The golf course at the Southern Pines, N.C., property will be restored with greens converted to Champion Bermuda. The club will also add basketball and pickleball courts, while adding new barbecue and hospitality areas around the pool.
The Arnold Palmer-designed Mid South Club in Southern Pines, N.C., is undergoing a golf course restoration and greens conversion, along with numerous other club enhancements.
The greens at Mid South Club are now being converted to Champion Bermuda. To ensure the design continuity of the putting contours, Mid South employs the “no till” method pioneered by Champion Turf Farms out of Texas.
While the Mid South greens remodeling project is being conducted, the club will also add a new set of forward tees to many holes. These new tees are expected to provide a more player-friendly approach for those just learning the game. Mid South is also busy improving the club’s cart path system, with most areas being removed and restored with a natural packed sand base. The paths will be re-concreted where necessary due to grade or traffic patterns.
Also in store for 2017 at Mid South are member facility upgrades to include the addition of basketball and pickleball on one of the tennis courts, as well as a new barbecue and hospitality area at the Mid South pool.
Matt Hausser, Talamore Resort’s General Manager, and Brian Anderson, Head Golf Professional of Mid South, are also rolling out a plethora of new Member events for 2017—both on and off the course.
“Many new events and services were added in 2016,” said Hausser. “All the events and camaraderie were well received. We want to keep the momentum going and for 2017 will be enhancing the member calendar with new themes and activities.”
