PGA Tour professional Will MacKenzie grew up in Greenville, North Carolina where he regularly played at McConnell Golf’s newest property, Brook Valley Country Club.
He says of the course, “Brook Valley was always a step above the others in shot quality, the feel of the golf course, and how it was routed... It’s got some of the best rolling terrain in Greenville... but it needed to be restored. McConnell Golf [came] just in time.”
He continued, “We are excited about Mr. McConnell coming in. From what I’ve seen, McConnell creates great clubs and Brook Valley needed that. They just haven’t been able to find that recipe for the golf course financially to make the course what we think it could be.”
MacKenzie adds about the city of Greenville, “We are just over an hour from the beach; you can get to Raleigh in an hour. It’s a great place to grow up. We had fantastic recreation, unbelievable competition, tons of great athletes coming out of there. It’s a thriving community.”
