North Carolina is the spiritual home of American golf, and this trail reflects that depth. Donald Ross lived in Pinehurst for four decades and left 12 courses on the state list. Wade Hampton and Mountaintop anchor the western mountains, while the Sandhills corridor — home to Pinehurst, Pine Needles, Mid Pines, and Tobacco Road — is one of the great golf destinations on earth. Quail Hollow brings PGA Championship pedigree to Charlotte, and Old Town Club quietly stands as one of the finest Donald Ross designs anywhere.
