Me and fiancée stayed here for my best friend's wedding. The grounds and hotel are immaculate. The staff and service always pleasant and helpful. We were extremely pleased with our stay.

Was here last week (mid May) and had a great experience. Clean, large, well appointed room. Recently updated bathroom. At breakfast and dinner at hotel every night. Breakfast buffet was extensive - eggs, meats, omelets, fruits, breads, etc. Dinner was surprisingly good since made for a group. Play #1, #2, #4 and #8. #1's greens were pretty rough but it... More

Very nice place! Altho economics and cutbacks have made it less than top notch! Used to be a CCA employee and well trained in the R. Dedman philosophy of "Warm welcome, memorable experience, and fond farewell" to all guests. Didn't see too much of this to my surprise especially at such a top rated resort.

We organized an International golf competition within our Firm - two dozen golfers from the USA and all around the Globe arrived at Pinehurst in May 2012. We stayed in the Villas, the Carolina Hotel and the Holly Inn. For most of the group, it was the first visit. But it will not be the last. Here are a few... More

This hotel exceeded our expectations. Service was super. Staff were pleasant and efficient. We loved the beach club. Our teenagers ahd fun on the water and really enjoyed the paddle boats. The beach area was clean and well maintained. Rooms had a lot of southern charm. Our only complaint is that the food was nothing spectacular but was at a... More

I cannot think of any serious golf fan who has not visited or contemplated visiting this wonderful golf resort which will host the 2014 US Opens for both the men and the women on consecutive weeks, the first time this has ever happened on the same course in the same year. The Carolina Hotel is literally a national landmark hotel... More

The golf was good. Well maintained challenging courses, at least the premium ones 2,4,7,8. The breakfasts were good, typical buffet style with all the usual suspects. The dinners on the other hand were disappointing. Steaks were poorly cooked and luke warm. The fish was bland. Don't stay in the villas! Fairly spacious but way outdated. Worn carpets, tube tv's and... More

The whole experience was great, wonderful service & special little touches. We especially loved having drinks on the porch of the Carolina & having a bagpiper come up in the evenings. Such a special place!!!!

My friend and I visited the Pinehurst Spa and great day!! From the moment you walk through the door, they make you feel welcome and relaxed. We enjoyed the fruit smoothies, swimming, and lounging in various areas. We both enjoyed our treatments- well worth the money. I had a massage, and my friend had a facial. Can't wait to go... More

Very nice hotel. Great food and excellent service. Well done to the whole team. I left my Tag Heuer watch behind by accident. The hotel posted it to Australia and it arrived within 3 days. Great service.
