In the Sandhills, the Home of American Golf
The pine-scented Sandhills region has drawn golfers for over a century, its storied courses and resorts forming a pilgrimage site for the game's devotees.
Golf in America has many homes, but few as storied as the Sandhills.
A century of the game
The pine-scented, sandy-soiled region has drawn golfers for well over a hundred years, its celebrated courses hosting the game's greatest championships. For devotees, a visit is something close to a pilgrimage.
The resorts pair world-class golf with the genteel hospitality of a bygone era.
Beyond the fairway
The appeal extends past the sport. The region's climate is mild, its landscape distinctive, its pace unhurried.
Whether or not one plays, the Sandhills offer a particular kind of Southern leisure — quiet, traditional and deeply rooted in a game that has defined the region for generations.
