We are situated in a rural area with easy access by car to local small towns. One of these is the village of Pinehurst which is quintessentially American, planned by Frederick Olmsted who designed Central Park New York. It is built around the famous Pinehurst Golf Resort home of many international golf tournaments. Some of the small towns have been there from 18th century and have interesting historic areas.

There are 40 excellent golf courses within a 15 mile radius and most of these are accessible to green fee payers and it is possible to buy a senior citizens pass which provides discounts on the green fees.

This is also “horse country” with many horse farms, polo fields and harness tracks. Locally there is an international 3 day event course designed by Capt. Mark Phillips.

For those who like walking there are many large parks and trails through the long leaf pine forests.
