Luxury Golf Properties of Marine & Lawn Hotels and Resorts Now Extend Further
Marine & Lawn Hotels and Resorts Expands into the United States and United Kingdom
Marine & Lawn Hotels and Resorts, a luxury golf hospitality brand based in the UK, is growing its global presence with acquisitions and renovations in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Recently, the brand, owned by AJ Capital Partners, acquired two historic golf hotels in Southern Pines, North Carolina — the Mid Pines Inn and Pine Needles Lodge. These 1920s-era properties, situated along Donald Ross designed courses steeped in history, are currently undergoing renovations to refresh rooms, dining, bars, event spaces, and public areas. The aim is to blend historic charm with Marine & Lawn’s refined design style, creating unique properties tailored to golf travelers. The US properties are scheduled to reopen in 2026 [1][4].
In Scotland, Marine & Lawn has expanded its reach by acquiring the iconic Greywalls Hotel, a family-owned estate adjacent to Muirfield golf course. Known for its Edwardian architecture designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the Greywalls Hotel has served as a retreat for royals, golf enthusiasts, and world travelers. Plans for Greywalls include a thoughtful restoration of interiors, food and beverage programs, and guest experience enhancements, all aligned with Marine & Lawn’s signature approach [1][2][3][5].
With the additions of Mid Pines, Pine Needles, and Greywalls, Marine & Lawn’s portfolio has grown to eight luxury golf-focused hotels across the UK and US. Guests at both Mid Pines Inn and Pine Needles Lodge will receive priority access and curated golf packages in one of the premier golf locations in the country. Similarly, guests of Greywalls Hotel will have access to Muirfield, a sixteen-time host of the Open Championship and currently ranked in the top 10 courses in the world by Golf Digest, through a relationship with the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers [1][4][5].
The expansion reflects AJ Capital’s ambition to honor premier golf destinations with world-class hospitality, creating unique properties that offer a sophisticated blend of historic legacy and modern luxury. Upcoming renovations at the US properties emphasize natural and classic design elements inspired by the local environment and golf heritage. Marine & Lawn continues to enhance each hotel with distinctive amenities such as snooker tables and outdoor putting greens to complement the famed courses they serve [1][4][5].
The acquisition of the Greywalls Hotel marks Marine & Lawn's presence in Scotland's "Golf Coast," and with the addition of Greywalls, Mid Pines Inn, and Pine Needles Lodge, Marine & Lawn now has nine properties worldwide in its portfolio [1][2][3][5].
