From the moment one arrives, there’s a feeling you have discovered a taste of heaven. With the flawless landscape and the polite but warm welcome from the staff, Pinehurst has earned its rightful place in the world of elite Golf Resorts. We were greeted from the beginning with extraordinary service from the valets to the concierge and staff and the experience continued upward from there.
Built in 1895, Pinehurst exudes the feel of old southern charm combined with immaculate attention to detail. The many restaurants on the premises offer a wide variety of cuisine, but the one that most impressed was the delicious breakfast accompanied with the sound of live jazz and southern atmosphere of the Carolina Dining Room. The Ryder Cup Lounge served melt-in-your-mouth steaks with a sports appeal lounge. Rocking chairs sprinkled on the veranda invite relaxing conversation with friends after a great day of golf with its breathtaking views. (View course scenes and surrounding amenities in the Photo Gallery.) Though topping any “Best of Golf” list with its 8 famous Golf Courses, Pinehurst also boasts the Pinehurst Spa, complete with any amenity imaginable from warm up pools to massage and complete salons. Refined southern décor combines with modern conveniences to present a truly relaxing experience here. (See upcoming events for info on Richard Simmons visit to The Pinehurst Spa coming soon.) The Club House offers an extensive store for anything Golf, from apparel to equipment. The Village is an on grounds shopping area with a quaint old style feel offering shopping for the entire family. Another golf store is located at The Carolina, one of three locations for lodging. The rooms are bold, large and luxurious; a perfect retreat after a perfect day. With a family experience in mind, Pinehurst provides a beautiful recreational Cabana area complete with pools and play grounds where children can enjoy their own version of the perfect day. A separate children’s spa is also available inside the Pinehurst Spa. If it’s a great golf experience you’re looking for at a resort where beauty and pampering abound, go ahead…get excited about a visit to Pinehurst. You’re in for a great game of golf…and more!  |
