Would you all recommend Mid Pines or Pine Needles?

We currently have the following on the agenda:
Day 1 - Tobacco Road early, Mid Pine or Pine Needles afternoons
Day 2 - PH 8 in the am, PH 9 in the afternoon
Day 3 - cradle in the am, PH 2 in afternoon (kinda disappointed - wanted Cradle in the afternoon so we could get a little liquored up. Going to keep calling and seeing if times open that would work)
Day 4 - PH 4 am, fly out evening.

Anything you all would recommend switching up?

You have chosen well, my friend. What an awesome mix of course designs and personalities. The very best of the area and they all have their own vibe. Honestly, it’s the exact courses I would recommend.

Tough choice between Mid Pines and Pine Needle. I think I’d choose Pine Needles. It’s a classic. It’ll be quite a contrast from your morning at Tobacco Road.

Keep trying to play the cradle in the afternoon. Btw, I see folks playing there barefooted with a drink in hand often. As an aside, I played behind the guys from Barstool sports the last time I was there. Great addition to the Pinehurst offerings.

Let me know if you have specific questions about restaurants etc. I know you’re making quite a financial investment and would love to know your impressions of the trip.

Hit em straight!

Your interary is pretty good. Only suggestion I would make is to drop No. 9 and play Mid Pines instead. Not sure how that works for the package you have booked though.

No. 9 looks like a course you could find anywhere in the south. Mid Pines is special.

Also, depending on daylight, if any of those days are during the week, you'll easily be able to get out on the Cradle without a tee time after your second round. It was wide open the Wednesday and Thursday evening we were there. Friday and Saturday is a different story though.
