Sandhills Pour Tour - Home of Golf

The Sandhills Pour Tour

The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area is known for golf, but it is also home to four local breweries, the state’s longest-operating bottle shop and a sweet little cider house. But, there are plenty of pubs, restaurants, and fun things to do and explore when you are in town. The Sandhills Pour Tour Passport is designed to guide you around Moore County where you can enjoy a beverage and our cool, Southern vibe. So, whether you play golf, or not, anyone can tee up a good time with some friends, a passport and a few rounds at our favorite 19th holes.
