Getting there
Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club lies in the storied Sandhills of North Carolina, reached most commonly via Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDH), roughly seventy miles to the northeast. The drive south unfolds through rolling piedmont before surrendering to the signature longleaf pine corridors that define this legendary golf region, with Moore County Airport serving private arrivals just minutes from the property. As the landscape softens and the pines deepen, the road delivers you to the quiet, tree-shaded entrance of Mid Pines - a timeless Donald Ross sanctuary where the journey's end feels less like arrival and more like stepping back into golf's golden age.
