◆ Pinehurst, North Carolina ◆
Discover Your Dream Home in the Sandhills
Discover the charm of Pinehurst Village, where world-class golf, historic elegance, and premier real estate converge in the heart of North Carolina's Sandhills.
A Village Steeped in History
Founded in 1895 by Boston soda-fountain magnate James Walker Tufts, the Village of Pinehurst was master-planned by legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted as a health retreat amid towering longleaf pines and mild Southern breezes. What began as a winter escape for wealthy Northerners evolved into America's most celebrated golf destination. Today, Pinehurst is home to the Pinehurst Resort with its ten championship courses — including the storied No. 2 designed by Donald Ross — the newly relocated World Golf Hall of Fame, and a charming New England-style village center with boutique shops, fine dining, and tree-lined streets. The U.S. Golf Association has designated Pinehurst as its anchor site for future championships, cementing its legacy as the undisputed Home of American Golf.
