PINEHURST AREA GOLFERS GUIDE
Nestled in the Sandhills of central North Carolina lies a roughly triangular area encompassing the villages of Southern Pines, Aberdeen, and the quaint little walking village of Pinehurst which was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted who also created New York’s Central Park — and Pinehurst Resort. The center of Pinehurst-area golf is, and always has been, the Resort’s world-renowned #2 course. Today the area is home to 43 excellent courses — and counting. It is known as the “Home of American Golf™”.
Steeped in tradition, exuding refinement and genuine southern hospitality, and with golf weather year round, the Sandhills area is truly a golf Mecca. In addition to Pinehurst Resort’s #2, several others are among the nation’s elite. The list of leading course designers includes Palmer, Maples, Nicklaus, Player, Jones, Fazio — but the name “Donald Ross” dominates.
The legendary Scottish course designer came to Pinehurst in 1900 to redesign the new Resort’s #1, stayed for 48 years, and created the Resort’s #’s 2, 3 and 4 (significantly updated in 2000 by Tom Fazio and reopened as a new course), as well as the courses at Pine Needles and Mid Pines. In all, Ross designed or redesigned more than 400 others in North America but considered #2 his home course, calling it “the fairest test of championship golf I have ever designed”.

Pinehurst Area Golf History
Pinehurst and professional golf have long been synonymous. In 1940 Ben Hogan won his first pro tournament at Pinehurst. Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Cary Middlecoff won tournaments here. A young Arnold Palmer was a regular at Pinehurst during college days at Wake Forest. And who could forget the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst #2, where an exuberant Payne Stewart, clad in signature traditional knickers and tam-o-shanter cap, won his second Open just months before an untimely death.
A trip to the Pinehurst area will reward golfers not only with first-rate golf, but experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
