I’ve never had trouble finding playing partners at Pinehurst! The community is so welcoming, and there’s always someone looking to play.

It can vary, but generally, many members are eager to play! Plus, joining groups or leagues offered at Pinehurst can make it easier.

I appreciate the insight! Just wondering if there’s any age gap among the members?

avilajeffrey · December 27, 2015, 5:15am

There’s a great mix! You’ll see young professionals, retirees, and everyone in between. It makes for a dynamic social scene.

So, it sounds like fun, but are there any downsides to being a member? I can imagine some people might not fit in.

I’ve been a Pinehurst member for three years now, and honestly, it’s been a fantastic investment. The access to all the courses and exclusive events makes it worthwhile.

That sounds promising! What specific events have you enjoyed the most?

I’ve been considering a membership too. The courses at Pinehurst are highly praised, but I’m curious about the overall community vibe. Any insights?

The community is very welcoming, and I love the connection with other members. It really enhances the experience. Plus, I’ve made some great golfing friends!

I was a member for five years but left last season. While I enjoyed the courses, I felt the fees kept rising without enough new perks. Just something to think about.

jorgeperez · January 20, 2016, 5:38am

That’s quite concerning. Did you feel the value decreased over time?

alexandra63 · January 23, 2016, 5:14am

Absolutely! I felt like the membership perks didn’t quite match the increasing costs. It was a tough decision to leave, but I’m happier now playing elsewhere.

I find that a lot of people have mixed feelings. Some love it, while others feel it’s just too pricey. How does it compare to other clubs, in your opinion?

katie46 · January 25, 2016, 5:37am

Comparatively, Pinehurst has a lot to offer, especially for serious golfers. Just make sure the commitment fits your lifestyle. That’s key!

I joined mainly for the legendary courses but ended up loving the family-friendly environment too. My kids are hooked on golf now!

michele53 · February 1, 2016, 5:46am

That’s a great bonus! Encouraging family involvement is a huge plus for any membership.

I was very indecisive before joining. But now that I’m in, I wonder how I ever hesitated! Playing at historic courses is truly an experience.
