A rarity among Donald Ross masterpieces, Mid Pines Golf Course remains exactly as the world renowned architect built it in 1921 and impeccably restored by Kyle Franz in 2013. The renovation was honored with GOLF Magazine’s Best U.S. Resort Renovation and Restoration of the Year. The course, often characterized as “pure Donald Ross,” was designed to fit perfectly into the natural landscape, as was Ross’s signature approach.
Mid Pines was not intended to be a daunting challenge for the finest players competing under championship conditions, but was envisioned as a course that would offer friendly competition for members and guests of a private club and resort. However, fanatics and pros have taken note of the perfectly preserved course and Mid Pines has become a classic gem, which has now played host to many national competitions including the 2002 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.

COURSE HOLE-BY-HOLE
-
PAR 4 | HDCP 5A classic opening hole. Try to favor the right side of the fairway on the
drive to avoid the sandy area on the left. This position will also eliminate
an approach over the heavily bunkered left side of the green.White 365Green 350Blue 401Red 310YardageHOLE 1 -
PAR 3 | HDCP 15A moderate length par 3. An extra club may be necessary due to the
elevation and fronting bunkers. The green is very undulated and the far
right pin placement makes this hole extremely difficult.White 162Green 159Blue 190Red 116YardageHOLE 2 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 7An excellent hole requiring both an accurate tee shot and approach. Aim
tee shot to the left side of the fairway to allow for right-hand bounce to
center. A lateral hazard runs down the right side of this hole.White 386Green 242Blue 437Red 242YardageHOLE 3 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 13A short but deceiving par 4. Play tee shot toward the left side of the
fairway while avoiding the bunker in the landing area. Long hitters should
use an iron off the tee, leaving only a short iron to a narrow green. Keep
approach shot to the left of the hole.White 309Green 284Blue 330Red 261YardageHOLE 4 -
PAR 5 | HDCP 9A par 5, reachable in two, yields a good birdie opportunity. Tee shot down
the right side of fairway will kick toward the center avoiding the sandy
areas on the left. Second shot offers a long iron approach from a downhill
lie, or a layup. Large, well-bunkered green makes this a classic Donald Ross
hole.White 458Green 442Blue 484Red 373YardageHOLE 5 -
PAR 5 | HDCP 1A long par 5 where the drive should favor the right side of the fairway.
Avoid the bunkers on the right on the second shot. A short iron on the
third shot will need to be accurate to this small green.White 480Green 450Blue 537Red 370YardageHOLE 6 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 3An uphill par 4 where drive should be played down the left side of the
fairway. This leaves a good approach angle to avoid the front-right
greenside bunker. A deep fairway bunker also guards the right side of the
fairway. Keep your second shot below the hole.White 366Green 355Blue 383Red 300YardageHOLE 7 -
PAR 3 | HDCP 17A downhill par 3 that can be deceiving and is well-defended by a cavalcade
of bunkers. A shot over the green will make par difficult. A classic Donald
Ross par 3.White 165Green 146Blue 179Red 128YardageHOLE 8 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 11A short par 4 where long hitters should use a long iron off the tee to avoid
sandscapes. Therefore, a short iron approach to the middle of the green
leaves a makeable putt.White 324Green 319Blue 340Red 294YardageHOLE 9 -
PAR 5 | HDCP 2A long uphill par 5, difficult to reach in two. Keep second shot short of
approach bunker on the right. A small green surrounded by three bunkers
requires a precise approach.White 485Green 460Blue 514Red 377YardageHOLE 10 -
PAR 3 | HDCP 18Club selection is critical as this par 3 plays short. Small green is
well-bunkered. Play for the center of the green.White 163Green 151Blue 180Red 125YardageHOLE 11 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 8A drive down the right side of the fairway is safest because the ball will
kick left. A riskier tee shot down the left side will reward you with the best
approach. Keep the ball below the hole as this green slopes severely back to
front.White 360Green 328Blue 380Red 272YardageHOLE 12 -
PAR 3 | HDCP 10A long par 3, a Donald Ross trademark. Play for the center of the green.

undulating green.White 192Green 149Blue 232Red 134YardageHOLE 13 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 16Fairway slopes severely to the right. A 3-wood off the tee will leave you
with a short iron. Green slopes severely from back to front and left to
right. A shot to the center of the green leaves an opportunity for birdie on
this exciting approach.White 343Green 330Blue 361Red 273YardageHOLE 14 -
PAR 5 | HDCP 12A par 5, reachable in two. A drive that avoids both bunkers on this sloping
fairway allows for an opportunity to be more aggressive with your second
shot. A fairly flat green will yield many birdies and a possibility for eagle.White 478Green 469Blue 542Red 386YardageHOLE 15 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 6A scenic dogleg left par 4. From elevated tees, aim your drive to the middle
of the fairway. Take an extra club on your second shot to avoid the false
front.White 376Green 345Blue 440Red 297YardageHOLE 16 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 14Optimum tee shot should be hit down the middle with a slight fade. Long
hitters can gain by aiming down the right side, but will bring more trouble
into play. Right side of green slopes severely, keep your ball left.White 362Green 339Blue 391Red 312YardageHOLE 17 -
PAR 4 | HDCP 4This hole is noted as one of the most beautiful and challenging holes in
the Southeast. A good drive will leave a middle iron into a large green. A
meandering swale in the middle of the green makes for interesting putts.White 392Green 328Blue 411Red 319YardageHOLE 18
