That walk up 18 on the 2 is one of the best in golf! I made birdie there from the right sand and got talked into the pose!

Again, excellent thread.

Any food and beverage places stood out that you'd recommend? I'm familiar with a few, but appreciate any first hand/current recommendations.

Cradle is overrated.

Seen online where #4's greens are terrible. Heard they are allowing people to change courses if they want to.

Not sure what happened but appears to be isolated to #4.

Have fun. There's nothing like Pinehurst.


WAY overrated
This is disappointing to hear when to this point Ive heard nothing but the complete opposite. Hopefully my experience is a positive
it's overrated for guys with no game inside 70 yards.

I'm local, PM me if you have any questions for options off property. We've been to a few on property as well.

My rankings as of now....

1- #2
2- #4 (if they had good greens)
3- Tobacco Road
4- Southern Pines
5- #10 (if a few of the greens were toned down it would be #3)
6- Pineneedles
7- #8
8- #9
9- Pinewild
10- #3 (it's a short old school course)


Rankings are up for discussion, tough to rank spots 3-5


I've only played Pineneedles and Tobacco Road on this list. They're so different it's hard to rank, but I'd go Pineneedles ahead.

You will love Mid Pines. The greens are as close to #2 as you can get.

Think the greens will be better on 4 by september? We are doing 2,4,8,10 and the cradle.

They are supposed to open back up in August

I'm guessing they will just re-sod them... no idea on quality/speed

Better than what I putted on last week at #4

The dark green spots are where there is ZERO grass

Did you drink and dine on campus? We got a meal plan so wanted to know if any were better than others

We did dinner one night at main building. It was ok

Room service burgers were more enjoyable for me

One night we had a chef come to our villa and cook there for us. It was pretty good

1895 grille is fantastic, everything else is mediocre at best

Penthouse Brewing food is good and there is a burger place in the village that's outstanding too

Just realized I never posted pics from our trip.

Played 10,8,2 and tobacco road. All very cool but tobacco road was by far the most memorable and my personal favorite. Pinehurst as a resort is absolutely incredible. We loved the cradle as well

As another stated 1895 Grille was our favorite. I also thought the BBQ at Pinehurst Brewing was pretty good for North Carolina. Carolina Room dinner was ok, but the vibe is more formal. Plus, you eat breakfast there every morning. I had some tacos at The Duece after our round on 2 and they were fine.

If I were going with just guys I would book all my meal plan reservations at 1895 and Pinehurst Brewing. We did not eat at The Tavern or Vilaggio Ristorante. PL8TE was not open when we went.

Good course. I love all who have posted on this and have been. Play Traditions or Aggie altogether. It'd be a blast and get some good Beer, BBQ, and Burgers afterwards

To each his own I reckon, but this is crazy talk....Unless you don't drink, smoke cigars, or play golf barefooted with 3 clubs and a putter....

Wife has some friends coming into town next weekend and told me I should make myself scarce. So I decided a little impromptu drive down to Pinehurst area was in order. Its only a 5 hour drive from Maryland so not too bad.

Called this morning and able to get on for 36 at Southern Pines and Mid Pines on Saturday and then going to play Tobacco Sunday morning before driving back.

Not sure if I'll get on the road early enough for any Friday afternoon action, but TBD. Either way I'm excited since its been a brutal winter here.
