- Smart course design, impeccable conditioning and a welcoming atmosphere: These are the key components that we look for in a Golf for Women Top 50 Course. But to reach the pinnacle, a course has to have that extra quality that makes it a transcendent golf experience. After playing the recently renovated Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C., GFW course rater Mary Novitsky described the layout as "the essence of golf for players of all abilities. It's full of tradition, yet it has a very progressive design. The course is a great equalizer that puts a premium on skill but doesn't punish short hitters." That, in a nutshell, is why Pine Needles is our new No. 1.
