Longleaf Golf & Family Club
About
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."

Round Cut Short due to Weather.
Only made it through 9 holes due to rain but liked what I experienced from the course. Staff was happy to give a 9 hole rain check. The 7 tee system is nice and very informative at the first hole as to which tees you should be playing. Inconsiderate group in front of me with no course etiquette and no ranger to be seen. But I imagine that is understandable considering the weather conditions of the day and lack of play. Eager to return on a sunny day to try it again.
Long Leaf in good shape
The course was in good shape. Greens were excellent for this time of year. It wasn’t over seeded but the dormant Bermuda was dense enough to not make a big difference. Good value. I would recommend it.
Expecting more!
When we got there no one was around. Told we had to wait. Course was very gimmicky on front side and not in great shape except the greens. Back side more normal golf.
Unfriendly staff does not like golf now deals
I had made two reservations using Golfnow for long leaf for two juniors . Me and my wife caddy them separately for speed of play , coaching etc reasons . When we did the bag drop we were provided two carts . At check in once they it clear we are on hot deal, the staff insisted that I need to use only one cart, then said we have pay for additional cart , which I was ready, then they changed their mind . Then they put us on a four seater without a windshield on cold morning.
Great Course after Southern Pines Disappointment
A day before, we played Southern Pines and it was NOT a good experience. SP failed on almost all counts:
staff friendliness to course conditions to the all-around "experience". By contrast, Longleaf excelled on most. Some very challenging holes but terrific course conditions and overall, very well-maintained. The greens were fantastic: fast, smooth and tough. That being said, there were some brutal pin placements which might test the best putters!
Unlike Southern Pines, we had modern golf carts with GPS and could drive on the fairways. The staff was welcoming and friendly and clearly they have a huge kids program which was in progress (loved seeing that with so many future golfers)
All in all, a great all-around experience and would visit again. Wished we had simply played there twice!
Excellent Layout
This place is awesome. The multiple tee box system makes it enjoyable for all. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape. Grab some buddies and play this course.
Disappointed!
We love this course and play here often. We were very upset that management allowed a Grandfather, his adult son, pregnant wife that didnt play and their 3year old daughter IN ONE CART! We got paired with them and was instantly SHOCKED! What were you thinking? We drove a hour to golf here and for 118$ did NOT enjoy our golf round at all. To top it off, they allowed the child to pretend golf with her play golf set while we were taking our second and third shot toward the green. Dangerous and irresponsible!
Enjoyed the course
You know there are so many choices in Pinehurst and you want to play decent courses at decent prices. This was one of them and I would play again.
Enjoyed our round very much
Great day!!! From the time we arrived til we left, staff was very welcoming. Play got a little slow, starter came out and moved a group ahead one hole to pick up pace. Met a lot of really nice folks, including the twosome we were paired with. 7 sets of tees, so whatever your skill level, you have a good test. Loved it, will be back
Awesome
This place is awesome. Great staff, nice clubhouse, very nice course. Greens roll well and even with 3+ inches of rain the past 48 hours the course was in great shape and not very wet at all. This is a great place if you have children as well as they are very focused on children’s golf and US Kids golf. Ready for another chance to play.
Excellent Condition
Longleaf was in excellent condition. Looking forward to playing it again now that we are more familiar with the greens.
Tee assessment good idea.
Glad this course has tee assessment options. More golfers need to use it. Pro Shop guy was a little patronizing with 2 females suggesting we use short yardage. Get range balls and check it out.We picked the correct tees. Great day.
