Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club and Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club
Separated by only a row of lush pine trees, these two resorts have attracted return visitors time and again for outstanding golf and upscale amenities. Both courses, situated on more than 500 acres of North Carolina's most interesting real estate, were designed by famous golf architect Donald Ross and have earned their place as two of the nation's best courses. You can chill out in Pine Needles' casual setting, or stay at Mid Pines with its more upscale atmosphere. Either way, you enjoy modern amenities, including beautifully decorated rooms and some of the best Southern dining in the country.
