Donald Ross classic in the Sandhills: one of the region's oldest courses

Southern Pines, NC · 1.3 mi away

Pine Needles in Southern Pines, North Carolina, is a classic Donald Ross design that dates to the 1920s and has become one of the most important courses in women's golf. The course has hosted four U.S. Women's Opens, most recently in 2022, along with the 2019 U.S. Senior Women's Open. It's a public course with a traditional Sandhills setting of rolling terrain, pine trees and sandy soil. Kyle Franz completed a significant restoration in 2017, bringing back many of the characteristics of Ross's original design while updating the bunkers, greens and surrounding areas. The course is known for its excellent green complexes, strategic bunkering and the way it uses the natural movement of the property. Pine Needles also has a unique place in golf history thanks to Peggy Kirk Bell, who owned the resort for decades and became one of the most influential figures in women's golf. She helped make Pine Needles a major destination for women's golf instruction and was the first woman inducted into the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame.

Talamore is a Rees Jones design in Southern Pines, built on sandy Sandhills ground about eight miles from the Pinehurst campus. It opened in 1991 along the Midland Road corridor, in the wave of resort-era courses that filled the area at the time. The layout runs through rolling pine-lined corridors on the region's native sand base, with the bunkering and green contouring characteristic of Jones's work. A remastering project has since reworked the greens and playing corridors. Its position among neighbouring Sandhills layouts makes it a natural pairing on a multi-course stay.
