Your Historic Golf Getaway in Pinehurst
Pine Crest Inn has been a cornerstone of hospitality in Pinehurst, North Carolina since 1913. Originally built by hotelier E.C. Bliss, our historic property became a gathering place for golf legends and travelers seeking Southern charm. Under the ownership of Donald Ross, the father of modern golf course architecture, we solidified our reputation as the 'Home of American Golf.' Today, operated by the Barrett family, we combine century-old traditions with modern comforts. Our guests enjoy meticulously maintained accommodations, award-winning dining at Mr. B's Pub, and exclusive access to 42+ area golf courses. Centrally located between major North Carolina cities, we serve both leisure travelers and business groups seeking a unique blend of history and functionality.With 50 employees serving 7,500+ annual guests, we maintain the personalized service that defined our early years. Our memorabilia-filled halls have welcomed icons like Arnold Palmer and Payne Stewart, while our fireplace chipping board remains a beloved tradition. From Sunday breakfast buffets to corporate retreats, we create memorable experiences rooted in Southern hospitality. As we approach our 110th anniversary, we continue Mrs. Bliss' vision of 'The Inn Like A Home' while embracing modern comforts.
