Pinehurst Resort

Pinehurst Resort is a golf resort and hotel in Pinehurst, North Carolina, with three hotels, several restaurants, and nine golf courses set in the natural landscape of the region. The property extends across wide grounds with shaded pines, maintained fairways, and paths that connect different areas of the estate.

The place began in 1895 as a health retreat for those seeking rest, before golf course designer Donald Ross completed Course Number 2 in 1901. The resort evolved from a wellness refuge into a center for golf competitions and drew players from across the country over the decades.

The New England-influenced architecture shows wide verandas, formal tea services, and winding paths that connect different shops across the village. Guests often follow these routes between buildings and discover small stores along the way.

Visitors choose between three different hotel buildings depending on preference for location and style and book tee times for one of the nine courses. The restaurants offer regional dishes from North Carolina, and guests can select between casual and upscale options.

Course Number 2 was the first US Open host with a fixed repeat schedule and has held more national championships than any other course in America. The layout uses sandy textured areas instead of traditional bunker edges, which gives the game here a different feel than elsewhere.
