Kellyann Miller grew up with Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club quite literally in her backyard. As part of the family behind Pine Needles, Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club, and Southern Pines Golf Club, golf has always been close to her heart. But before returning home, she built her career in the big cities — working with major brands in New York, Austin, and San Diego.
Now back in Southern Pines as Special Projects and Brand Director for her father Kelly Miller’s trio of courses, Kellyann is combining her family legacy with her own professional experience.
In this episode of Paradise in the Pines, she shares what it’s like to return home, the exciting projects on the horizon, and even hints at the possibility of another U.S. Women’s Open with the USGA.
