Southern Pines Golf Club

Not quite there yet But will be so nice next summer Redo is well don’t

This is now one of the best courses in the area. Play it now before the rates go up.

This course used to be a low point in the area, but now is in my top 3. The greens are pure and fast, and the renovations are fantastic. This is a must play for the money when making a trip here.

Played yesterday for first time post-restoration. This course was already a favorite in the area beforehand, but now it sits just behind #2 and #4 for me. I think this course sits on the best piece of land in Pinehurst and has the most potential because of it. The layout and topography of the place remind me of Augusta - I'm serious. Removing trees really opened up the course and especially helped the par 3's, which I consider now to be absolutely top-notch. The new greens were perfect yesterday, and the resurfacing made them play much smaller than they appeared. Overall, I always felt this course could be so much better than it was, and it was already a great Ross course. I'm glad someone was able to invest the proper resources to help this place reach its potential. It's not fully there yet since it's only a month into reopening, but you can tell it's not far off.

A wonderful restoration. With the right maintenance this would be the nr 2 premier course in the Sandhills, right behind Pinehurst #2. The course is not finished and many of the "waste areas" are already covered with weeds. The sand was so beaten up with unraked footprints that my group lost balls in them. The greens were a great improvement over their previous versions - undulating, interesting and putting very true. The fairways are sparse in places and will need a while to grow in. They were also overly wet and very weedy in places. I hope the owners realize what a gem they have and put some money into maintenance. It's only been open a few weeks and is already looking worn.

First time I’ve ever played course. Compares well with Mid Pines and Pine Needles. Has the Donald Ross vibe on every hole. Almost Every green has a false front you must clear. Greens, fairway Angles and views are classic Ross. Work still being done to the course. Can’t wait to play it again, and again in future as the course matures.

Great time playing this masterpiece.

If you love Ross courses, you'll love Southern Pines GC. It's classic Ross: moderately challenging approaches to challenging greens. The greens here are not as dramatically turtle-backed as those at Pinehurst #2 or Pine Needles, but they will keep you working.

Recently renovated greens means greens were very firm and a bit shaggy. Soft greens are better for scoring, of course, but these weren't unduly punitive, and they will get better in time. Overall it's a a great layout, classic old-time inland Carolina golf a la Ross.

Playing time was an excruciating 5 hours, with several bottlenecks (holes #2 and #10 in particular) with groups stacked up at the tee box. Normally I'd find this really annoying but hey, I played a great Ross course for less than $200. I'm happy with that.

I blame golfnow, the whole course is under construction, there are no active greens, they put the flagstick in the fairways, so there is no putting. I played 1 hole and complained to the pro shop that this is unplayable, he agreed and said it will be back open 9/1/2021 (1 month from now). GolfNow should have notified us in the course details but did not. I asked for a refund and he said I have to go through the golf now website. I have browsed all through the site and found no way to ask for refund. I left and went and played a different course and now I am out more money. I have used golf now for over 100 rounds in the years and this is the first time this has happened. none the less, I got screwed out of my money. this course should be banned from play until it has been verified to be in playable condition.

The course is going through some updates and all is explained to you upon arrival. The staff is super friendly and the Buffalo chicken wrap is fantastic.

Temp greens. Didnt play. Asking for refund38 mins on hold for customer aetvice. Still havent called me
Back. Nobody using phone at golf ow today.

This course is undergoing renovations, has lugged fairways, temporary greens ,, and is only open to members until September.Yes 

Course is under construction. All temp greens. Will be great, but not now!

until they are finished with renovations stay away. 18 temp greens, fires burning trees that were taken down and cart paths torn up. it will be nice but can not imagine the cost of green fees when it is finished. loved playing this course in the past

6 temporary greens and still charged $60 to play. The temporary greens were in the middle of the fairway while those six holes were in repair. Course has switched hands to Money hungry owners that are milking Donald Ross' name. No doubt it will be a beautiful Course one day but it's Moore County, there are great courses everywhere. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

good course and good value, played it well but the conditions were atrocious as they rebuild the course, the 7 temp holes were virtually unplayable to putt

A terrific 1906 Donald Ross course which I believe may have lost it's way. Great layout and no two wholes were alike. Greens are terrific, tees were fine as were most of the fairways. No rough to speak of because... Appears they have new ownership and the course is under MAJOR renovation. That said, we found it very playable just taking a free drop when we drifted into construction. That includes lots of the sand. I think it's a great bargain now and you can tell it will be a top course someday. Probably next year.
