There are few places in the world that can compare with North Carolina as a golfing destination and the jewel in the crown is the fabulous Pinehurst Resort where in 1999 and 2005 two of the greatest US Opens have taken place on the fabled No.2 Course. This Donald Ross masterpiece is just one of 8 courses at the Pinehurst Resort and there are another 20 in the surrounding Sandhills area where the gently rolling countryside is so well suited to the crafting of superb golf courses like Tobacco Road, The Pit and The National.

The access to the area could not be easier from the UK with direct flights into both Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte which are only just over an hours drive away from Pinehurst. For those looking for some seaside golf then the area from Bald Head Island down to the South Carolina border is full of some of the finest golf courses most of which generally come under the heading of Myrtle Beach although they are actually in North Carolina. Courses such as Tidewater, Oyster Bay and Sea Trail are just a few of the Myrtle Beach area courses in North Carolina.
