Pine Needles Golf Club

About Pine Needles Golf Club:

One of our two Silver Medal Resorts as awarded by GOLF Magazine, Pine Needles offers character, warmth and comfort. Built in the 1950’s, this course has been meticulously restored under the watchful eye of Donald Ross aficionado, John Fought. The greens were rebuilt, bunkers were dug out, fresh sand was installed and some holes were “stretched” to return the shot values that Ross intended for this course. Pine Needles Golf Course plays to a par-71 and a maximum distance of 7,015 yards. The course rating is 72.2 with a slope rating of 131.

Pine Needles is consistently ranked as one of the Top 100 Courses You Can Play by Golf Magazine's panel of experts. Tucked in amid magnolias, hollies, dogwoods and longleaf pines--and throw in some brilliant azaleas in springtime--Pine Needles is pure delight, yet a strong enough test to have hosted the U.S. Women's Open in 1996, 2001, and 2007. Pine Needles is a classic memorable golf course. You need every club in your bag and you remember every hole after you play it one time. The holes feel like they've been there forever.
