Still Chechessee, but after walking Dormie many times the last couple of weeks, it is not as bad as I have thought. The one walk that is clearly atrocious is the walk from 15 tee to the fairway.
The elevation changes at Dormie do not make the walk harder.
It hurts walking and also takes away from the way the course was intended to be played. There’s a reason the great courses have great routings. The architect didn’t just throw 18 randoms spots on the course for holes and then name the closest tee to the clubhouse #1 and the closest green #18.

philhensley@gmail.comAt Mid Pines the green to tee flow is so close you are likely going to walk more if you walk from a green to your cart, ride to the next tee, and walk to the tee.
I tried this at Southern Pines GC and they were not interested. Said their main customer was older people that cartball.
