Learning Golf at Longleaf
Home of the U.S. Kids Golf Academy, the benchmark for junior golf development worldwide, and a leader for bringing new players into the game. Practice facilities include an expansive driving range with the Longleaf Tee Assessment area. A 10,000 square foot, fully lit putting green and putting course, and multiple green short game facilities.
18-Hole Championship Golf
Built on property that was once a famed horse farm, the golf course at Longleaf Golf & Family Club has raced to the top of the “Must Play” lists in the Sandhills region. Our Dan Maples-designed layout is a mix of risk-reward holes that have proven worthy to some of North Carolina’s biggest events. A 2015 renovation by Bill Bergin has led to Longleaf’s annual inclusion in many “Best Conditioned” and “Top Courses You Can Play” lists. Tee times can be reserved through the U.S. Kids Golf Academy's lead coaches.
A Short Course that's Tough to Beat
Bottlebrush, a six-hole Bill Bergin-designed layout, features holes ranging from 50 to 100 yards and a most enjoyable 450-yard walk. The course is ideal for beginners to play and enjoy, but also provides a fun challenge for the most skilled players, making it an excellent way for families to enjoy golf together.
Heartwood Eatery

Swimming Pool
