Play where every shot is beautiful! North Carolina boasts more than 400 public, semi-private and resort golf courses sprinkled from the highest mountains east of the Mississippi to 320 miles of coastline
Forget the heat of summer amid cool breezes or relish the tints of autumn when you tee it up in the verdant mountains of North Carolina. Whether it’s a green guarded by boulders or a trout stream tumbling beside the fairway, mountain golf is at its peak here in the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky mountains, where fairways are lush and greens are slick as river rocks. Linville Golf Club, The Omni Grove Park Inn, and Rumbling Bald Resort are just a few of the gems in this area
In the heart of the North Carolina Sandhills, you’ll find Pinehurst, known as the home of golf in America. It’s where you’ll find the fabled Pinehurst No. 2, one of 50+ courses Donald Ross designed in North Carolina. Since 1907, No.2 has been the site of most every major golf championship including the U.S. open and Women’s Open Championships back to back in 2014. With nine golf courses, Pinehurst is widely known for golf, but the Pinehurst Resort was originally founded in 1895 as a health resort. The property features three historic hotels, a Forbes Four-Star Spa, tennis, lawn sports, shopping, biking, fine dining and of course, plenty of rocking chairs where you can simply sit back and relax.
Beach and Golf season don’t end on Labor Day in N.C.’s Brunswick Islands – just look at its warm temperatures, spacious coastline, and next-level sunrises and sunsets. This area is known as the “Golf Coast” as more than 30 championship golf courses can be found here. And each of the 567 holes along the 120 miles of Southern coastal fairways beckons you regardless of skill. Perfect your swing among quintessential live oaks draped in Spanish moss, and breathe in the lush forest air while enjoying this year-round experience unique to North Carolina coastal life.
