The Inside Scoop On Planning Your Pinehurst Golf Trip

Planning a golf trip to Pinehurst is about more than picking great courses—it's about creating a trip your group will remember for years. A little planning goes a long way, especially during the area's busiest golf seasons.

If you've been nominated as the one to plan your group's Pinehurst golf trip, you probably know the feeling—everyone is counting on you to find the perfect place to stay, coordinate tee times, and make sure the trip goes off without a hitch. That's where we come in. As a local team, we take the stress out of planning by providing insider recommendations, local expertise, and first access to available tee times through our golf package program. From choosing the right courses to finding the perfect vacation rental, we'll help you create an itinerary that fits your group and makes the planning process easy.

Before booking anything, gather your group and decide what matters most. Are you looking to play as many premier courses as possible, or is staying within a certain budget the top priority? Having those conversations early makes the planning process much smoother.

Start by booking your accommodations early. Staying in a vacation rental gives your group plenty of space to relax after a day on the course, with amenities like full kitchens, outdoor patios, and room for everyone to gather. All of our homes are in Southern Pines and Pinehurst, so you're a quick drive away from the Sandhills courses. If you need recommendations or don't know where to start, contact our team and we'll help point you in the right direction!

Next, think about your preferred tee times. Does your group enjoy getting the first tee time of the day and having the afternoon to relax? Or would you rather sleep in, grab breakfast, and play in the afternoon? Building your schedule around your group's preferences can make the entire trip more enjoyable.

Our golf course tier system is also a great way to narrow down your options. Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly golf getaway or want to experience some of the area's premier courses, we can help you build an itinerary that fits your group's goals and price point.

Once you have a general idea of your budget, course priorities, and preferred tee times—or even if you're not quite sure where to start—reach out to our golf packaging team. We'll help you put together a customized golf itinerary and pair it with the perfect vacation rental for your group.

When building your golf itinerary, don't wait until the last minute. Spring and fall are the most popular times to visit Pinehurst, and tee times can fill up months in advance. Planning ahead gives you the best selection and helps ensure your group gets exactly the experience you're looking for. Tee times open up at different times throughout the year. November/December is when a majority of courses start booking for the following Spring-Winter.

Whether it's your first golf getaway or an annual tradition, a well-planned Pinehurst trip is always worth it. We look forward to helping you find the perfect place to stay while you enjoy everything the Sandhills has to offer.
