Enjoy 18 holes of golf and lunch for 7 at one of North Carolina's most prestigious golf courses.

The Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst lies nestled in the Sandhills, formed when the sea had finished with this land millions of years ago and had left the wind to sift the sand for untold millennia. It is now a unique world of gleaming sand, gently rolling hills and clear water. Five hundred feet above sea level; it has a temperate climate, being protected by the Appalachians on one side and the Atlantic on the other. The Club lies on some 2000 acres of land which include three lakes (the largest, Lake Watson, is sixty acres) and two eighteen-hole golf courses of world-class caliber. The lordly longleaf pines dominate its deciduous sisters on the landscape. These trees, over 100 feet high, harbor the endangered Red Cockaded Woodpecker. These birds refuse to nest in any other tree and experts speculated that this colony's ancestry dates to the maturity of these trees some 250 year ago.
