Pinehurst: The Home of American Golf

Championship history, the USGA's second home, the World Golf Hall of Fame, and a club with nine courses. Here's what golfers moving to Moore County should know.

The U.S. Open's first anchor site

In 2020 the USGA named Pinehurst Resort & Country Club its first U.S. Open anchor site. Pinehurst No. 2 hosted in 2024 and is scheduled to host again in 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047 — a return roughly every five to six years. Each championship brings worldwide attention and visitors to the area.

USGA Golf House & the World Golf Hall of Fame

The USGA built its second home right in the village of Pinehurst. The campus now holds the World Golf Hall of Fame too — a new reason golf fans visit, and a new source of jobs and activity in Moore County.

USGA Golf House Pinehurst

The USGA's second headquarters, with its Equipment Test Center, innovation hub, offices, and the USGA Experience museum — all on one campus in the village.

World Golf Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame now sits on the same Golf House Pinehurst campus, bringing golf's greatest stories and inductees to Pinehurst.

How to join

  • Membership is by invitation. Buying a home with an existing transferable membership is the most direct path in.
  • New owners of a property with a transferable membership may qualify for a reduced initiation fee — ask before you write an offer.
  • Without a transferable property, a current member can sponsor you, or the Club's membership office can help arrange a tour and sponsor.
