Pinehurst, Golf resort village in Moore County, North Carolina
Pinehurst stretches across the sandy terrain with nine golf courses, numerous walking paths, and historic buildings centered around a New England-style village layout.
James Walker Tufts founded Pinehurst in 1895 by acquiring 6,000 acres of land to establish a health retreat for people with modest financial means.
Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, created the village plan with curved streets, green spaces, and interconnected pathways that define the community structure.
The Tufts Archives, located in The Given Library, opens Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM and displays historical artifacts from the village founders.
The United States Golf Association designated Pinehurst as the first anchor site for future U.S. Open championships, securing tournaments through 2047.
