Dan Maples, architect of the nationally acclaimed Pit Golf Links, has created another masterpiece only minutes from the Village of Pinehurst. Longleaf Golf & Family Club was formerly the site of Starland Farms, for years the training ground of some of the country's top thoroughbreds. As a tribute to its colorful history, Maples incorporated some of the features and flavor of the old facility into the golf course, including part of the fence and training track. The front nine at Longleaf was designed in the Scottish open style with subtly rolling fairways.The back nine, in contrast, is heavily tree-lined and dramatically elevated. Ron Whitten of Golf Digest called Longleaf "...the most playable course in Pinehurst."

Good layout, played from tee box #5 which for our group was the right tee box. Greens were quick and tricky to putt, but rolled true. If you missed the fairway there were some areas that were very difficult due to the rough or grasses growing off the fairway. The remnants of the old horse track was a neat nod to the areas history, Good practice areas.

Good Course

Course was in great shape. Greens are super fast putts run true. Tight fairways. Layout is a lot a Scottish course. Do not hit out of fairways. The grass is that tall grass that is hard or near about impossible to hit out of. Very friendly staff .

Greens great; pace extra slow

5+ hour round due to no ranger. Waited on every shot. Course in good shape and greens very nice.

Longleaf

Like course, staff friendly, amenities limited. Both times cart people appeared after we had unloaded bags, & both times eating when they did come up. On returning carts, sitting under building…eating……. Not sure that is good for first impressions!

A solid track to play.

I don't have anything bad to say about this course. Friendly staff. Very nice conditions. Greens were smooth and fair to putt. Tips played at 6600yds. That surprised me how short it was. Price fair for the area. It's not a Pinehurst course and it doesn't come with a Pinehurst price tag. I'm in Pinehurst and I wanted a bit more from course though. It could use a face lift. I'd play it again and I would definitely recommend it.
