Event Details
The Carolina Seniors Golf Association will be traveling to North Carolina May 17th-20th staying at The Mid Pines Inn and have extended an invitation to our members to join their event! Participants will be playing both Pine Needles and Mid-Pines courses and a brilliant time will be had for all!
Pine Needles, a Don Ross designed course, has hosted two Women's Open tournaments and is a Silver Medal Resort as awarded by GOLF Magazine. In 2004, Pine Needles underwent an important restoration project. Under the watchful eye of 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 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.
Accommodations
The Mid Pines Inn
Built in 1921, our stately Georgian-style Inn is renowned for true Southern hospitality and distinction. The Inn wears her age with aplomb. It's as though you expect to see Sam Snead holding forth at the bar, or Julius Boros showing his putting stroke to an admirer in the lobby. Many of our 103, beautifully appointed rooms feature original antiques, with all of the comforts of home.In addition to the charming main hotel, we offer villas with kitchenettes (microwave and fridge only) overlooking the 4th green and 10th fairway. History lives here, to be sure, but this is the 21st Century.You'll find all the comforts a modern golfer, business traveler and families require; including wireless internet access, an outdoor pool (located at Pine Needles), game room with pool table, foosball and ping pong, four lighted tennis courts, a well-stocked lounge andfine dining.
