Southeastern Classic Golf Tournament
About the Southeastern Classic
Now in its 20th year, the Southeastern Classic has grown into one of the largest non-profit golf tournaments in the Triangle area. What began nearly two decades ago as a way to bring together friends of Southeastern has become a premier event that blends great competition with an even greater cause.
Over the past 19 years, the Southeastern Classic has raised more than $1.4 million—the equivalent of providing full scholarships for over 160 students. But this tournament is about more than golf. Every swing, putt, and sponsorship fuels the mission of Southeastern to train and equip students for a lifetime of Great Commission ministry. Through the generosity of hundreds of participants and sponsors, thousands of students are being prepared to take the Gospel to their neighbors and the nations.
When you play in the Southeastern Classic, you’re not just joining a tournament—you’re joining the mission.
What to Expect at the Southeastern Classic
The Southeastern Classic is hosted at North Ridge Country Club, one of the premier golf facilities in the Triangle. With its two championship 18-hole courses, players will enjoy a challenging yet rewarding day on pristine fairways and greens.

Tournament Format
The Southeastern Classic will be played in a Captain’s Choice (Scramble) format. In this format, all four players on a team tee off, then the team selects the best shot. All players then play their next shot from that chosen spot. This process continues until the ball is holed, and the team records one score per hole. This format allows players of all skill levels to contribute and keeps the pace of play moving smoothly.
- Rules & Tee Boxes: Complete tournament rules, including tee box positions, will be provided by North Ridge Country Club staff prior to the shotgun start.
- Magic Eraser Package: Each player automatically receives this package as part of their team registration—no need to purchase extras. The package includes:
- 2 mulligans
- 1 red tee shot
- Note: Mulligans and red tee shots may not be used on holes where you are competing for prizes such as closest to the pin or longest drive.
- Live Scoring: This year we will use Golf Genius for live scoring. One team member must download the app and use the unique code (provided by NRCC) to enter team scores throughout the round.
- Divisions: To ensure competitive balance, the field will be divided in half based on average team handicap:
- Seminary Division – Lower handicap teams
- College Division – Higher handicap teams
Food & Beverage
From the first tee to the last putt, you’ll be well taken care of:
- Breakfast served during morning check-in

- Complimentary drinks available throughout the round at beverage carts and food tents
