In addition to The Carolina, which features 210 comfortable rooms and a lobby filled with golfing memorabilia including old golf clubs and vintage photos of past champions, the resort operates the Holly Inn and the Manor Inn. Built in New England-style architecture with their white wooden frames, these two restored inns have a distinctive early 20th Century feel to them. Only a few blocks from each other, they sit serenely under the pines among the pine straw that carpets the ground and the sand areas of the village.
I stayed at the 85-room Holly Inn in a room that featured a sequence photograph of Donald Ross taken in about 1901. Wearing a woolen suit, the bespectacled Ross is swinging a club. The room had a feel of a room that you would have stayed in when visiting your grandmother years ago. It included modern fixtures and all the latest communications amenities. The Holly Inn also has some of the most succulent cuisine you will ever experience. The 1895 Room is a small, intimate dining room offering world-class food. Years ago, the inn was run down and was once used as a place to store old golf carts. The Pinehurst Company came in and refurbished it to the point where it now is a strikingly attractive cozy place to stay.

The Pinehurst Company's plans for the resort include an enormous spa complex to be located just east of The Carolina. It will include 28 private spa treatment rooms, nine salon stations, a 1,300-square foot fitness studio, an Olympic size indoor swimming pool and sauna, steam and cascade whirlpool facilities.
The Pinehurst Resort is one of five resort properties nationwide owned and operated by The Pinehurst Company, a subsidiary of ClubCorp of America. The Pinehurst Company's other resort properties include The Homestead and Daufuskie Island.
The Pinehurst Company has formed an alliance with Charlotte-based Celebration Associates to develop real estate projects at or near Pinehurst Company resort locations nationwide, modeled after Celebration, the mixed-use, master-planned community near Disney World in Orlando. The first project of the joint venture will be a golf development to be located in Aberdeen within a short distance of the main resort site.
