There's very little not to like about Pine Needles. Typical Donald Ross design, which further reinforces the idea he was a very frustrated and/or angry man. :-) The course is kept in wonderful shape, the design is magnificent, and it has many tee boxes for all skill levels. Some advanced golfers might think the course is too short from the back tees. Au contraire. You really need to think your way around the course, and frankly it may penalize some good shots if you don't know where to place your shots, which is likely to occur the first time you play the course. Doglegs, elevated fairways that fall away on the approach, tricky greens... But the layout and condition of the course is very good and the experience is well worth it.

First opened for play in the Spring of 1921, this Donald Ross-traditional course features small, undulating greens, narrow fairways and a variety of holes to test the skill of any golfer.

One of my favorite courses in the Southern Pines area. This one is a gem. Typical Donald Ross, but set in an environment of rolling hills and deep beauty. The course is wonderful and offers many teeing options. Just play this course, and you'll see the genius of Donald Ross and golf the way it was meant to be played, on a course laid out to challenge anyone at any level. The greens are tricky and undulating, and you'll be perplexed by the slopes and breaks in many cases, but the contours and layout and aesthetics of this course are simply wonderful. I will say, the staff at Mid Pines resort is great, and the food is very good. The facility itself (hotel) is past its prime and very dated.

Longleaf Golf & Family Club is an 18-hole Dan Maples designed course that offers every golfer an exceptional experience. In 2015, Bill Bergin was hired to refresh the course, including new bunkers, waste areas, new greens, and additional tees. This renovation brought the LONGLEAF TEE SYSTEM to life...a concept that provides seven tee options (13 including blended tees) that allow fair and fun play for ALL golfers. When you visit, be sure to participate in our Tee Assessment that will pinpoint which tee you should play from...all based on your driver distance. No time for 18 holes? Then Bottlebrush is your answer. Take 30 minutes and play our very challenging, six-hole short course with holes ranging from 50 to 100 yards. Located off of historic Midland Road in Southern Pines, Longleaf Golf & Family Club has been called the 'Most playable course in the Sandhills' by Ron Witten from Golf Digest.
