If you drive, rather than fly, to the Sunshine state and are looking for places to stay and play
a few rounds before you get there, here are three that never fail to please.
There are three ways to travel south from NE Ohio or SE Michigan and we have identified
great golf resorts for each route. Which way will you go? Find out the resort that will make
the perfect pit stop on your road trip.
Places to Play If You Are
Heading to Florida
Pine Needles and Mid-Pines at Pinehurst
have been owned by the family of Hall
of Fame golfer, Peggy Kirk-Bell for many
years. The Mid-Pines Inn is a historic gem
that will take you back to a previous era.
Southern charm and gentility have not
been forgotten; you’ll find the service is
impeccable.
If you like your golf with a side order of
history, both Pine Needles and Mid-Pines
were designed by Donald Ross and are
two of his very best creations.
Whether you experience breakfast or
a delicious dinner at either the Pine
Needles Lodge or the Mid-Pines Inn, you
will not be disappointed.
Reynolds Plantation
ts one hour east of
Atlanta and is easily accessible on I-20.
The resort features six championship
golf courses designed by familiar names,
Bob Cupp, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and
Rees Jones. They offer several different
“stay & play” options, from the fabulous
Ritz Carlton to a variety of condos that
accommodate any size group.
Don’t miss Jack Nicklaus’ Great Waters
Course, it is a beauty with several holes
bordering the lake. Every course is a joy to
play and all are meticulously maintained.
The Reynolds Kingdom of Golf Presented
by Taylormade also sits on the property
and offers the finest in golf instruction,
club fitting and junior training programs.
