Pinehurst: Magnolia Inn Reopened After Renovation After a year-long renovation that completely remodeled its guest rooms and interior, The Magnolia Inn, located in the heart of the Village of Pinehurst, once again greeted guests in February. The Magnolia Inn is the second-oldest hotel in the Village, behind only The Holly Inn, which welcomed Pinehurst’s very first guests on New Year’s Eve in 1895, just one year before The Southern Pines Wins Award Golf Digest named Southern Pines Golf Club one of the Best Renovation Projects in the country. Kyle Franz did an amazing job restoring this original Donald Ross course, considered one of Ross’ finest creations. According to Golf Digest: “Franz’s work injecting greens with bold character, removing trees and painting the layout with the kind of scruffy sandscapes indigenous to the Pinehurst region (and to Pine Needles and Mid Pines where he’s previously wielded his art), have elevated this formerly modest public course to the level of its more prestigious neighbors.” To learn more watch this video from Kelly Miller, President of Southern Pines: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=JFkhoZ5ZTaA Magnolia Inn first opened its doors.
