Pinehurst Golf Academy

Through it all, the Pinehurst Golf Academy staff of Eric Alpenfels, Paul McRae, Kelly Mitchum and Geoff Lynch have been Pinehurst’s Mount Rushmore—four instructors averaging 25 years on staff and giving the Academy the consistency and ballast to grow and thrive in a golf economy that’s weathered three recessions since 1990 and seen the gradual slide of the golf school business since the 2008-09 financial crisis.

Properly fit and finished clubs are critical to consistent and competitive play, and the golf professionals at Pinehurst are ready to tailor some of the finest clubs in the game to you.

Fittings are available by appointment only, and during yours our pros will pair Trackman data and component knowledge with top-notch equipment from companies like Titleist, Callaway, Cobra, PING, Taylormade, Srixon, Cleveland and XXio to deliver you the gear you need to tackle any track.
