Visited The Carolina as part of a group of about 175 playing golf for two days. The organization of the golf was superb as were the courses - immaculately groomed and maintained. Personnel very gracious and welcoming. The Carolina is a lovely old hotel that is well maintained and comfortable - lots of golf history displayed. Beautiful porch with rocking... More

Pinehurst has great golf and the courses are HIGHLY recommended, but DO NOT stay at the Carolina Hotel! It looks great from the outside and there's a good porch bar, but the rooms are out of the 1920's (what a gross bathroom I had!), there's no coffee machine or even coffee available before 6am, the "free" internet service was virtually...

I went with a large group just before Memorial Day. Service was excellent. Never had to wait for a shuttle, wonderful buffet, good bar service, etc. The rooms had a very nice bathroom and were comfortable. We played #1,5, and 6. #2 was closed. Our clubs were left at the clubhouse and at the right course, on the correct cart.... More

Me and fiancée stayed here for my best friend's wedding. The grounds and hotel are immaculate. The staff and service always pleasant and helpful. We were extremely pleased with our stay.

Was here last week (mid May) and had a great experience. Clean, large, well appointed room. Recently updated bathroom. At breakfast and dinner at hotel every night. Breakfast buffet was extensive - eggs, meats, omelets, fruits, breads, etc. Dinner was surprisingly good since made for a group. Play #1, #2, #4 and #8. #1's greens were pretty rough but it... More

Very nice place! Altho economics and cutbacks have made it less than top notch! Used to be a CCA employee and well trained in the R. Dedman philosophy of "Warm welcome, memorable experience, and fond farewell" to all guests. Didn't see too much of this to my surprise especially at such a top rated resort.

We organized an International golf competition within our Firm - two dozen golfers from the USA and all around the Globe arrived at Pinehurst in May 2012. We stayed in the Villas, the Carolina Hotel and the Holly Inn. For most of the group, it was the first visit. But it will not be the last. Here are a few... More

This hotel exceeded our expectations. Service was super. Staff were pleasant and efficient. We loved the beach club. Our teenagers ahd fun on the water and really enjoyed the paddle boats. The beach area was clean and well maintained. Rooms had a lot of southern charm. Our only complaint is that the food was nothing spectacular but was at a... More

I cannot think of any serious golf fan who has not visited or contemplated visiting this wonderful golf resort which will host the 2014 US Opens for both the men and the women on consecutive weeks, the first time this has ever happened on the same course in the same year. The Carolina Hotel is literally a national landmark hotel... More

The golf was good. Well maintained challenging courses, at least the premium ones 2,4,7,8. The breakfasts were good, typical buffet style with all the usual suspects. The dinners on the other hand were disappointing. Steaks were poorly cooked and luke warm. The fish was bland. Don't stay in the villas! Fairly spacious but way outdated. Worn carpets, tube tv's and... More
