Senior Mens Golf Association - North Ridge Country Club
Raleigh NC USA

The Men's Senior Golf Association (SGA) at North Ridge Country Club, Raleigh NC, USA is a group whose primary purpose is: Enjoying golf!

SGA members also have at least three major tournaments a year, held at North Ridge:

  • Match play tournament
  • SGA Championship
  • One-day mixed-team event held with the cooperation of the North Ridge Country Club Ladies Golf Association

In addition, SGA members may sign up to participate in the Capital City Interclub events. The events are one-day flighted events (with lunch) held throughout the months of April-thru-October.

The SGA also holds frequent one-day shotgun start events (most include lunch) for SGA members.

The purpose of this Web site is to provide information related to the above as well as to provide a central place for inter-member (SGA-related) communication.

News/Most-Recent Updates

  • Un-official Naming of Golf Holes at NRCC
    I have built a Web page on our site for this. Purely un-official. Just for fun.

    We had two votes come in during June, 2011. Thanks! Since then: No feedback. The votes were for Lakes 14 as "Turtle Hole" (that hole now has two vote-names: "Perfection" and "Turtle Hole"; I left the chosen name as "Perfection" as the votes are one-each and I make the final decision)! The second vote was for Lakes 16 and "Big Bertha" - Big Bertha continues to be the name of choice for Lakes 16.
    Why not send YOUR vote in?

    Lakes #14
    		Turtle Hole
    Lakes #16
    		Big Bertha

  • Question(s) of the Week

    I had a vote come in for the best 18th hole of our Interclubs. The voter picked #18 at Brier Creek. A good choice! See, below, for more information. Reminder: If you DO vote, please include your eMail address and name on your input (that will NOT be published; it, just, lets me know you are not a "spammer"). Thanks!

    1. What is your favorite (NRCC SGA) 18th Hole on the Interclub "Circuit"? - and: Why is that your favorite?

      Answer/comment so far:

      • Macgregor's 18th. Visually beautiful and allows for all handicappers to have a chance to contribute. I also could have chosen: Prestonwood Highlands #18, Brier Creek's #18, Bentwinds #18, Raleigh's #18 or, for that matter: North Ridge Oaks #18. We get to play a lot of great finishing holes! ds

      • Brier Creek's 18th (No reason given) anonymous

Shot(s) of the (SGA)Day(s) October 15, 2013

Tom Yancey: Lakes #14 Par 4 and Lakes #12 Par 4 - Wow. I played with Tom on this day and he hit two terrific bunker shots. We started on the Lakes 14th hole and he pushed his opening drive slightly right - long - catching the last part of the right-side fairway bunkers. Having little chance to hit the green (so I thought) as he was located just short of the edge of the bunker, Tom hit a perfect shot onto the green 9.5 feet left of the pin. A terrific first-non-drive-shot of the day. Later, on the 12th Lakes, Tom duplicated a similar-situation shot from the left-side bunker. Again, just short of the edge of the bunker, he hit the green this time 11.25 feet from the pin. Two terrific golf shots.

If you witnessed or executed another "Shot of the Day" as part of an SGA Event, just send us an eMail

  • "Best 18" holes for our Interclubs

    Note: In 2008 I started a set of "Best 18" holes for our Interclubs.

    I was updating the "Best" 13th hole recently and as I did so I noticed that the golf designers for our Interclubs' courses all seemed to come up with fine 13th holes. I have, so far, chosen North Ridge Lakes 13th (Par-5) as the best --- but, 13th holes that I have identified as special are:


      North Ridge CC (Lakes) #13 Par-5
      Croasdaile CC #13 Par-5
      Brier Creek CC #13 Par-4
      Macgregor CC #13 Par-4
      North Ridge (Oaks) #13 Par-3
      Raleigh CC #13 Par-4

    Which of these would be YOUR choice?

    Of course, even if the hole is not mentioned / shown in the Web page, just vote for YOUR favorite hole(s) of our Interclub rotation.
