenities that foster active, healthy family lifestyles. The McConnell Golf membership enjoys family-friendly aquatics, modern fitness centers, tailored event offerings, on-site accommodations, tennis complexes and much more!
