Southern Pines Golf Club, a vintage Donald Ross-designed course dating to the early 1900s, is now under management of the company that owns and operates the Pine Needles and Mid Pines.
We removed the right front greenside bunker on the 2nd hole, which was not part of Ross’ original design, and restored the crossing feature.

October 28th is a special day at Pine Needles as we remember the contributions of Peggy Kirk Bell, on her birthday. 2019 will mark not only the 60th anniversary of her Ladies Golfari schools, but her induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Her legacy lives on.

Bunkers are roughed in on the 1st hole.
Tightening of landing area with some mounding for the longer hitters. Note the new back tee for

The transformation on 18 included adding a bunker in place of trees that had grown in, improving the severe bottom tiers of the green and restoring the big bump on the front left of the green that is both a hazard and a helper.

Some holes at Southern Pines, like the second, offer blind drives over crests of hills. Other holes, like the third, offer well defined targets where it is clear what the golfer must do.

Mid Pines

, Par 3: A moderate length par 3. An extra club may be necessary due to the elevation and fronting bunkers. The green is very undulated and the far right pin placement makes this hole very difficult. For more tips, visit

There’s a lot happening on 18 right now. The tee has been moved to the left to create a better angle and the left bunker was repositioned to restore Ross’ strategy. A right fairway bunker was a added for definition and the greenside bunkers will provide a stunning finishing hole.

Underneath the Longleaf pines in the Sandhills of North Carolina, you’ll find two of the finest Donald Ross courses in the state. And, for a limited time, you can play as many rounds as you want.

Just wait until you see the progress we’ve made on the right side bunkers 👀

Kyle Franz has done his best to channel the legendary Donald Ross on the dozens of “Ross Restoration” jobs for which he’s been hired. On his latest at the Southern Pines Golf Club, that means even rediscovering a “lost hole.”
Long hitters may lay back off the tee to avoid the bunkers and sandy knots on
#9
.
Mid- to short-iron approach makes for a good birdie opportunity. An approach shot to the middle of the green avoids the "Devil's Den" on the right.
