Pinehurst
in Pinehurst, North Carolina
A perfect golf resort to tee it up.
From the March 24, 2003 Issue of New York
 Pinehurst
is no secret: With eight eighteen-hole courses and two more on the
way, it’s the largest golf resort in the country. But this is
one case where bigger is indeed better. Pinehurst has it all: quality,
variety, and history. Pinehurst No. 2, the first course built by Donald
Ross, introduced high-quality public golf to these shores. Today it
remains by far the easiest U.S. Open site for nonprofessionals to
play. The heralded Centennial (No. 8), the just-rebuilt No. 4, and
the challenging No. 7 are all first-rate as well. Stay at the grand
Carolina Hotel or the intimate Holly Inn. — Larry Olmstead and
