The Home of American Golf! The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area has North Carolina’s best golf courses, world-class dining and shopping, adventures, and more.
Even if you’ve made a recent visit to the Sandhills region of North Carolina — the “Home of American Golf,” Pinehurst, along with the bourgeoning Southern Pines and Aberdeen areas — you will quickly discover that Pinehurst ‘24 is a decidedly different destination.
- No. 1 in North Carolina: Pinehurst No. 2. This is the grandaddy of Pinehurst, the layout even non-golfing spouses are most likely to have heard of. It’s the site of three past U.S. Opens with five more on the schedule, including in 2024.
- No. 2 in North Carolina: Pinehurst No. 4. While No. 2 was restored to its Ross roots a decade ago, architects Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner more recently went another direction with No. 4, but with a similar aesthetic in mind.
- No. 3 in North Carolina: Mid Pines. As courses age, they usually need more than a nip and tuck to retain the playing characteristics established by the original designer.
- No. 4 in North Carolina: Pine Needles. Across the street from Mid Pines is its sister course, Pine Needles. As with Mid Pines, Pine Needles is a Ross layout that was restored by Kyle Franz, with work wrapping up in 2018.

Pine Needles was designed in 1927 by Donald Ross and is truly a top-notch course — it’s ranked #2 in the area and has hosted the U.S. Women’s Open three times. Being a Ross course, the greens are challenging with false fronts, crowns, and undulations. Play to the middle is the advice here. Mid Pines is a beautiful Donald Ross design from 1921, and ...
Talamore is golf at its best. The Talamore Golf Club was designed by Rees Jones in 1991, and it’s been both restored and updated since. The greens have been returned to their original design, and Champion Bermuda grass has replaced the bent. Many bunkers have been removed, and the widened, undulating fairways result in quicker playing times. As you...
Tobacco Road is a Mike Strantz design ranked #50 in the world by Golf Course Architect. Built on a former sand quarry, it’s one of the most visually daunting courses you’ll come across. Vast waste areas, big mounds covered in native wiregrass, blind shots, and hidden pin placements make this one of the wildest anywhere. If you want to experience so...
Pinewild Country Club features 48 holes of golf, and that’s not a typo — there’s two championship courses, a great nine-hole par-3 layout, and three practice holes (part of their excellent practice facility). Both courses here have hosted numerous USGA qualifying and Carolina PGA events. The Magnolia Course is the original, opened in 1989 as one of...
If you love golf, good food, and good beer, 7 Lakes is the best deal in the Pinehurst area. Every round comes with a complimentary lunch and two of whatever’s on draft. With ultra-reasonable green fees, it’d be natural to assume the course would be lower-tier, but 7 Lakes receives a four-star rating from Golf Digest. Gene Hamm’s Beacon Ridge is als...
Whispering Pines and Foxfire Country Clubs are a two-club concept, with membership covering all 72 holes. Just a few minutes from the village of Pinehurst, both are owned by the same company, giving resort guests privilege at all four courses. Here’s the scoop: 1. The Pines Course(at Whispering Pines) is long and open, with large Champion Bermuda g...
Bobby Jones summed it up best: “Pinehurst is the St. Andrews of American golf.” There are nine great 18-hole courses and one 9-hole course at the Pinehurst Resort, but three you might want to keep an eye out for are The Cradle, No. 8, and No. 2. The Cradle is nine holes aimed at those new to the game — truly everyone can play here — while No. 8 is ...

Pinehurst is known as the Cradle of American Golf, and it is home to one of the earliest practice facilities as well. The 14 acres…. It was golf theatre unlike anything the grand old course had ever seen, the roars funneling through the pine trees and engulfing the memory of polite….
