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+

A treasured Southern Pines tradition for over a century, the Blessing of the Hounds will be held on Thursday, November 27th. Celebrate Thanksgiving by attending this memorable event in person, hosted by the non-profit organization Preserve the Sandhills. It’s a delightful way to kick off the holiday season. The Blessing begins promptly at 10:00 a.m., so visitors are encouraged to allow extra time—at least an hour—for parking and the walk from Lyell’s Meadow to Buchan Field.

We are back with our annual Pies & Plants Sale! Come shop with us and grab some goodies before the Thanksgiving Holiday.
