Today will see a rare visit to the Southern Pines Golf Club for a day of golf. I say a rare visit because for locals here in the Pinehurst area, Southern Pines club has not been fee friendly. However, this year they have added their course to some local discounts and I expect they will get more play from locals as a result. The course is one of a few in the country that is owned by an Elks club. However, my sources tell me that it is currently being managed by another golf facility in the area and may possibly be for sale by the Elks. Years ago when I first started coming to the Pinehurst area, you could play this course for a very low cost if you were a visiting Elk but for whatever reason, that stopped happening much to the disappointment of member Elks. I look forward to today’s round as it always was a very nice course to play. Attached below is a rundown of the course and it’s history. I’ll let you know how the course plays at the end of the day. Happy golfing from this average golfer!
