Reserve Your Family's Most Memorable Thanksgiving Ever and Make Your Reservations for this Year's Turkey Tradition at
Pine Needles & Mid Pines
Each November when both Donald Ross-designed golf courses are in their peak condition, families return to Pines Needles & Mid Pines for the annual Turkey Tradition to enjoy cocktail parties, incredible dining, elaborate breakfast buffets, tournament play, parties, our famous Thanksgiving Dinner at Pine Needles and lots of fellowship.
Delight in the company of friends at one of golf's premier destinations and quite possible the best greens in all of North Carolina. Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club is a site of Three U.S. Women's Open Championships, the Golf Digest 2008 #56 Best Public Golf Course and the NC Golf Panel's "#4 Best Course in NC and #2 Best Courses You Can Play in NC." Equally well conditioned and also a Donald Ross design, Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club is the "#32 Best Course in NC and #7 Best Courses You Can Play in NC," according to the NC Golf Panel.
Check out the schedule below, as you can see... we've put together a Thanksgiving holiday for the ages.
