ARNOLD PALMER WOULD BE SO PROUD. Yes the Mid South Club (that was formerly known as Pinehurst Plantation) is part of something new and the new plan would have the King’s approval with a big thumbs up.
The Mid South Club is part of an over 500 acre gated community, that offers members a full list of amenities.
The heart of it all is an 18 hole Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course that has drawn great reviews, and has earned numerous awards from several national golf publications over the years. The USGA has held U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Amateur qualifiers on the course.
The Par 4, 5th hole at the Mid South Club
But what the Mid South course brings to the table, is just solid Carolina style golf, with some holes that roll through the hills and the tall pines. The course has some long waste area bunkers, that come complete with the Carolina “love grass” plants that you don’t love if your in them.
The greens have just been redone, and the new Bermuda strain handles the heat, much better than the bent grass greens did. The new surfaces have settled in and your putted ball gets a nice true roll across the green on the way to the cup.
The Par 3, 6th hole, at the Mid South Club has a water carry.
While there are homes around the course, they do sit back far enough from the golf course that they don’t come into play. Which is always a relief to golfers, and just like at Mid South’s sister course, Talamore, if your ball does land in or roll into a back yard of the neighboring homes, you do receive a “free drop” with no penalty.
The Kings Course has five set’s of tee’s with the yardage ranging from 4,773 up front, to 7,003 from the tips at the gold tee’s.
The Mid South clubhouse, is now home to the King’s Grill.
The “King’s Grill” is a new feature in the clubhouse, as a new bar that overlooks the scenic 9th and 18th holes of the golf course, and the practice area’s.
The spacious and comfortable area, is complete with a full bar, comfortable seating, several big screen televisions that make the grill a great place to relax enjoy conversation or watch the big game of your choice.
Staying at Mid South is made easy with several lodge buildings located around the front circle that includes the clubhouse. The lodges have four rooms per building, and are complete with multiple spacious bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and dinning rooms. Need more, how about full fireplaces and balconies with views of the golf course. You can’t beat a one minute walk to the clubhouse when you leave your lodge room to go play, or when you return from your practice session or round of golf.
New home building is still part of the club if your looking for a permanent home within the Mid South Club, with prices better than you might think.
