Pinehurst Country Club Member Golf Championships

This past weekend was the member open golf tournament at Pinehurst and the final round was on course No. 2.

Golf Tournament in Pinehurst on No. 2Though it was cloudy on the final round of the Pinehurst Country Club's golf tournament for the members it was still a success and the temps were a comfortable 65-70 degrees. Cool for this time of year though not a deterrent to the players or the staff running the tournament.

Each year Pinehurst holds an open tournament to all of it's members for both the men and the women. There were three divisions for each. The open division was for anyone who wanted to enter and then there was a senior and super senior division for both them men and the women that had age restrictions but there was no discrimination for handicap in any group.

I took a short video as the first groups were finishing up their rounds. You can check that out on my YouTube channel. I also post videos of the area golf courses as well as area events, homes for sale and the various Pinehurst area communities.

As a Pinehurst Country Club member you get access to golf courses 1 - 6 including No. 2 as well as several clay tennis courts, pools and Lake Pinehurst. You can also participate in the many activities the club offers including the annual Pinehurst Country Club Member Club Golf Championships.

You Live in Pinehurst so Why Write about Horses and Equestrian Events

Pinehurst is surely known for its rich golfing culture - but there is also an abundant population of horse owners and equestrian events in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines Area.

Horse in PinehurstPinehurst has a harness track that is used for training harness race horses in the winter and is also used for a variety of equestrian events such as hunter-jumper shows and dressage shows. There are also a few horse farms in Pinehurst off of Linden Rd just a few minutes from the Village.

Around Pinehurst in other communities there are many horse farms. Southern Pines has a well known area called Horse Country and it is partly due to the Walthour Moss foundation which is a charitable trust that holds many acres of land to preserve the environment and provide a place for equestrian activities. It is currently over 4,000 acres with many trails and has the potential to grow in the future. Some of the equestrian activities in Southern Pines include trail riding on the foundation and fox hunts in the winter (to my knowledge no fox is usually caught!).

In other areas around Pinehurst there are some communities specifically developed for horse farms. These include the gated community of McLendon Hills, Grande Pines, Reynwood and Morganwood. These communities have available horse farms and lots that are available to build your own custom farm.

I decided to write this blog after a colleague of mine asked me why I mention horses in some of my blogs and tweets. I didn't get a chance to explain to him that Pinehurst isn't just for golfers and that we have a rich equestrian community in the area.
