Southern Pines Golf Club, a vintage Donald Ross-designed course dating to the early 1900s, is now under management of the company that owns and operates Pine Needles and Mid Pines in Southern Pines. The course recently underwent an 18-month improvement plan that included design tweaks from architect Kyle Franz, who supervised the Pine Needles and Mid Pines restorations as well. The goal was to make the course feel as much like a Ross original, staying true to the well preserved routing and trying to remove the superfluous elements that were added over the decades.
