Pinehurst is an elegant village located in Moore County west of Fayetteville, in what is considered one of the great golf centers of the world. Donald Ross, one of America’s great golf architects, designed one of the first golf courses in Pinehurst. He went on to design seven courses in the area, and today there are over 40 great Pinehurst golf courses. Hall of Fame sports columnist, Ron Green captures the Pinehurst experience this way: “there’s a special beauty to the place. An elegance and a peace…And there’s a spirit there that I’ve only felt one other place – when I was at St. Andrews in Scotland.” There is, of course, much more to Pinehurst than golf. You will find quiet country lanes, friendly people in an area with a profound appreciation of history, nature and arts. There are equestrian events, polo and harness racing, tennis, swimming and other water sports. Pinehurst has shopping, fine restaurants, world-renowned resorts, and a regular calendar of events such as car shows, home and garden shows and musical concerts. In Pinehurst, you will find a unique blend of southern country charm and first class amenities. The cities of Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham and Wilmington are just a short drive from Pinehurst.

Pinehurst Weather & Climate

The Piedmont Plateau in central North Carolina has become popular with retirees looking for a moderate climate. The region is protected by the western mountain ranges in winter, so the cold, snowy conditions of the mountainous ski resorts is less common here in the warmer east. Summer weather is the least variable and the most predictable %u2013 often with very calm conditions. Wind speeds are also much lower in summer than in winter. Intense, short-lived local showers are often common on a summer afternoon, although occasionally there are more widespread, gentle rain showers. Autumn is the driest season. Average humidity does not vary greatly from season to season, and the lowest levels are found over the southern Piedmont region. Tropical hurricanes come close enough to North Carolina to influence the weather about twice in an average year.
