It’s rare that a golf course receives so many accolades in such a short time. Within the first year of opening, Dormie Club was included in the ”Top 100 American Courses” by both Golfweek and Golf Magazine. Now, Golfweek rates Dormie as the “2nd Best Course You Can Play in NC” and the “64th Best Modern Course in the US”. None of this should come as a surprise as Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore have created a new stunning masterpiece of American golf, taking advantage of Dormie’s spectacular wooded site that features dramatic 80-foot elevation changes, natural lakes, pine forests and sandy waste areas. These features are complimented by Dormie’s world-class attention to details and service. Include Dormie in your Sandhills golf package while you still can, since Dormie Club may revert to its original private status after 2015.

Longleaf is a Dan Maples designed golf course. Called one of the most playable courses in the North Carolina Sandhills, Longleaf was built on one of The Village of Pinehurst’s former horse training estates. Many of the original features — the white fences, rail posts and hedgerows — have been retained. Longleaf has two distinct nine-hole layouts. The front nine is pretty wide open while the back nine is tightly cut through the Carolina pines.

The Mid Pines course remains exactly as Donald Ross numbered and routed the course in 1921. Impeccably manicured to modern standards, Mid Pines is a classic gem, a rarity among Ross’s masterpieces because it is exactly as he crafted it more than 88 years ago. Even so, Mid Pines has played host to many national competitions including the 2002 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.

Many people have characterized the course as “pure Donald Ross” because of how it fits the land where it was built. It has few forced carries, artificial or contrived holes. It’s been said that Mid Pines was never conceived as a daunting task to the finest players competing under championship conditions…Mid Pines was intended simply as a fun course with adequate challenge for members and guests of a private club and resort.

One of two Silver Medal Resorts as awarded by GOLF Magazine, Pine Needles offers character, warmth and comfort. Built in the 1950’s and nestled among towering longleaf pines, the chalet style lodges provide exceptional comfort with recently renovated rooms and all of the luxuries of home. Balconies and terraces allow you to gaze upon the championship course, a Donald Ross gem that was recently ranked #4 in North Carolina.

In 2004, Pine Needles underwent an important restoration project. Under the watchful eye of Donald Ross aficionado, John Fought, the greens were rebuilt, bunkers were dug out and fresh sand was installed. Contours and dimensions of greens were restored to their original forms as shown by a series of vintage aerial photos of the course, returning the course to its original glory. Following the restoration, the Pine Needles course measures more than 7,000 yards in length with some holes having been “stretched” to return the shot values that Donald Ross intended for this course. Fairway bunkers are now placed so that they serve as the kind of hazard that Ross intended for the tees.

The Magnolia Course
Originally designed by Gene Hamm, the 18-Hole, par 72 Magnolia Course opened to rave reviews in 1989, and within two months was ranked as one of the top 50 courses in the entire southeastern United States by Golf Week. The Magnolia has seen a complete multi-million dollar redesign, to include new greens complexes with Crenshaw Bent Grass, bunkers and cart paths. The result is a truly fantastic lay-out with emphasis on risk-reward golf.

In an area that boasts numerous award winning courses, the Magnolia remains a local favorite. The course is characterized by vast elevation changes, generous driving areas, and spacious challenging greens. In the summer edition of the 2003 Pinehurst Magazine, the Magnolia was ranked as the fifth best course in the area, by the 43 PGA Golf Professionals. Locals aren’t the only ones who know a great course when they play it. LPGA players heaped praise on the course when the LPGA’s Pinewild Women’s Championship was contested in 1995. The Magnolia has been a qualifying site for numerous US Open Championships, the US Amateur Championship, as well as PGA Tour School Qualifying.
With the back tees measuring almost 7,500 yards, we like to say that the new Magnolia is “no bark, but all bite.”

The Holly Course
A special signature design by golf’s legendary world traveler, Gary Player, the Holly course is the perfect compliment to the Magnolia. The Holly features fewer bunkers, more water and smaller greens. Vast areas of longleaf pines were left untouched, and the course features numerous natural waste bunkers. The design utilizes the property’s many lakes, ponds and streams that wind through numerous wooded areas throughout the course. Multiple tees present a variety of challenges, but the course is definitely playable for golfers of all skill levels. The Holly is proud to have hosted the Carolinas PGA Pro-Pro Championship, as well as numerous other Carolinas Golf Association and USGA qualifying events.
