Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club Tee Times

I can’t say anything bad about the course itself. The greens were great and the course was fun. However, it is not worth the price. Mid pines is miles better. When we booked the tee time it was $25 cheaper than what they charged us. The starter told us there were no holes with cart restrictions and that there was a water fountain every other hole. About 6 holes were cart path only(not par 3s) and there was no water. Never saw a beverage cart. Greenskeepers were not very considerate while we were hitting. Course itself is solid, but there’s way better courses and hospitality in the area for $200

Pine Needles was hands down one of the best golf experiences I’ve had all 2025. Easily one of my favorite courses I’ve ever played. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was incredible. The starter was absolutely amazing, very welcoming, knowledgeable, and set the tone for a perfect day on the course. The pro shop team was equally outstanding . Super helpful, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was taken care of. I want to specifically call out Ryan Duckworth, Senior Assistant Golf Professional. His customer service was truly top notch. He went above and beyond to help resolve an issue with a purchase I made, stayed proactive throughout the process, and made everything right quickly and professionally. His attention to detail and willingness to help left a lasting impression. The course itself is phenomenal, classic, challenging, and immaculately maintained. Pine Needles is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. I’m already planning my return and can’t wait to also get rounds in at Mid Pines and Southern Pines. Five stars across the board. Pine Needles sets the standard for what a world-class golf experience should be.

Is it pricey? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes! Unbelievable Donald Ross design, a whimsical challenge that evokes nostalgia, your first time playing it. Stunning views, friendly staff, and no issues with pace of play. 10/10 can’t wait to return.

Great overall experience. Excellent customer service oriented from drop off to exit. Golf course conditions were maturing for the season. Greens were very smooth and would have been fast on a sunny day. A number of holes were cart path only. Would have enjoyed cart -based GPS as the apps simply don’t have the detail needed to navigate this course successfully.

Recently went here for an annual golf trip and this course has always been a favorite of ours. We love their putting greens and driving range, but need to try their four hole loop the next time we're in town. Staff has always treated well, as well. Definitely a challenging course, but that's part of the fun! Thank you Pine Needles!
