TEE IT UP Dear Membership, The start of fall has produced some fantastic golfing weather and excellent playing conditions on the course. In the past few months, we hosted an outstanding Peartree Classic Member-Guest, with Doug Bray and his guest John Vestal crowned overall winners! We also held the 2023 Men’s Club Championship. Rand Williams played three excellent rounds of golf under challenging conditions to win his 5th RCC Club Championship, tying him for the most in our club’s history. This year, the golf shop will host a Holiday Sale on Sunday, December 3rd, from 1:00 - 5:00 pm! Stop by and enjoy complimentary beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres while you shop. During the Holiday Sale, all Men’s and Women’s apparel will be discounted 15-50% and 15% off all clubs, balls, shoes, bags, and accessories. The Holiday Balloon Sale is an excellent opportunity to use any remaining golf shop credit earned during the 2023 season, as it will expire on December 31st. We will have complimentary gift wrapping available for any purchases made in the golf shop during the holiday season, so keep us in mind when shopping!
Adam McLaughlin, PGA, Director of Golf
The golf operation is finalizing the 2024 club tournament and course maintenance schedules. We anticipate an excellent golf schedule next year with some exciting changes and additions. Be on the lookout for the 2024 Raleigh Country Club Golf Booklet at the beginning of the year. Even though the leaves are changing and the days are getting shorter, there will be plenty of wonderful fall golf days ahead! Make sure to get in the last few rounds of 2023. If I can assist you in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out, as my door is always open!
2023 One Club Challenge Date: Sunday, November 19th Time: 11:30 am Tee Times Entry Deadline: Friday, November 10th Entry Fee: $25 per player (includes prizes) *Cart Fees Not Included Format: One Club Stroke Play Event. Net Skins Game. Net Double Par is the maximum score. Gross and Net Prizes

Tis the Season To Give Back
SPONSOR A CHILD Across Wake County, parents of young children have to choose between making a holiday meal or placing gifts under the Christmas tree. Raleigh Country Club would like to help these families in need by donating items to Angel Tree. We will have angel tags and drawstring bags available in early November for pick-up. These angel tags will help give struggling families some Christmas joy. Information about tag pick-up will be sent out once they have arrived. Please consider helping make a difference this holiday season.
TOYS FOR TOTS The mission of the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in our community. Drop-off will begin at the end of November and conclude mid-December to ensure that children receive their toys by Christmas. Donations will be collected in the lobby. Join us as we spread some holiday joy to children and families in our community.

HOLIDAY FUND BILLING On behalf of the McConnell Golf family and Raleigh Country Club, we would like to extend a big “Thank You” to all for your continued support. As in years past, we are asking you to join in on the holiday spirit and contribute to our Employee Holiday Fund. Contributing to the fund is a thoughtful way to show your appreciation to our heroes – our awesome staff members from the front of-house to the back-of-house, and all those helping hands who work behind-the-scenes. Thank you. While contributing to the fund is voluntary, a contribution will be reflected on the October 31 statement cycle for your convenience. Adjustments to the fund received by November 30, 2023 will be reflected on your November 30th statement. The contribution will then be distributed among all Raleigh Country Club employees throughout all departments.
