course that will be added next to the Sandmines, as well. President and CEO of the Pinehurst Resort, Tom Pashley said, “Kids are telling their parents that Pinehurst is a lot of fun. We are no longer just a time capsule and museum. We are welcoming a new generation and want to continue to push golf forward. For example, Pine Needles, MidPines & Southern Pines Donald Ross designed several courses in the Pinehurst area, three of which are owned and operated by the family of Peggy Kirk Bell. Kelly Miller, son-inlaw to Warren and Peggy Kirk Bell, the original owners of Pine Needles, is the CEO and has continued to grow their Donald Ross portfolio with the purchase of Southern Pines in 2020. Pine Needles has hosted several Women’s U.S. Opens and has long been a favorite of northerners heading south as the weather turns cold. Mid-Pines is one of Donald Ross’ best efforts and there is absolutely no better course to play in late March or early April as the Dogwoods and The Cradle allows music on the course, large groups can play together and even playing barefoot is a common sight, which appeals to a younger golf crowd.” The Pinehurst Resort is truly a golf adventure and the entire area is totally focused on golf, but there are many more great courses in the tri-city area of Southern Pines, Aberdeen and Pinehurst.
