Best Twilight Golf in Pinehurst

By Steve Silverman

Pinehurst is one of the great golf destinations in the United States. Many times, golfers who travel there will try to play as much golf as possible. For some, that could mean playing as many as three rounds a day. After an early-morning round and an afternoon round, you may want to play a third round at twilight. You have several options.

Pinehurst Resort

Pinehurst Resort is the area's signature golf centerpiece. There are five courses to choose from that include some of the most beautiful courses in the world. If you get a chance, you should play Pinehurst No. 2, which is one of the most challenging courses in the country.
