It's no wonder that Golf Digest selected the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area of North Carolina as one of the top three golfing destinations in the world! This is a place where legends come to design courses that will crown their careers. Donald Ross, Ellis Maples, Rees Jones, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus have all worked their magic here, creating some of the most outstanding golf courses in the country. It’s a locale steeped in the history of the sport — the place where the first driving range opened for business. Even mini golf got its start here. No wonder golf aficionados consider the area The Home of American Golf®.

And, keeping with tradition, the 2014 U.S. Open Championship will be held at Pinehurst Resort on Pinehurst No. 2 for the third time. Now is a great time to visit and enjoy NC golf.
