The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, and Aberdeen region of North Carolina is part of a premier golf legacy, claiming 20 of the state’s Top 100 courses. This destination is where storied heritage and modern energy align.
The Four Diamond Carolina Hotel, a local showpiece since 1901, has 230 guest rooms, a 9,600-square-foot grand ballroom seating 1,000 theater style, and a 14,000-square-foot reception space for 700 guests. The historic Holly Inn in Pinehurst features four indoor spaces, with a capacity of 130 people theater style in its largest space. Recently renovated, the historic 43-room Manor hotel offers a “club-style” atmosphere and event space for up to 20 people.
Pinehurst Resort’s latest and most ambitious expansion is Pinehurst Sandmines, which features Pinehurst No. 10, the resort’s first original 18-hole course in nearly 30 years. Dining amenities include Station 21, featuring a Southwestern-themed menu, PL8TE Southern Table at Pinehurst No. 8, and Wiregrass, a farm-to-table venue.
The Sandmines has also spurred the development of a “hotel hub” managed by McPeake Hotels and comprising four brands: Courtyard by Marriott, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott. The collection offers a total
of 397 guest rooms and approximately 6,500 square feet of meeting space.
Beyond the greens, groups can enjoy a variety of immersive experiences. “The USGA’s Golf House Pinehurst and the adjacent campus, including the World Golf Hall of Fame, have created one of the best ‘walk-around’ golf experiences in the country,” says Phil Werz, president and
CEO of Visit Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen CVB.
