Property Description

The Longleaf Community nestled off historic Midland Road in Southern Pines, North Carolina is a uniquely charming semi-private club that blends equestrian history with modern golf innovation seamlessly. Built on the scenic 457-acre site of the former Starland Farms horse training estate, the facility honors its past by incorporating original white rail fences and remnants of the old racetrack into the landscape. The 18-hole championship course, originally designed by architect Dan Maples and later refined by Bill Bergin, offers two distinct experiences: the front nine in a wide-open, Scottish links style with gently rolling fairways, and the back nine through heavily tree-lined corridors featuring significant elevation changes. Celebrated by Golf Digest as the ''most playable course in the Sandhills,'' the property acts as a living laboratory for golf, utilizing the data-driven Longleaf Tee System to mathematically tailor the course for all ages and skill levels. Besides its pristine Mini Verde Bermuda greens, the club boasts the world-class U.S. Kids Golf Academy, a rugged six-hole short course named Bottlebrush, and the lively Heartwood Restaurant, creating a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere that embodies the timeless charm of North Carolina Golf. Peacefully situated on a desirable cul-de-sac, this patio home offers inviting curb appeal, convenient single-story living and access to over 40 public local golf courses!
