McConnell Golf

This Veterans Day, we honor and thank the brave men and women in uniform who have served our country. As we come together through a golf marathon fundraiser to support PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), we are reminded of their service and sacrifice.

On Monday, Holston Hills Country Club, Country Club of Asheville, The Reserve Golf Club, Raleigh Country Club and Wilson Country Club teed off for the cause, with additional clubs participating November 16, 23 and 24.

Every dollar raised goes directly to the PGA HOPE program serving the area closest to each participating club, helping expand access to golf for local veterans and military members. This Veterans Day, help us give back to those who have given so much by following the link below: charity.pledgeit.org/mcconnellgolf

Located behind the No. 1 tee at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation, a unique birdhouse has been part of the property's landscape since the club's early years. Originally built as a nesting place for purple martins, it remains one of Wakefield's distinctive features, welcoming golfers and visitors alike.

Recently restored, the birdhouse inspired a new alternate logo that celebrates Wakefield's history, character and commitment to environmental stewardship. The restoration also reflects Wakefield's ongoing commitment to conservation as an Audubon International-certified property.

It was an eventful Monday as the Grayson Murray Classic took place at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. McConnell Golf is proud to partner with the @GM_FDN in its efforts to raise awareness of mental health challenges while honoring the life of our former junior scholar, Grayson Murray. He will forever be missed, but may his legacy live on through helping others. ⛳

How many golf courses can one person play in a lifetime? Daryl “Turboe” Boe is aiming for 3,000. ⛳

For National Golf Lovers Day, we’re highlighting a member whose passion for golf has taken him to 2,852 courses, including every McConnell Golf property across North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Daryl’s quest began in 1994 at Musgrove Mill Golf Club, where he started documenting the courses he played. Now, just 148 more stands between him and 3,000.
