Pinehurst Golf Vacations

Pinehurst is a village in North Carolina, but has eight world class golf courses built around it. It is no surprise, then, that Pinehurst the village is also Pinehurst the golf resort!

Golf Started in Scotland and Continues in Pinehurst

The Sandhills of North Carolina have a deep Scottish heritage which is exemplified by their golf courses. Pinehurst golf courses #1 to #4 were designed by Scotsman Donald Ross, and the Scots feel an affinity to this part of North Carolina. So how’s this for a vacation option: a house share between Americans in Pinehurst and Scots in St. Andrews, or even Ayrshire, which has the Open courses of Muirfield and Troon, and also Prestwick where the first ever British Open was played, and Rabbie Burns!

Pinehurst golf vacations should be attractive to Scots, but also to Americans looking for great golf and a bit of history. And what history! Ben Hogan won his first pro tournament here, and Pinehurst “Old Town” takes you back to the late 19th century. The people are charming and friendly and the food is to die for.

Combine Your Japanese With Your History

How about a bit of Japanese? Or would you prefer Mexican, or perhaps a real Italian pizza or pasta with that ‘el dente’ just perfect to the bite? Don’t forget the more traditional American food, of course, or you are bound to find a Burn’s supper somewhere on January 25th. History, food, golf. What more could you ask for in a lovely relaxing vacation. If you like the bright lights, Myrtle Beach is not far away with its night life and entertainment.

The Sandhills area has over 40 golf courses, so you won’t be short for variety. Many golf courses are specifically suited to women, so take on your men on level terms girls! Their length won’t help them as much as your female guile will help you.

A Half-Pipe as a Fairway?

Or how about the Legacy Golf Links which, either by design or a quirk of nature, has fairways which slope in from both sides, thus directing balls to the middle. You have to be really bad to end up the rough on this golf course.

Pinehurst golf vacations offer all this plus more to beginners, professionals, plain amateurs like most of us, or our women who are looking for a course that equalizes their lack of strength with their superior brains. They will find it all at Pinehurst.
