Knollwood Fairways & Driving Range

Knollwood Fairways is a nine-hole layout in Southern Pines, designed by C. A. Pitts and situated within the sandhills region that has long been central to North Carolina golf. The course operates as part of Knollwood Fairways & Driving Range, serving both local players and visitors exploring the area's concentration of golf facilities. Southern Pines and the surrounding Pinehurst area are known for sandy, well-draining soils and corridors of longleaf pine, characteristics that typically shape the playing conditions and visual character of courses in this part of Moore County. The nine-hole format makes Knollwood accessible for quick rounds and practice play, fitting a niche alongside the region's more prominent championship layouts. Courses designed in this area generally take advantage of natural elevation changes within the sandhills terrain, and the sandy subsoil allows for firm turf conditions much of the year. The presence of a driving range alongside the course suggests a facility oriented toward both recreational play and skill development. Southern Pines has been a golf destination since the early twentieth century, benefiting from its proximity to Pinehurst and the mild climate that permits year-round play. Knollwood Fairways contributes to the area's range of options for golfers seeking varied experiences beyond the resort courses, offering a straightforward setting for those interested in the region's golfing landscape without the formality or expense of larger clubs.
