Pinehurst, Golf resort village in Moore County, North Carolina
Pinehurst is a village in Moore County, North Carolina, spread across rolling sandy terrain covered with pine forests. The layout includes nine golf courses, a historic village center modeled after New England towns, and numerous footpaths connecting different areas.
James Walker Tufts purchased about 6000 acres starting in 1895 to create an affordable health retreat for people seeking rest and mild climate. The first hotel opened in January 1895 and welcomed guests looking for forest air and gentle surroundings.
The village follows a layout with curved roads and parks created by Frederick Law Olmsted, known for his work on major city parks. This plan links residential areas to golf courses through winding paths that shape daily life for residents.
The Tufts Archives in The Given Library open Monday to Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM and show documents and objects related to the founding of the village. Visitors can move between golf courses and the center using a network of paved paths and nature trails that run throughout the area.
The United States Golf Association chose this location as the first permanent anchor site for future national championships, securing tournaments through 2047. This decision gives the village a lasting role in American golf tradition.
