Located in the center of the Village of Southern Pines, this 6,500-yard vintage course has drawn locals, professionals and tourists alike since 1906. Renowned as an authentic American gem, it’s the third original course Donald Ross ever designed — after the front nine of Pinehurst #2 and the 18-hole Winchester Country Club course in 1901. Ross completed the back nine of Pinehurst No. 2 in 1907.
