9 Course Options.
Carolina Sandhills Meets Golf History.

Build a Pinehurst golf weekend at 3 budget levels:

Pinehurst is where American golf was born, and where buddies' trips hit their stride. This 3-day Pinehurst Golf Trip Blueprint delivers legendary Donald Ross designs, longleaf pines, rolling fairways, and that historic, laid-back atmosphere that makes every round feel important.

Made for the guy who has to plan for 4–12 golfers, keep everyone happy, and avoid booking the wrong course order for a golf-first weekend.

Avoid the 3 Pinehurst mistakes that ruin group trips: choosing the wrong home base (and wasting driving time), booking too much difficult golf early (and burning out by Day 3), and missing the short course/twilight magic that makes Pinehurst unforgettable.

Instant access. Plug-and-play weekend plan. Pick your budget, pick your vibe, then follow the schedule.
