Pinehurst Resort

Buddies golf trip. Used condos for accommodations. A little dated but they were fine. Clean and comfortable. Service outstanding. Every person, excluding one hostess, went over and above. One host even unlocked a closed shop to get me a book of matches. Outstanding job young man. Golf was GREAT. Played # 1,2,3,4,8 and you must play the Cradle. Lots of fun. Shout out to my caddies who kept me positive throughout my game.

Amazing place. Friendly staff. Great golf courses. The caddies were excellent. Food was always great. Very relaxing. Even with everything going on and all the people, it was very relaxed and fun. Highly recommended. #10 is a great addition and fun course.

Look no further for a 5 star golf experience. Not only do the have world class golf courses, they have exceptional dining and they take customer service to another level. Great location, stellar team!

Top shelf golf courses in great condition, and great staff and accommodations. Donald Ross is smiling at the great people and leadership of the whole resort to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

If you are looking for a "pure" golfing experience then Pinehurst should be on your list. Great golf courses with great facilities and staff. I played 2, 4, 8, 10 and the Cradle. All super conditioned courses with all kinds of challenge. Hope to be back someday.

The Pinehurst Resort Carolina Hotel is a "Must Do". Great facility and lots of history. Restaurant and bars onsite were exceptional. And, of course Pinehurst #2 is one of the most memorable rounds of gold you can have.

Seven of us spent four nights at Pinehurst, staying at the Carolina Hotel and playing #7, #8, #9 (rained out after 5 holes), #2, #4, and #10. The golf courses were in fantastic shape, especially considering Hurricane Helene came through the morning of our afternoon round at #2. Even though it's just opened, #10 is going to be a special golf course. And, unlike some/most of the other courses, it's actually easy to get a refreshment on the course. This was really the only disappointing part of the golf part of the trip -- we went hours without seeing a beverage cart, a water cooler, or a refreshment station on some of the courses. Considering the price and the reputation, they really need to do better. I can't say enough good things about the food program at Pinehurst. It's fantastic. I honestly wasn't paying much attention to the prices, but I know every dish I had at any of the dinners was excellent. The staff was generally great also. They try to anticipate what you want or need. They get you shuttled to and from places. Your clubs show up at the right place, on time. It's a pretty well-oiled machine. THAT SAID.... Our group likes to ship clubs to resorts using Shipsticks. We all pay for FedEx boxes, even if we put a travel bag inside the box. The idea of just having an open suitcase on a FedEx truck/plane/whatever never sits well with any of us. As expected, our clubs (in boxes) were ready for us when we arrived and the front staff was helpful getting us checked in. On Sunday when we left, we played #10 and returned to the Carolina Hotel. We all put our clubs into travel bags, gave the guys our bags and paperwork, and VERY SPECIFICALLY asked them to put the bags inside FedEx boxes. We were assured that this would happen. Fast forward to Tuesday of the next week, when I returned home to see my travel bag, without a box, sitting on my front porch. The pockets were open, a few items inside were broken (and I'm going to, I guess, take that up with Shipsticks). It's awful that the people up front told me specifically that they'd put it in a box, knowing full well they had absolutely zero intention of doing so. I would have taken my clubs on the plane if I wanted them to come without a box. The gentlemen who took our clubs obviously didn't care a single bit. His simple act of indifference and laziness soured me completely on what had been a great golf experience. I'm having to go through my bag and remember (or guess) what I'd put in there. There were broken things. This was completely avoidable, and completely the fault of the resort. The service otherwise was fantastic -- as it should be if you pay $7,000 for five days at a resort -- but man...I'm so disappointed in the "last mile" of this trip. Such an unforced error by the Pinehurst team.

Absolutely the best 3 night visit we've had in a while. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Wonderful hotel ... beautiful old style with the updated style. We loved the "creaking" of the floors in certain areas of the hotel/rooms. Walking into the front door felt like home. I can't wait to be able to visit again.

Yes, we chose Pinehurst as our destination for our crony golf trip this year and we were all extremely pleased with our choice once we arrived. The reason we chose Pinehurst was for its status as a hub for competitive golf at all levels. We lodged at the Carolina Hotel which dates to 1901. Most of the Hotel has been updated and there was still active construction when we arrived. The lobby and public areas were also getting a facelift to be completed prior to the 2024 US Open. Regardless, our room and the hotel accommodations were fabulous. We were set to play Pinehurst No. 2 as our first golf course; a Donald Ross gem. Or as I called it, a challenging course. The golf course has raised greens and perpetually slightly off-kilter playing angles which challenge anyone. The natural scenery on every hole is beautiful; the rough consists of sandy and scrubby bushes that only seasoned caddy can locate your ball. The fairways had a springboard once the ball landed, but that might have been my illusion. Regardless, the greens were a challenge, but the overall play was entertaining. We also enjoyed the Cradle afterwards, a Par three nine-hole course about just having fun. And we also played on our trip Pinehurst No. 8 & No. 6, unfortunately unable to get a tee time for Pinehurst No. 4. Overall, a magical golf experience which was more than what we expected.

Our room is terrible. We came all the way here from California, and here is our view. There is literally no place to unpack. One nightstand drawer each. We are here all week. The shower leaks all over the bathroom floor! Housekeeping didn't show up to turn over our room until 4:15pm when we were already back in the room after having been gone all day. Also, the walls are as thin as cardboard, and I can hear the country music from the room next to us as I am trying to take a nap. Very disappointed in our experience at the Carolina Inn. I expected much more. The village is nice though. Very quaint.

Is there a better premium golf experience in the US? Get the golf package, you won't regret it and you'll never forget it. It's old, it's got character, it's unforgettable and you'll experience something unique. I was with a group of 11 golfers, we played #2, #1 and #4 and added 'The Cradle' as a bonus. Donald Ross is immortalized here. You can see his former home off the fairway on #2. You'll be well taken care of in every way. The food is incredible. We got the breakfast package which gets you the buffett breakfast every morning starting at oh 600! The dining room at the Carolina Inn has a great menu and something for everyone though the guys that had the steak entrees were not so favorable. I had the Wedge salad and added the chicken and salmon and asked for just the iceberg lettuce and it was great! They have a shuttle that takes you the 5 min ride to the Golf course complex that runs through the day and into the evening. The room and accommodations were outstanding. There are so many restaurant & food options you will be impressed. The service is outstanding and there is always someone available to answer your questions. Remember, you get what you pay for!

We came here just for a day trip as it's just under 2 hour drive from wake Forest. Carolina hotel is steeped in history and they encourage congregating on the patio as it has lovely rocking chairs to enjoy the serenity. The walls are filled with all the famous golfers and even Annie Oakley who started a gun club and held exhibitions here. There are several outdoor pools and a spa so plenty to enjoy even if you're not a golfer. We met a woman who came on a package for golf school and they offer lessons to all skill levels. The famous golf course # 2 is just a short drive from where the hotel sits. Again, they welcome you to sit and watch the golfers lucky enough to hone their skills. They don't allow carts on this course but they have 8 other courses on property. It's a beautiful historic area and the downtown area of Pinehurst has shops and eateries to explore. Most are golf themed with loads of golf souvenirs. A golfers Mecca to be sure!

The administrative staff hosted an informative educational field trip for Sports Management majors at the University of Mount Olive and students in the Professional Golf Management program at Sandhills Community College. The panel of experienced professionals offered a history of Pinehurst, statistics, strategies, and words of wisdom to the 30 students present. They answered students' questions. We were also given a personal tour a section of the golf course and resort. Exceptional hospitality and generosity from Pinehurst. We hope to be invited back to this beautifully landscaped and maintained venue. The box lunch was amazing as well.

While the Ryder Cup Lounge is under reconstruction, the hotel has created a space for those patrons in the front portion of the main dining room. Not ideal, but they make it work. So when you are looking for a nice dinner in the dining room be sure to ask for a table in the back portion of the dining room. There, you will find a more refined dining experience. Our dining experience was just what we expected. We were served by a professional staff of waiters and the food was delicious. The prices were reasonable and dessert was spectacular. The attached picture is the Mile High Key Lime Pie. That is fruit and Macadamia nuts at the base of that meringue masterpiece. Don't miss it! Cheers!

Excellent place for just not only golf but a Spa weekend for Mother's Day! It started out with our arrival. The best check in service was with a fellow named Kasen. He was fantastic and accommodating to my needs and wants. The Spa was perfection. My massage was with Sam and my mom was with Alicia, both were well versed in massage and very professional. Dinner at 1892 was superb. The beef short ribs were to die for, finishing with the exquisite soufflé! The host Al was hilarious and even gave us a parting gift of the recipe for pumpkin biscuits! We will be back soon!

My wife and I recently visited Pinehurst Resort a few weeks ago and except for the accommodations, we had an outstanding trip. We played #2, #4 and #7, and are outstanding courses. Caddies for #2 and #4 and well worth the extra expense to navigate these bucket list courses. The services at Pinehurst are top shelf and the entire staff, from the golf to the restaurants, spa and other amenities were excellent. One major disappointment was the condominium provided to us as part officials our golf package, and was old, dated, cheap furniture and pretty bad considering the high price we paid for the trip. We stayed at the Linville Condos and I would suggest asking to see pictures before agreeing to accept the accommodations. Had our condo been excellent, I would give Pinehurst 5 stars. #PinehurstResort

First of all, if you go to Pinehurst, you must stay at the Carolina Hotel. They are refreshing the hotel, but it is dated and historic. Our room was cozy and comfortable, but the water from the shower kept leaking so there was always a puddle of water after showering. The food at the Carolina was mediocre, sadly we were really disappointed by the quality of the food. The chicken was dry, the salmon was mushy, and the mashed potatoes were blah. Given the history, grandiose and reputation of the Carolina, we expected great things in terms of their restaurant. Most of the staff were exceptional and super friendly we only ran into one person at the front desk who was not up to par with the rest of her colleagues. Highly recommend staying at the Carolina when staying in Pinehurst. We golfed at No. 8, 2, and 4. 8 was a nice warmup to 2 and 4. The waste lands and narrow fairways on No. 2 made it challenging and the greens were brutal. No. 4 was the most aesthetically pleasing and a lot of fun to play after playing No. 2! On our last day we played the Cradle and that was a very fun way to end our golf trip!

I stayed at The Carolina Hotel , first class! I love this place and the food was excellent! The Ryder Cup lounge is excellent, I recommend the wings and the key lime pie is best ever category! This is a great place to unwind after an amazing round of golf at one of the 9 courses. The porch is where you want to be rehydrating! We were supposed to enjoy the breakfast buffet but were forced to order room service due to the current pandemic. The room service was superb and I can only imagine how amazing the buffet would have been. I will recommend the pancakes , best ever. Also the smoked salmon on a bagel, omelette and eggs Benedict were all top notch. The golf : wow! I played # 2 twice, number 4 twice, # 8 and # 9. Number two is obviously a must play as is # 4 but #8 and #9 were both amazing, #8 may have been a slight favorite over #9. This place is amazing and I can not wait to return!

My husband and I stayed here while he played in the Mercedes golf tournament. The Mercedes people made our experience absolutely miserable. They were incredibly rude and unhelpful with everything. They talked down to people and gave short answers as if they couldn't be bothered. Our trip felt like it was going downhill fast. BUT thank heavens for the Pinehurst staff at the Carolina Hotel. Everyone we came into contact with was AMAZING! I brought my 3 month old along because I wasn't comfortable leaving him just yet. The Mercedes people wouldn't allow me at any of the golf events because I had a child. I was so upset to be stuck at the hotel the entire time. However, thanks to the hotel staff I never felt "stuck." Everyone went out of their way to make me and my little one feel comfortable. One night at dinner he got fussy and tired right before my food came out. To avoid a scene I asked to have my food put in a to-go box and given to my husband so I could take my baby upstairs. The staff however did not put it in a to-go box and give it to my husband. Instead they plated it beautifully and the manager himself brought it up to my room for me! It was so incredibly thoughtful. I appreciated not having to eat a steak out of a to-go box! The staff in the Ryder's cup restaurant are beyond kind. Everyone makes you feel like you're right at home. I love the rocking chairs they have placed out on the patio. I was able to enjoy a glass of wine while sitting outside rocking my little one in a chair. Even the cleaning ladies were so kind. When I told them I had an infant they worked around our nap schedule so he could sleep without interruption and when he was awake we left for them to come tidy the room. If needing a hotel to stay at in the area I HIGHLY recommend the Carolina Hotel. It's a beautiful hotel with a fantastic staff that will take great care of you

The review I am giving reflects my personal experience with the hotel. After asking the hotel to enact changes to it many food and beverage menus to make them accessible to blind and visually impaired persons, they refused and denied all responsibility to do so. I clearly demonstrated that the menus are PDF formatted and as such cannot be accessed by screen readers. Please stay somewhere else if you can.

This resort is very nice. It has a historic feel to it, because of it's history. However, it has been updated in certain areas of the hotel/resort, which still gives is a nice feel. There are some good activities to do here...golfing, the spa or just eating at the restaurant/sports bars and watching games. The interior of the resort is nice, from the main entrance to the restaurant and bar areas. The rooms are nice as well. They have a relaxed, southern feel to them. If you are looking for modern accommodations, this may not be the place for you. The small town of Pinehurst also has restaurants, shopping and bars. Recommend trying out the resort!

Under construction and not Much of a restaurant available now. Wait until they are done with work and I am sure things will improve. Not much of a reason to stay here now unless it is around $100/night or less.

Simply put, Pinehurst is a world class golf destination attracting players from all over the globe. Very expensive but worth it, put #2 & #4 on your Golf Bucket List. The club house is classy, decorated with historic memorabilia. Food & accommodations are top shelf. Save your pennies and bring your A Game for an unforgettable experience.

Excellent restaurant on site. I had NY Strip Steak that was awesome, I could even cut it with a fork and it was over 2" thick. The atmosphere was perfect and decorated for Christmas. Numerous deserts to choose from, lots of chocolate. The server was also awesome, never went without needing anything.

One of North Carolina's most iconic buildings, the Carolina Hotel is the centerpiece of the internationally acclaimed Pinehurst golf resort, just two hours east of Charlotte in the state's rural Sandhills region. As a guest during a recent conference, I wandered the hotel's historic halls and porches (which date back to 1901, but are in impeccable condition) enjoyed lunch and a few drinks in the comfortable Ryder Cup Lounge, and got in a morning workout at the fantastic fitness facility in the adjacent Spa. I did not, unfortunately, have the opportunity to play the famed Pinehurst #2, or any of the other renowned courses on the property. Since this is by definition a golf resort, my review will be definitively incomplete until I come back for a round, but I'll try to summarize the highlights of my stay in other regards. The Carolina Hotel is inviting and cozy, with an modest but attractive front lobby, low-ceilinged hallways, and well-maintained guest rooms. My standard room had all the comforts of home, and everything from the carpet to the bathroom were in good condition. I had a few uninvited wasps in my room upon arrival, but they were quickly and efficiently addressed by management. The lunch buffet in the Ryder Cup Lounge was excellent, and the bar had a variety of local and regional beers on tap (including a Highland beer specifically brewed for the resort). The meeting areas were spacious and comfortable, and the entire hotel was gorgeously decorated for Christmas, with trees, garland, and a small collection of gingerbread houses on display. The adjacent village of Pinehurst, just a five-minute walk from the hotel, is also wonderful, with a cute collection of shops and restaurants. But frankly, if you're not visiting for golf or (as I was) a conference, there are better resorts in North Carolina and around the Southeast -- particularly if your getaway involves young kids. I'll definitely be back for a round, and am looking forward to experiencing the full hospitality of the Pinehurst Resort when the time comes.

Exceptional customer service!!! I stayed here for a recent conference and while I've been to MANY high end hotels and resorts I have to comment on the level of customer service here. Specifically Kelsey (the morning manager) and Billy or Bobby (whoever was in charge of our large group for banquet service. The property overall is very aesthetically pleasing (though I'm told they will be doing a total renovation soon, it will be interesting to see what that looks like. The gym is great, has everything you need for cardio and a good HIIT workout and you honestly can't beat the beauty of the surrounding area!

As a background, Pinehurst Resort is the Mecca for golf enthusiasts to make a pilgrimage to the origin of Golf in America. The Pinehurst Resort is a reminder of Southern Hospitality and golf in days of a different era. The resort used to have strict dress codes such as men's jackets for dinner as an example, but now they only require causal clothes. It is a vacation spot for golfers, and non golfers alike. What spurs golfers to stay at one of the resort hotels is the ability to reserve a tee time at one of the 9 temples (I.e. golf courses) that the religious golfer practices their religion. If you plan to golf at the prized Pinehurst #2 where the US Open is set to play in 2024 you will need to book accommodations at the Pinehurst Resort. Pinehurst #2 is where Payne Stewart won the US Open in 1999 before his tragic death. Now you have booked a golf package and have started your day. You will be greeted on arrival by your hosts that will unload your baggage. Check-in is at 4 PM but you can store your luggage at the hotel and start playing right away. If you decide to eat breakfast, the Carolina Dining room hosts a buffet open from 6 AM to 10AM where a pianist provides an atmosphere from days gone by. Pinehurst Resort has 9 18 hole courses with Pinehurst #2 as the coveted course. Courses #4 and #8 are sister courses to #2. Both of these courses are very challenging. There is also an executive par 3 course called "the cradle " for a fun day with the family. Courses #1 and #5 are very playable for the "duffer". There is a top notch spa that is booked months in advanced on the property. Also bikes are available Nd the village of Pinehurst is only a 800 Meter walk away. Though Pinehurst Resorts tries very hard to provide an atmosphere akin to an era long gone, the enjoyment of the rich historical sanctity of Pinehurst as the origin of golf depends on you and me. There are those that see Pinehurst Resort as another luxury hotel with like expectations . The hotel is a relic from a different age. The basic rooms are small. The bed is comfortable. One thing is you must request a robe rather than standard robes in rooms. So if you are expecting the NY Ritz Carlton you will be disappointed. If you are in awe being a part of the history of golf I would say you would be most appreciated. Ways we can make the experience better is to be polite. A guest reached over me for a bagel when I took an extra 5 seconds to split a English muffin for the toaster. One guest sat next to me on the deck and conducted a 90 minute conversation on their iPad. In the Carolina Dinning room enthusiastic golfers conducted their conversations with their outdoor voice. As I said an era gone by. If you golf, you can drop your clubs off at the course. A shuttle runs from the hotel to all nine courses. 1-5 clubhouse is centrally located. One really neat thing about Pinehurst is that the courses are walkable . I did #4 and #2 with Caddies. Pat and Jay, two young men who knew the course well hosted us on #4. Mark Locklear carried my clubs on #2. One thing caddies will do for the golfer is encourage course management. If you do employ a caddie for your round do not expect for them to carry a bag like Roger Dangerfied in Caddyshack. You will need to get the clubs transferred into a light bag. One thing that will make the day for everybody to be more enjoyable is to choose a tee box more akin to your skill level. One adage is 28 times the average drive or 36 times your average 5 iron for a total yardage that you and all those behind you will enjoy the day. Pinehurst #2 has wide fairways but the greens are "turtle back " so if you play the US Open tips and are hitting an approach shot from 200 yards you will be spending time and shots chipping around the green. If you spray shots from a distance the grass mounds will gobble your ball. For the sake of those behind you chose your tee box wisely. Pinehurst Resort is a place of an era gone by. If we apply the lessons of kindergarten and restore politeness in our daily lives we can bring that era back. Pinehurst Resorts is a reminder of how it used to be even for a day of golf at the origin of golf in America.

I want to thank Adam at Pinehurst No 2. I played a tournament event this weekend at two of the courses. At the end of my round on No 2 my rangefinder went missing. I reported the situation to Adam in the golf shop but had little hope of ever seeing the rangefinder again. Adam assured me he would do everything in his power to make attempts to retrieve it. Sure enough Adam located my lost rangefinder and contacted me that night as he said he would. I am incredibly thankful to Adam and his team for getting this done. You're awesome Adam and the resort should be proud to have you on the team!! Thanks again!!

Having stayed here many times for golf trips, its definitely a world class experience. The golf alone is top notch and while #2 gets most of the accolades (and definitely well deserved), some of the other courses like #4 and #8 are also a must play. The Cradle (short game course) was kind of fun too, but not sure I'd pay $50 to play it again. For stay and play packages, the meals are great. The breakfast and dinner at the Carolina Dining Room is phenomenal, as is the Holly Inn.

Wow! My son and I joined a group of friends for a week of golf at the cradle of American golf. While the golf didn't disappoint I have to say the overall experience is why I'm writing this. From the second we stepped on the property we were greeted with smiles and southern hospitality. The staff at the door were always friendly and holding the door or ensuring your bags and clubs got where they were supposed to be. Next came the staff at the desk and they wanted to make sure all your questions were answered satisfactorily and the check in/out process was smooth. The breakfast was southern perfection and plentiful to fill your tank before a day of challenging golf. Once again the restaurant staff were always friendly and attentive. The resort has enough shuttles operating to ensure you never wait very long to get a ride and the drivers are friendly and make sure you get to the proper course. All in all this was a trip that my son and I will never forget and we are already looking forward to doing it again.

Place was great but a bit pricey for a family. I found a house on pinehurstgetaways.com that will save me quite a bit of money my next visit.

Played No 2 last week. It's too expensive for the overall experience. Golf course was great and difficult, but overall experience not worth the $$ LOTS of people at clubhouse area. Tough to find a slot on the range pre round, which is is strange given the $$$ spent. Clubhouse staff likely under stress due to COVID, but not welcoming at all. Not what I would have expected. Caddie on the other hand was great.

Great facility. Great golf, great accommodations and very customer centric service. The only reason this not a 5 star review is...this is my third trip here and the pace of play on number 2. The first two times it was close to 5 hours. This time 5 1/2+. Totally unacceptable. It really ruins what should be a great experience. Other courses we fine.

Relaxing, Beautiful, Wonderful. Not much more to say. The history of this resort is incredibly interesting. The Southern hospitality is real.

I enjoy coming here and experiencing the rich history along the walls of the Carolina Hotel. Top notch place!

My first visit to Pinehurst as a non-golfing wife has been lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful. The nostalgia and history are rich. You don't have to be a golfer to appreciate the grandeur and heritage of this, American golf birthplace. The main hotel is steeped in classic golf themed decor. However the nod to the likes of Olmstead (famous architect) and Annie Oakley (famous sharpshooter) do not go unnoticed. My visit to the spa met and exceeded expectations of a well appointed serene venue with attentive and courteous staff. Despite the age of this iconic place, the appointments are perfect for a relaxing visit, complete with state of the art fitness center, variety of food choices at on site restaurants, comfortable rocking chairs throughout, and courtesy shuttles from place to place. Soothing Southern accents and sweet tea abound. You're invited to sit a spell - as long as your heart delights. The fellas may pine for the challenge of the golf courses - and I am in awe of the magical options including the famed "Cradle"- but for me, my happy place is meandering among the beautiful nature scenes of the resort and leisurely resting my bones on the front porch of the hotel. Say hi if you see me. I'm the one looking happily relaxed.

Room was moist and smelled like mold. Even the sheets were damp feeling. For a price tag like this, I'd highly recommend looking elsewhere for lodging.

Went and played number 2 and number 8. Contrary to what the starters may tell you, make sure to take an extra club on most greens as short is almost always bad. In terms of the various hotel options...it is VERY important to stay in the Carolina hotel. We had reserved a room in one of the condos and it was HORRIBLE. so bad that we had to go back and ask to be transferred. The Carolina hotel is a bit old, but the rooms are in good shape and nice vibe. The staff was all very nice and pleasant and quite accommodating. We ate at the Ryder cup room and the deuce and both were really good as well as the breakfast at the Carolina room. Pro shop is amazing at pinehurst 2 but the shop in the hotel is also good (Vic Is really great). Only reason for 4 star and not 5 is that 1. Squalid state of the condo we first got and 2. Shuttle to the course the second day took nearly 20 minutes.

The Carolina hotel was above and beyond. From walking in to leaving the doors, someone is always there to say hello and ask how your day is going. The rooms are nothing special, but they are cozy and the beds are so comfortable. I love the large bathrooms, and all the fixings they have in the room. In room coffee maker, blow dryer and bathroom fixins. They have tea in the afternoons with this amazing coconut citrus house tea or a variety, along with cookies. A great coffee shop, two awesome golf/gift shops, a spa, The Carolina Room dining which has a delicious breakfast buffet with a piano player! Everything from the bar, to the hosts, to the people at the front desk are so sweet, kind and make you feel at home. I loved sitting on the porch each night in our rocking chair and just taking in the sights. Being from CA, where everything is rushed, it sure was nice to stay there and slow things down a bit. We are really looking forward to our next visit! It's for sure a must for any golfers, those who just want to relax and unwind, and even for those who love history! There is so much history in that location and little city that its amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and was sad to leave. Til next time!

What a beautiful place at Christmas! This was a nice quick weekend getaway to celebrate the holidays with an organization that we are members of. WOW! the holiday decorations are the best. You walk in the door and you really feel the spirit of Christmas. The staff was very attentive for all of the events that we had during our time there. When we got in our room, one of the main light bulbs was out. We called the front desk, within minutes someone was there the change the light bulb. And it was service with a smile. We were in the main hotel, so we saw a lot of vistors coming through just to view the decor, and it was a site to behold. Still picture really don't do it justice. If you can go to Pinehurst resdort during the holiday season it will be worth your time, it will definitely get you in the sprirt for the holidays!

I didn't go for the golf so can't comment on that other than the courses are beautiful. The outdoor pool is great. Good food and servers. I love the spa. Pricey, but the experience is supreme!

We had a wonderful stay at Pinehurst celebrating our friend's 60th birthday. The front desk at Holly Inn went out of their way to make sure every need we had was met. Particularly helpful were Jessica at the front desk, Kevin Cody, Chris, who was driving a shuttle and Vince F. I would definitely recommend Pinehurst, especially Holly Inn, because of the excellent attention we received from the staff.

I've been coming here for years and they surprise me every time. I came here with my family for our yearly 4th of July visit to see my mother. When we checked in they upgraded us to a villa. When we walked into the villa it was huge and beautiful. Unfortunately with two kids we needed a bathtub and the separate sun room we usually put the baby's crib in. We went backed and asked if they could move us to our regular room. After a couple of minutes James came to talk to me and said he would find me the type of room I needed. He got the job done and we were very happy. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. After a long first day we ordered room service and couldn't finish. Try the sticky wings and Carolina burger(it's my gout cheat meal). The breakfast is just as good. Biscuits and gravy and pancakes are my go to breakfast. Staff is friendly and always say hello and will stop what they are doing to get the elevator or hold the door. Southern hospitality at its finest. My daughter has a crazy nap schedule and they always clean the room right after she's done with her nap. Pool area and spa are just as good. All I need to do now is get interested in golf to complete the package.

The golfers play ground! Pinehurst is among the best places to stay and play golf in the US. 9 golf courses are apart of the resort. They host the USKids Teen World and World tournaments each year along with many other events from Pro, Pro Am, Senior to Junior tournaments and everything in between. The locals are friendly and really know how to show some hospitality. There are plenty of places to sleep on the resort or few other places around too. Either way, everything is very close and easy to access. My son played #8 (the centinnial) golf course this year in competition. Among the toughest, besides #2, to play. The course was built in 1996 and it replaced a shooting range. Interested story behind that. Anyways, the course is Bermuda grass, very fast and hard to predict. Makes for some good competition. We love this place and hope to be back for many years to come to play all the other courses.

Planned a golf trip for years- made reservations months in advance. I tried to play No 2 and no 4. Both extremely oversold. No 4 took 6 hours to play. No 2- I made it to hole 7 in 3.5 hours and was told I couldn't finish. I was refunded the extra fee for #2, and when I complained to the manager I was told I would be compensated with another trip. That was 6 months ago and I have not heard anything from them. Hotel is ok and the food at the Carolina is very good, but this is a trip for golf and I am extremely disappointed in how I have been treated.

I like Pinehurst. It's quaint, charming and the little village is nice. Further, the golf is great. That said, management needs to get their act together. I'm not sure what's happening with staff but you can tell they're unengaged, overworked and unhappy. They need people and then those people need to perform. The shuttle service has been bad. Food service is unbelievably slow and to top it off they lost my clubs twice. I'd recommend to anyone that you skip this place until after 2024 and hope they re-tool.

One of my favorite venues on the planet, but today, I had the worst cheeseburger ever at #8. It was pre-cooked, then burnt in the microwave, and was as juicy as a rock. I had one bite and wished I ordered a hockey puck. I'll chalk it up to COVID-19. The lady that nuked it was as nice as they get. Didn't have the heart to tell her how horrific it was.

We love this resort. The staff are amazing Felix was a gracious and informative host and he went out of his way to make us feel at home. Our room was incredible and comfortable. Wonderful history and the conference that we are attending has amazing food. We had their roasted ham one evening with a wonderful salad and an incredible sauce. The next day we had a fried chicken dinner with a black pepper gravy Greens. Potato salad. Green beans and the house pickled beets. Sugar snap peas. Carrots. They had a honey pecan dressing on their salad. Wow. And we are only on our second day. What a beautiful place

I have been to pinehurst many times but had never stayed at the resort. This time i had an early meeting and decided to stay there. What a complete train wreck. They put me in a condo several miles from the resort that looks like a vintage 1970's stage set from the brady bunch. Disgusting moldy bathrooms. Single beds. Oh well thank goodness there is a yellow electric canopener (seriously???) prominently on the counter. My advice if you were given a room here would be to leave and try the marriott courtyard. At least it is a real hotel. That venting aside - dinner in the ryder cup grill was outstanding. I also took a walk through the proshop - amazing variety of merchandise and very helpful staff. Hopefully others experience will be better but i cannot even give this one star due to the room. I will try to post pictures.

Really disappointed...tiny room... popcorn ceiling falling apart. Staff is super nice or else I would have given this stay a 1 or 2 stars. We were here just a year ago, and I don't remember that room being in such bad shape. Will update this post after we see if the spa has also gone done in quality ...

Shout out to Aaron at Pinehurst 8! He not only caught my mistake but was super sweet when he helped me locate my clubs and wouldn't take a tip. The service at the resort has been wonderful but this deserved a special shout out!

My husband and I were a bit underwhelmed during our stay here last week. If you're looking for some serious relaxation or a bit of luxury, I'd honestly suggest staying elsewhere. If you're purely looking for a golf escape, this may be the right place for you. We are accustomed to staying at Ritz Carlton properties and were disappointed that the price of this resort did not seem to equate to its value, unlike their properties. A few examples: - The spa did not live up to my expectations. There is nowhere to sit to relax that is cool and calm. You can either wait around the noisy pool or in the area where the sauna is which naturally is quite warm. The actual treatment I received there was fine but not great. - My husband and I golfed at No. 2 and while the course was beautiful and in great condition, we were very disappointed by the pace of play. Our round somehow took 6 1/2 hours and we found ourselves waiting at almost every tee box, sometimes for several groups to tee off. You would think such a renowned golf course would be managed better. We ended up being late to our dinner that night because we never expected our round of golf to take almost 7 hours. - Our room overlooked the pool area and we were awoken at 7:15 AM by at least an hour of leaf blowing. I understand they want to do this when guests aren't around, but it was a very unwanted wake-up call on our vacation. We were on the top floor and it was still loud enough to wake my husband, who is a very deep sleeper. - While most of the staff was helpful and nice, the woman who works at the customer relations desk needs a serious attitude adjustment. She was the second person I dealt with upon my arrival and put a very bad taste in my mouth with her clippiness and unprofessional behavior. I later observed her being very cordial to other (male) guests on several occasions, so I can only assume my treatment may have had something to do with my gender and we would have had more success had I sent my husband over. - The bill we received at check-out was very difficult to understand. The staff even had so much difficulty explaining their itemization to me that they had to call us back several hours after our departure to explain. I enjoyed the Carolina Hotel itself. Our room was a nicely appointed corner room with a comfortable walk-in shower and our request for an additional mini fridge was granted. The dining options at the hotel were also good - we enjoyed dinner at the 1895 Grille and the Carolina Ballroom was nice for both breakfast and dinner. For a much better venue and value, I'd recommend a stay at Kiawah Island.

very disappointing stay. rooms are old and in need of updating. food is at best average in dining rooms. golf is fine except had a horrible experience on number 2. we teed off on number 2 at 7am-when we got to the 14th tee we had to wait for four foursomes to start their round on the 14th tee. nobody told us this would happen and besides i have played lots of golf courses/resorts and never seen this before. since we were in the middle of our round, would have thought we had some sort of right to continue to play. but NO. pinehurst took a 4 hour round and made it into what would have been a five hour plus round. we had to stop since we had flights to catch. it is clear that the desire for revenues far exceeds their concerns about a customer experience. this was my second trip to pinehurst and for sure my last.

I went to the Dining Room at the Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst, NC. Our server was Randy, yes with a y lol. He was the best and made us feel very special. The food was incredible. I had the Lobster Tail and being from Boston let me tell you I was not disappointed. The Maitre d' Craig was so nice and all around such a delight!! All around one of the best meals and dinners I have had in a long time. The ambience was beautiful as well. Thank you to your staff for a special time :)

Mar, 2009 was my second trip out to Pinehurst. I went on the Acura package and this was a deal that was hard to pass up. The package was 2 nights 3 days at the resort, 3 rounds of golf on any of 7 courses (#2 costs extra), breakfast and dinner included for 2 days, $300 gift card to the room, box of Pro V1s, use of the spa facility, and a 4-hour ride in a new Acura. Let me start with accommodations. They were fabulous. My room was bigger this year than the previous year. King size bed with flat screen tv, walk-in closet, lounge chairs, and plenty of space. Golf was fabulous even though it was wet and raining. For the second year in a row, it rained, but not as bad as last year. Furthermore, I have been told it was atypical for the time of year. This year I played 6, 7, and 8. Everyone I talked to said these three courses are harder than #2 the championship course that Payne Stewart won his Open on. The food was fantastic again. We ate at the 1895 Grille and The Carolina. Service was great as usual. The spa was awesome. The interesting thing is that I got the same person who worked on me last year! More on people in a bit. The facilities are separated between men and women but come together in the waiting area where there is a lap pool. We didn't have time to use the Acura since the weekend was so packed with activities, although last year I got to visit Southern Pines. Now, the people. Hospitable through and through. One thing I noticed as I talked to staff was that they were the same people from last year. This is certainly something you don't see often. Pinehurst has a high retention rate. Many are seniors who retire in the area and go work for Pinehurst. If you are thinking about making the trip, talk to Tiffani Shepard who is the Social Sales Supervisor. She helped me book the trip for our group and was very helpful in making sure our trip and itinerary worked out. She definitely made sure that all my questions were addressed before we got there!

Great place for the family with so much history and things to do.....I don't even play golf. This has become an annual family tradition highly recommend exploring the hotels and village. Great weekend get away.

Today's was my mother's birthday, she and 3 friends went to the hotel for brunch after lunch at 1 pm, in the Ryder's cup restaurant. What an absolute disgrace to the Hotel, coffee cold, eggs Benedict cold and delivered-to the table by the manager, when the three ladies complained about everything that was ordered to their table, he turned and did nothing. Amazing a hotel with so much history, famous, to not care to the people that come for special occasions. I have to say these ladies have lived in the area for 25 years and have watched the quality of everything go to pot. What a shame, when no one cares, business get to big to care to those who makes them good! Typical of big corporations that forget the clients! I'm afraid my moms next birthday, they will probably go somewhere else! Disappointed 1 star, should be -1 star!
