I spent a weekend with friends and it was an excellent experience. Good food, wonderful staff, and within walking distance to the Pinehurst Village for great shopping. Also, near Southern Pines with wonderful shopping.I plan to go back in 2014.

I traveled to Pinehurst for a work function and had the chance to stay in The Carolina Inn. Overall easy and great experience. They have all of the charm from former golf tourney and keep this resort in great shape. The food was excellent as well as the beers served in the Ryder Cup Bar.

The Carolina is a beautiful historic Inn. Feels very Southern from the moment you pull up. Our first afternoon there we just sat in the rocking chairs on the porch talking and people watching and enjoying the place. It just felt like you should sit and drink sweet tea all day! We had dinner at the restaurant at the Holly... More

It was so wonderful. Everyone was so lovely to us. We went for a Thanksgiving vacation. My Dad has had several strokes and is in a wheelchair. The handi-capped room and the resort were perfect for him. He really got back to normal living and I think regained confidence because he was able to have a vacation in a hotel... More

I have stayed at this property several times now. This time, we planned to stay just 2 nights, but just kept extending until we finally left after 7. The rooms have great views. The restaurants are cozy and take you back in time. We love having a drink sitting on a rocker on the front porch. It is such a... More

Stayed at the Carolina for a business conference and because of a canceled flight I arrived very late but was overjoyed when my room was upgraded to a suite. The breakfast buffet is outstanding. Great destination for golfers. A must on your bucket list.

Let me say that the resort, the clubhouse, the grounds, the atmosphere, etc. of Pinehurst are amazing. HOWEVER, we played Pinehurst No. 1 this weekend at a cost of $109/person. We assumed, incorrectly, that the course would be in good condition given the price and the association with the Pinehurst name. Although the greens were in very good condition, the... More

I was attending a work related seminar at the Pinehurst resort and found the accommodations less than first class. They have multiple buildings to house their guests and I was assigned to “the Manor”. My room was a suite with a weird layout, two small bedrooms separated by a hall with the adjacent bedroom. There were two noisy air conditioners... More

A step back in time, yet up to date-never ending breakfast buffet every thing from a to z--inspeccable service staff-has many dinning rooms-and the site of more championships than any golf resort. Pro shop, spa newsstand, shops, view out of site. Love my stay at Pinehurst.
