Southern Pines

Few cities in North Carolina have a history as closely tied to golf as Southern Pines. Set in the state’s Sandhills, the town grew after its 1884 founding as a winter-resort community, drawing visitors to dry, pine-covered terrain reached by rail. Longleaf pines and sandy soils define the landscape around town, while the neighboring Pinehurst area has made Moore County an internationally known golf destination. Downtown Southern Pines combines early-20th-century commercial buildings with independent shops and restaurants. Weymouth Center for the Arts & Humanities, the former home of novelist James Boyd, is a key local cultural institution.
