The resort holds a significant historical footprint in American golf, consistently hosting major tournaments.

Founded in 1895 by Bostonian philanthropist James Walker Tufts, Pinehurst began as a health retreat. Tufts, owner of the American Soda Fountain Company, acquired acreage in North Carolina’s Sandhills, envisioning a serene village and resort. This insight was driven by a desire to provide a tranquil escape, evolving to champion golf as its central offering.
Pinehurst caters to discerning golf enthusiasts, leisure travelers, and those seeking a historic resort experience. The company’s long-term vision centers on upholding its status as “The Cradle of American Golf,” continually enhancing facilities while preserving its heritage. It aims to remain a definitive destination for professional and recreational golf, fostering a legacy of excellence and hospitality.
