Many of the Pinehurst Resort amenities are available to the general public. These include a world class health and fitness spa, all hotel restaurant facilities, the golf pro shop, clubhouse dining room and Veranda Bar. Enjoy a drink at the Veranda Bar and watch golfers play to the 18th green of Course No. 2. On some Sundays, the pin is placed exactly where Payne Stewart made his historic par putt to win the 99 US Open.

In 2014 Men's and Women's US OPENS are scheduled back-to-back for the first time in history. We are receiving an increasing number of 2014 US OPEN inquiries from volunteers and spectators. Our condo is listed with a realtor. Rate is significantly above our regular weekly rate. By August or September, 2013 we should know whether we will want to rent our condo through vrbo or not. If we do, we will contact people who have inquired and see if we can work out an appropriate rate. We would be particularly interested in splitting the time in some manner during the US OPEN so we too can enjoy our condo and its magnificent location as one of the closest rentals to the entrance gate.

We can arrange a limited number of daily guest passes which will allow dining in the Members Club, use of tennis and croquet courts, 3 outdoor pools and marina (sand beach, boat and canoe rentals). Sunday's Fairway Breakfast across Highway 5 at the Members' Club (about $13 including tax and tip) has become very popular with our guests. We enjoy helping you figure out just which of Pinehurst's many joys fit your schedule and will make you want to come back. As our guest you can play six Pinehurst courses, including Course No. 2, at unaccompanied guest rates. Guest greens fees on Pinehurst resort courses are reduced by one half 3 to 4 hours before dusk. Depending on date, owner may be able to accompany guests, which results in lower greens fees.

There are many really outstanding courses within a 20 mile radius. Our favorites are Tobacco Road, Anderson Creek, Talamore, Little River, Legacy. Information and special offers for all Pinehurst area golf courses are available. Other interesting local attractions are the world famous pottery district which begins about 15 miles west of Pinehurst. The Sandhills Horticultural Gardens are about 10 minutes away, Cameron antique district about 20 minutes. The Pinehurst Harness Track is across the street with it's endearing Track Restaurant.

Our mid-century modern condo gives new meaning to Pinehurst’s “casual elegance”.

You'll find a recycling bin, you may choose cloth towels instead of paper if you wish, cloth napkins are on the table, a recycled grocery bag may be in the wastecan, and kitchen boasts service for 10 so your dishwasher will be fuller before use. High speed wireless internet access for your laptop. TV and DVD in bedroom and living room. Rear porch overlooks 18th fairway and green of Course No. 5.

On your way to Florida and need a break from I-95? Pinehurst is a quiet oasis about half way between NY and Florida. You can get off I-95 at NC Exit 138 and follow US64 around Raleigh to US1 and on to Pinehurst (about 2 hrs. total). It is about an hour from Pinehurst to I-95 at the NC/SC border, then about 6 hours to Jacksonville, FL. Get in a morning round of golf in the Pinehurst area before heading off to Florida. Using the airports in Southern Pines (15 minutes) or Raleigh (about 1 1/2 hours) are, of course, also options. North Myrtle Beach is about 2 hours and 15 minutes to the south. Plenty of shopping in Myrtle Beach and the ocean is warm enough for swimming from mid May through the end of September. You could continue your golf vacation in Myrtle, too. Guests have also visited enroute to/from Hilton Head and Outer Banks. Weddings, football games, and family reunions (in addtion to golf, of course) have all brought people to our Pinehurst condo. We have many repeat guests.
