Pinehurst Area Tees Up Plenty To Do
10 Great Things To Do
By Brad King
While most people think of Pinehurst, North Carolina, as one of America’s most iconic golf destinations, there are a multitude of other activities to see and enjoy around the Tar Heel State’s Sandhills region.
Along with golf, Pinehurst is renowned for a world-class spa, antiquing, hiking, biking, and walking, plus delectable restaurants, wine bars and breweries. The charming village of Pinehurst, along with nearby downtown Southern Pines and Aberdeen, boast vibrant shopping districts, where visitors can browse boutique stores, art galleries and antique shops.
Also recognized for horses and hounds, the Pinehurst area was the site of one of America’s first hound clubs. Equestrian events – including hunts, harness track racing and hound shows – are still held today.
Whether exploring Moore County’s 32 hiking/biking trails, delving into history, enjoying cultural gems, or savoring culinary delights, Pinehurst and its surroundings offer a well-rounded escape for everyone beyond the golf course.
Here are 10 Sandhills favorites to consider:
7. World Golf Hall of Fame
World Golf Hall of Fame – The second building on Golf House Pinehurst’s campus will house the USGA Welcome Center and World Golf Hall of Fame. Though the opening date of the WGHOF has not been announced, it could be open to visit during Open week. The headline display area will be the locker room concept relocated from the facility’s previous home in St. Augustine, Florida. Visitors will be able to access a mobile app on their phones and hear voiced footage from various inductees with stories about golfers and their personal artifacts on display. There will be approximately 4,000 pieces of memorabilia on display.
