Southern Pines Golf Club

This is an under valued Donald Ross course. Well designed. In very good condition. All handicap levels will like this course.

The infrastructure is somewhat tired. It needs a bit of TLC and it would sparkle.

We played in 3.5 hours and loved the course.

With all the hype about how great this course is,I was a little disappointed.I remember it from years ago when it was in better shape.We played a couple of days after a rain storm and there was a lot of washed out areas including cart paths. Traps were unraked if not half full of water.Both halfway houses were closed,permently so it seems.Greens were slooow. Got a deal with Golfnow or I wouldn't have played there for the rack rate.

This was a great layout and a very good afternoon of golf. We enjoyed the challenge of the course. The staff was very friendly and we would go back there to play again soon!

Played in July 2015. 95 and humid. 11:00 am tee time. Practically had the course to ourselves. Older facilities but the course was built in 1906 by Donald Ross so it's been around awhile! Course design is beautiful but crabgrass and weeds around edges needed taken care of. Guys were mowing and maintaining but lots of weeds along edges and crabgrass on tee boxes and around fringes of greens. Greens had been aerated so didn't get true rolls. $35 golfnow rate would be the most I'd pay for this course. $60 and $70 rates are way too much for this course. Overall good experience. Greens are framed pleasing to the eye. Myrtle trees were in full bloom...pink and purple. Made the course attractive.

I have played almost every course in the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area over the past 15 years and this one is an A list must play track. Greens are the best in the area right now and overall course conditions are better than all other area courses with the exception of #2, Mid-Pines and Pine Needles. Undulating greens, many elevation changes and sloped fairways will challenge all levels of golfer. If you can get a deal on GN for $50, jump on it and you will not be disappointed.

The course was in very good condition considering that it was 100 degrees. Very slow foursomes had course backed up.

Friendly staff, fun layout and good greens. The rest of the experience was mediocre at best. Tee boxes not mown in quite a few days. Fairways and rough very patchy.

I know you pay a premium in Pinehurst, but just expected better playing conditions considering the cost. Played in the afternoon at Whispering Pines and the conditions were excellent at half the price.

Probably will play again if price is right!!!

Staff was top notch! Thank you again for getting us out early!

Staff went beyond expectations. Greens very challenging and fairways only a little thin after a harsh winter in North Carolina. Glad we chose this course to play as both guys and gals were pleased with the course layout. Hope to return in the near future.

In a time when nearly all courses throughout the state are suffering from winter kill, this course has amazing greens and fairways.
Everything from tee to green is in great shape and a layout that is a good test of golf from the Black Tees.
Doug in the ProShop was a pleasure to talk with while setting up our group and his staff made our day great.
I would highly suggest that you visit and play this wonderful course and I can assure you that our group will return in the fall to play again.
Thanks for a great time.

Overall condition was very good. Greens were in good shape and quick. Fairways were very good as well. Like the layout and shape of the golf holes. I'd give the course an 8 on a 10 scale and would recommend anyone play it. Only negative was the price to play. $70 is a little steep for what you get.

The clubhouse isn't much but the guy working there was great to me. The facilities are great. Range is good enough and the putting green and chipping green are very good and similar to the course. The course actually had fairways and rough around the greens!!!!!!!! The greens are large and have tiers and tons of movement in them. Its a short course like most NC courses but if you play it from the back tees it will be fun. The flags tell you where the hole is located. Everyone of the par 3s are great and there are 2 easily drivable par 4s and 3 others that could be drivable with wind and a dry week but an errant tee shot would make the hole rough. Greens are in great shape, fast and extremely smooth. I played memorial day week and there were tons of older players out there. Pace of play was pretty slow because 3 of the short par 4s and two par 3s are all bunched together but i played alone so i couldn't complain. I enjoyed the course. They even cut weeds and bushes from around some of the pine trees. If they had cart paths, my guess is that this course would be 5 star but since there is no real quite of where to drive people kill the grass. Very fun course. If you're under a 12 Handicap it needs to be played from the back. I paid $40 at 2pm on a tuesday and that price is worth it.

Facilities a little dated, but the course is a great design in good shape. Classic old style golf course.

A great layout in fantastic shape, and well worth the $. The only drawback were the clouds of pine pollen, and the pace of play, but since we were behind a couple of 4somes, we couldn't complain, since it was a beautiful day to play. We will be back!

I've played here twice. There are a lot of beautiful courses here in NC. This is one of my favorites. Challenging but fair.

I played this course in March and therefore didn't expect pristine conditions. However, there were many parts of the course that really could use some upgrading, including the cart paths. The greens had been punched recently and had a little impact on the putts but they were still fairly quick. I'm sure there are many better courses in the Pinehurst area.

Cool day and few golfers , but course was a great play. Will be back to play. If you can find a good price, a must play course.

Considering the weather here for the past two weeks (Snow and Ice storms) the course was in remarkable condition. Unfortunately the greens had been punched and top dressed. They were still ok and rolled pretty true. Greens are large and undulating.
The staff were great and even got us out early before our scheduled time. Pace of play was excellent. Got a great rate on Golfnow.
Will play again for sure when I'm in the area.

Great course, very tuff walk. A Donald Ross classic that has kept its look and feel over time. A must play if your in the area.

I enjoy the course though it has been over a year since I played. Staff are friendly, regulars on the course gladly waved me through. Greens and traps very well maintained. Teed off around 10:15 AM and finished before 1PM, so I played another 18. Only drawback was encountering a five-some that held up play for the last 5 holes. Greens are really fast.
