Southern Pines Country Club, Southern Pines NC - Pinehurst Area Golf Course Review

Southern Pines Country Club in Southern Pines NC is a Donald Ross Course that is a great place to play golf.  It's open to the public so anyone can have the experience of playing a Ross course that has been there for over 100 years.  The course is kind of short, but it has typical Ross greens that can be very difficult even when you hit a good shot to get on the green.  The course is always in decent shape despite the fact that the maintenance budget is a fraction of many other area courses.  The rates are very fair as well.  In the Summer, the fees can be as low as $70 inlcuding cart.  In the Spring and Fall, rates get up to about $100 on ther weekends.  My favorite holes are the middle 12 holes.  That doesn't mean the other 6 are not great.  The course is at edge of an established nieghborhood in Southern Pines, but there is only limited golf front real estate on this course.  There are a few new condos on the course.  The Club itself is located in a residential neighborhood that has wonderful moderately priced homes.  The Pro Shop is good & the grille is above average for the area.  The driving range is below average.  But still, this is just about my favorite course to play in the Pinehurst area.  It's a very relaxing place to play, & I have a much better chance to shoot a good score than on some of the other Donald Ross courses in Pinehurst.  There are a couple of options when it comes to joining the Southern Pines CC, both of which are very affordable http://www.mcdevitttownandcountry.com/info/Avestra-golf-deal.htm  For more information about the Southern Pines CC, about golf or real estate, please give me a call at 800-788-8814 or visit us on the internet: http://www.mcdevitttownandcountry.com
