Short Grass is the free golf app used by golfers at Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club to log rounds, track their USGA handicap index, and run Nassau, Low Medal, and Skins bets — all on the course, in real time.
Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club, a timeless Donald Ross design nestled in the heart of Southern Pines, North Carolina, offers a captivating journey through golf's golden age. Opened in 1921, this course is a testament to Ross's genius, featuring his signature crowned greens, strategic bunkering, and natural routing that seamlessly integrates with the Sandhills' undulating terrain. After a meticulous restoration by Kyle Franz in 2013, Mid Pines has been returned to its original glory, enhancing its classic charm while ensuring a challenging and enjoyable experience for modern golfers.
The course is renowned for its firm and fast conditions, particularly the Bermuda grass fairways and greens, which demand precise shot-making and a deft touch around the putting surfaces. Every hole presents a unique strategic puzzle, encouraging players to think their way around the course rather than simply overpowering it. The natural flow of the layout, with minimal earth movement during its original construction, provides a serene and authentic golf experience, transporting players back to an era when golf was designed to be walked and savored.
Playing Mid Pines is an immersive experience, combining historical significance with exceptional playability. It's a course that rewards thoughtful strategy, creative recovery shots, and a strong short game. The resort atmosphere, with its historic inn overlooking the 18th green, adds to the allure, making it a quintessential destination for golf purists seeking a classic Southern golf adventure.
