OFF THE COURSE
ACTIVITIES & ATTRACTIONS 

There's a lot more to the Pinehurst-Aberdeen- Southern Pines area than just Great Golf. Whether you're a frequent visitor, a first-timer, or a longtime resident, the area has a great mix of activities and attractions to entertain and enlighten both golfers and non-golfers. Take a walking tour of the quaint Village of Pinehurst and the Southern Pines Historic District. Visit the area's museums, take a guided tour at the Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve, and an old-timey carriage ride. Shop for antiques and unique gifts in the many quaint shops of the area. And do schedule one afternoon away from the course to visit the pottery district in the Robbins and Seagrove area where more than 80 area families produce some of the finest pottery in the U.S. Children will enjoy the miniature horses at Sandhills Farm, and the National Railroad Museum. And the natural habitat zoo at Asheboro, a few miles north, ranks among the top five in North America. The club scene cannot match that of large cities, but there are several  in the area that cater to golfers. Golf may be number one on your Pinehurst- area vacation agenda, but plan to take a little time to savor the history and charm of the area, too.
