Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club, nestled in the heart of Southern Pines, is a historic gem that combines timeless charm with world-class golfing experiences. Steeped in tradition and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sandhills region, Mid Pines offers a unique retreat for golf enthusiasts and travelers seeking a peaceful escape.
Designed by the legendary Donald Ross in 1921 — and restored by Kyle Franz in 2013 — the 18-hole championship golf course at Mid Pines is a masterpiece of classic design. Franz’s renovation was honored as the best U.S. resort renovation and “Restoration of the Year.”
The course, often characterized as “pure Donald Ross,” was designed to fit perfectly into the natural landscape, as were many Ross signature features, including strategic bunkering, undulating greens, and tree-lined fairways, provide a challenging yet rewarding experience for players of all skill levels. Renowned for its pristine conditions and meticulous maintenance, this iconic design offers a true test of golfing prowess while immersing players in the rich history of the game.
