Formed in 1967, MacGregor Downs Country Club engaged Willard Byrd to set out an 18-hole course on the shores of Lake MacGregor. Six years after its foundation, the club hosted the third (and final) edition of the U.S. Professional Match Play Championship. Today, the club’s tree-lined Bermuda fairways and greens are rated among the best in the Raleigh region.
MacGregor Downs was purchased by Concert Golf Partners in 2014, becoming one of twenty-one high-end golf and country clubs in the boutique owner/operator’s nationwide portfolio. This acquisition resulted in a course improvement plan which targeted the drainage and irrigation infrastructure.
Measuring 7,003 yards from the back tees, the course is routed in a giant clockwise circle around a central lake, with both tree-lined nines ending close to the clubhouse. Players cross the lake at the 1st, where the green sits on the other side, then the lake is crossed again at the 18th, with tee shots played across the water before heading hard right to the home green.
