Welcome to Pinehurst, North Carolina!
|
In 1895, James Walker Tufts transformed 5,000 acres of pine barrens into what would become known as Pinehurst. He envisioned a New England village and chose Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York City's Central Park, to do the job.
Rich in history and tradition, beautiful Pinehurst was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Pinehurst offers unparalleled accommodations and a unique combination of cultural, recreational, dining and shopping experiences. Its professional services and medical facilities are among the best in the world. |

Pinehurst's championship golf courses are known worldwide. The 1999 US Open was played at Pinehurst No. 2 and returned in 2005. The US Women's Open was played at Pine Needles in 2001 and returned in 2007.
Known for golf, tennis and equestrian activities, residents and guests enjoy other sports such as cycling, swimming, croquet and lawn bowling. The Pinehurst Harness Track and surrounding horse farms provide a place for spectators to watch the horses in training or you may want to enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through the village or wooded lanes.
