LiNC, or the Little Nine Conservancy, began an effort to protect 100 acres of woods and open land about ½ mile south of downtown Southern Pines earlier this year. The Little Nine name comes from the 112 year-old old golf course built in 1906, which comprises about 45 of the 100 acres. Current neighbors, former neighbors, and folks who recognize the incalculable value of this open space, created LiNC to help protect this local treasure.
Although no longer used as a golf course, the land contributes greatly to the local quality of life. Many households use the land for family hikes and evening strolls. Owing to occasional winter snows, part of the old course has grown famous for the steep hill in front of the fifth tee among those who like sledding. Children's soccer teams practice on the old driving range. And for the last 10-15 years junior and senior high school cross country teams have held cross country races on the old golf course.
