Your Buddy Trip Itinerary

FIRST:

Arrive and stop by the front desk to pick up your resort ID and Bag Tags, drop of your luggage then grab the shuttle over to the clubhouse.

NEXT:

Take on one of Pinehurst’s championship courses, No. 4 or No. 8.

Gil Hanse’s No. 4 has garnered accolades since its stunning redesign. You’ll want to stop by The Nest, the turn house on Course No.4. Try the signature drink the Woodpecker and don’t forget to grab a handful of the tees! Pro Tip: With tee times in high demand, stay and play Sunday – Wednesday for greater availability.

Take a spin on Thistle Dhu, Pinehurst’s 18-hole putting course that meanders over 75,000 square feet – and around the famed Putter Boy statue. Feeling a little competitive? Grab a Thistle Dhu scorecard and let the games begin! Pro Tip: The Putterboy statue is a great spot for a group selfie.

THEN:

Grab dinner at the Carolina Vista Lounge in the Carolina Hotel for delicious cocktails and a contemporary menu unlike any other at Pinehurst. Find a cozy rocking chair on the front porch or mosey on down to the fire pits to enjoy a drink under the Carolina blue skies recapping day 1.

FIRST:

Play Pinehurst’s newest course, No. 10, winding its way through the Sandhills on a path toward delivering a golf experience like no other. Pro Tip: As a walking-only course, we recommend booking a caddy in advance.

Don’t forget to grab lunch at the Maniac Grille, our food truck serving crazy good food. We recommend the Chopped Chicken Loaded Sweet Potato Tots.

NEXT:

Have a go at The Cradle short course, called “The most fun 10 acres in golf”.

You only need a couple of wedges and a putter to play Gil Hanse’s signature short course. Kick off your shoes, take in the music and enjoy. Stop by the Cradle Crossing for a Cradle Transfusion.

Pro Tip: Book a Golfer’s Massage at the Spa at Pinehurst for the ultimate recovery between rounds.

THEN:

Visit Pinehurst Brewing Co. for smoked BBQ + beer on tap.

Housed in the Village’s historic steam plant building is Pinehurst’s brewery, which features craft beer brewed on-site along with classic North Carolina barbecue and brisket, pizza and more.

Have a night cap at the North & South Bar at the Manor, just a few steps away from the brewery.

The North & South bar at The Manor features nearly 70 styles of bourbons, whiskeys, ryes and Scotch. Traditional Manhattans and sours are on the menu, but so are new-age stylings on the classics. There’s literally nothing like it anywhere near Pinehurst.

FIRST:

There are 180 holes you can play at Pinehurst. The only question is, which 18 will it be? Explore our courses and finish with a memorable round on legendary greens. Pro-Tip: Before you head out, be sure to enjoy the overflowing breakfast buffet that’s been called “The Best Breakfast in Golf!”

No. 2 is the home of the 2024 U.S. Open, and a timeless classic where the game’s greats have played.

NEXT:

Enjoy a drink at The Deuce – the best “19th hole” in golf.

Overlooking the 18th green of Pinehurst No. 2, The Deuce’s open-air windows allow the soundtrack of groups finishing their rounds to complement the local beers, cocktails and delicious pub fare.

Go back to where it all began: Course No. 1. With an authentic Donald Ross design and ample birdie opportunities, challenge your buddies to a scramble for a great afternoon.

THEN:

Snap a photo with a champion.

A few yards from where he became the 1999 U.S. Open Champion, Payne Stewart’s statue serves as a tribute to his spirit. A trip to Pinehurst isn’t complete without an attempt to recreate his epic fist-pump stance.

Finish your evening with dinner at the Carolina Dining Room to celebrate your championship round. With one of our most timeless dining rooms, an amazing menu features the chef’s signature dry-rub seasoning on select aged beef, then expands out from there to include seasonal items that truly allow farm-fresh ingredients to shine.

FIRST:

Enjoy your final taste of the breakfast buffet before packing up and checking out.

NEXT:

Complete your weekend with a final round on one of 10 world-class courses.

Course No. 8, our centennial course, coalescing all of the elements that make golf at Pinehurst unmistakable into one 18-hole layout, Fazio fashioned a course that’s at once stunning and simple, and equal parts challenge and celebration. Pro-tip: Use the locker rooms for a quick shower to prepare for your departure.

THEN:

The Centennial Dining Room is the perfect place to grab lunch. Eat on the veranda to enjoy a peaceful view as you bid Pinehurst farewell… until next time!
