Golf Bargain: A special golf/room package at Pine Needles and Mid Pines resorts has proved so popular that it is being extended until Feb. 22.

The resorts are featuring a discounted rate of $89 at Mid Pines and $119 (per person) at Pine Needles that includes golf and an overnight stay based on double occupancy.

"This is not our busiest time of year," said vice president of marketing Bill Gilmore, "so it is an opportunity to showcase our product at a reduced rate. The package was widely accepted over the holidays and into January."

Gilmore said that the rate also applies to small groups and meetings with a 10-room minimum. "If a company is planning a business/pleasure meeting, this is an excellent time to do it here," he offered. He added that there is no minimum stay required.

Golf-only rates until mid-February are $49 at Mid Pines and $69 at Pine Needles, cart included.
