SOUTHERN PINES, NC – DECEMBER 29, 2011 – The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is pleased to announce the first Mobile App for visitors and locals to use as an on-the-go guide for information on golf, dining, activities, accommodations and much more. Mobile apps allow a consumer to access information, web sites, maps and other details on their mobile devices. The App is aptly named, "Visit Pinehurst NC".

Soon to be launched, the upgraded destination web site, www.homeofgolf.com, will enhance consumers experiences in researching, planning, and enjoying their time at the Home of American Golf®.
