Pinewild Country Club
Pinewild Country Club of Pinehurst boasts forty eight holes of golf, four Har-Tru tennis courts, and a gracious swimming complex. The two championship golf courses, namely the Magnolia and the Holly are both stunning, and challenging to golfers of all skill levels.
The Magnolia, a 'traditional masterpiece', was designed by Gene Hamm, and has played host to the PGA Tour Qualifying School, the LPGA’s Pinewild Championship in 1995, as well US Open Qualifying.
The Holly, a Gary Player Signature Course, is fast becoming an area favorite, due to its panoramic beauty, 'risk reward' layout, and some of the best greens in the Sandhills. The Holly has played host to many USGA Qualifying events, as well as Carolinas PGA Championships. Whatever your choice of course, you are sure to enjoy the Bermuda grass blanketing the fairways, and velvet bent grass greens.
The Azalea course is a nine-hole par 3 course, which includes some of the more scenic holes on property. The remaining holes consist of three practice holes, which make up part of the world-class practice facility. Included in the practice facility are two large putting greens, a chipping green, a short-game complex and a magnificent range with greenside and fairway bunkers.

Every day was lots of work, but very rewarding and fun.
This camp focused on improving all aspects of the golf game while making lifelong friends along the way. Short game was the biggest problem coming in to the camp, and also the area the most improvement came out of. Every day was lots of work, but very rewarding and fun.

Timmy had the BEST time at camp
Timmy had the BEST time at camp. When I picked him up, the first thing he said was "I can't wait to go back next year" and started texting his other golf friends about how great the camp was so they can join him next time. The instruction was fantastic, it was well run and very organized. The kids all had so much fun!
