Hotel

The Holly Inn is a Four-Diamond hotel and part of the famous Village of Pinehurst golf resort.

Pinehurst is a golfing mecca of eight championship courses, including the legendary US Open venue No. 2. Away from the golf course, Pinehurst offers bike trails, boat rides and even horse-drawn carriage rides through the historic village, all helping to capture the feel and atmosphere of a bygone era. Many period features have also been retained at the Holly Inn to give it an authentic sense of Southern grandeur.

Guests of the Holly Inn have access to Pinehurst’s 31,000sq ft Spa and Fitness centre – just a short walk away. The Holly Inn also has its own quiet enclave pool on site, with guest access to the Pinehurst Resort main pool at the Carolina Hotel.

The Holly Inn has 82 guest rooms including suites and a Bi-level Honeymoon Suite in period décor. It is also home to the 1895 Grille – a Four-Diamond restaurant serving Southern-influenced cuisine where presidents have dined.

The beauty of Pinehurst is its slow and easy pace of life, the vibrant and welcoming bars, southern hospitality and cuisine, and, of course, great golf all within a most endearing woodland countryside.

Pinehurst No. 4

Par: 72 Length: 7117 yards Course designer: Tom Fazio

Pinehurst No. 4 was renovated by Tom Fazio and reopened in 2000. The greens are modern in design and there are over 140 pot bunkers to avoid from the tee and on approaches. The course offers some of the best scenery at Pinehurst.

Pinehurst No. 7

Par: 72 Length: 7216 yards Course designer: Rees Jones

Located a mile away from the Main Clubhouse, Pinehurst No. 7 was renovated in 2003. Located on some of the most rugged land around the Village of Pinehurst, the course has a mountainous feel. Designed by Rees Jones, noted for large undulating greens and spectacular scenery across the North Carolina countryside.

Pinehurst No. 9

Par: 72 Length: 7112 yards Course designer: Jack Nicklaus

Pinehurst No. 9 is a magnificent course and is as meticulously designed as it is compelling. An intriguingly well-balanced course which, according to Golf Digest, “has come to enhance even the lofty Sandhills image for world-class golf amenities.” Jack Nicklaus constructed a masterpiece set amidst the long leaf pines. This championship layout features classic Nicklaus architecture: wide fairways, lush course conditions and undulating putting surfaces that test your mind and your true golfing ability. Each hole has been customized to create a great diversity in the way it can be played. Added to this uniqueness are tall pines, grassy swales, groomed waste areas and a natural variety of lakes and stream beds beautifully fashioned to give No. 9 its own distinctive look.

Pinehurst No. 2

Par: 72 Length: 7335 yards Course designer: Donald Ross Venue: US Open

Pinehurst No. 2 is one of the most famous courses in the world and a regular host of the US Open. It was the scene of Michael Campbell’s 2005 triumph and the late Payne Stewart won here famously in 1999. It will again host the US Open in 2014. The raised greens and their run-off areas are the main feature on this Donald Ross-designed course. Change in elevation is also a key factor on this course with penal bunkers and pine trees giving the golfer a serious test.

Pinehurst No. 8

Par: 72 Length: 7092 yards

Located around two miles from the main clubhouse, Pinehurst No.8 features raised greens with false fronts, dips, swales and run offs similar to No.2. Pinehurst No. 8 is an easy course to walk, with the greens and following tee boxes near together.

Pinehurst No. 5

Par: 72 Length: 6848 yards

The No.5 Course has more water hazards to negotiate than any other course at Pinehurst. The layout also features variety - uphill and downhill, left-to-right and right-to-left, long and short par fours. Overall, it is a very playable, enjoyable 18 holes.
