The present routing is an 18-hole course measuring about 6,695 yards, with the club's modern presentation shaped by a major Kyle Franz restoration completed in 2021. That project included tree removal, bunker reconstruction, irrigation work, wider fairways and restoration of strategic playing angles around the greens.

Golf on the present Southern Pines site dates to 1906. N. Peacock and James McNab, assistants working in the Donald Ross orbit at Pinehurst, with the earliest layout work.
Ross subsequently became the architect most closely associated with the course and its mature design.
The course uses the sandy, rolling Sandhills terrain rather than imposing a heavily manufactured routing. Its architectural identity is based on width, angles into greens and putting surfaces that reward approaches from preferred sides of the fairway.
Kyle Franz led an 18-month restoration culminating in the course's 2021 reopening. Work included substantial tree removal, reconstruction of bunkers, irrigation improvements, widening fairways and removing maintained rough around greens. The project was intended to recover strategic features and expose more of the underlying Sandhills landscape.
Southern Pines operates alongside Pine Needles and Mid Pines under the Ross Resorts umbrella. Its historic routing remains the central attraction, supplemented by Franz's Lost Hole and the Overhills 18-hole putting course.
