Pinehurst Resort & Country Club
Pinehurst, North Carolina
When you mix traditional Southern hospitality with the finest
in outdoor recreation, the result is Pinehurst. With a historic hotel and
eight exquisite golf courses, Pinehurst has been a home away from home to
rich and famous visitors for the past century, ranging from John D. Rockefeller
to Bette Davis to Michael Jordan.
The main hotel, built in its first incarnation in 1896, has
undergone extensive renovations in the past three years. Despite its age,
the revamped interior maintains a historic atmosphere without looking old,
with 200 well-appointed guest rooms, conference facilities and long corridors
lined with golfing memorabilia.
The resort offers several other lodging choices, including
11 four-room villas, the 47-room Manor Inn (two blocks from the main hotel)
and 130 one-, two- and three-bedroom condominium units scattered around the
golf courses. Complimentary and efficient vans whisk guests around the resort.
The quaint shops and nightspots of Pinehurst Village are less than a five-minute
stroll from the main hotel.
Tennis, like golf, is a major draw at Pinehurst. Home
to the U.S. Tennis Association's Men's Clay Court Championship, the resort
offers 18 clay courts and six hard courts, several lighted for night play.
Expert instruction is available, and after a couple of hard-fought sets,
players will appreciate the well-stocked clubhouse.
