Glow Golf @ The Cradle
Just because the sun has set and the Carolina blue skies have waned does not mean golf at Pinehurst is done for the day. Kick off Thanksgiving Weekend with one of the newest and coolest trends on the links, Glow Golf. The Cradle, our 18-hole putting course, will be lit and waiting as you take aim at glowing pin sticks utilizing the GlowV2 ball, which performs just as well as a standard golf ball.
Ages 12+
IMPORTANT: Tee Times begin at 6:10pm and the last tee time is at 9:30pm. You will select a tee time after selecting tickets. There is a maximum of 6 people per tee time. If there are not enough tickets for your party at your preferred tee time, please select a different tee time to accommodate your party.
Due to demand, please note that if your party is less than six people, you will be paired with other parties.
