About Par & Pine Resort
Eighteen holes, one family and no rush.
Par & Pine is a 28-room golf resort in the pine highlands, run by the family that built it. We keep the tee sheet gentle, the lunches long and the evenings unhurried.

Our story
Two sisters, one fairway and a very long lunch
Par & Pine began in 2011, when sisters Eleni and Maria Katsaros turned a neglected nine-hole pitch-and-putt in the pine highlands into a small course with six guest rooms. The first guests came for the golf. They stayed for the lunches that ran well past the turn, and they kept coming back.
Today the course is a full eighteen, the house has twenty-eight rooms and the clubhouse terrace still serves the same long, slow lunch. We are family-run, a little stubborn about pace of play and convinced that a good round should always end at a good table.

The Pine Course, scored
Fifteen years in, our numbers are modest on purpose. We would rather keep the course quiet than fill every tee time.

Course etiquette
Three rules we play by
Every course has its etiquette. These are the ones we hold ourselves to, on the fairway and off it.
01
HOLE 01
Play it as it lies
No rushed rounds and no packed tee sheets. We cap every tee time so the course stays quiet, and breakfast runs until noon for anyone who wants one more coffee before the first hole.
PACE OF PLAY
02
HOLE 02
Leave the pines better
We walk lightly: native roughs left wild, rainwater for the greens and a kitchen that cooks with produce from the farms down the road.
CARE OF THE COURSE

HOLE 03
Everyone gets a good lie
First-timers and scratch players get the same welcome. Our coaches, caddies and hosts remember names, handicaps and which side of the table you like.
