Looking to do a golf package over Thanksgiving in the Pinehurst, Aberdeen, and Southern Pines area.
Anyone recommend a place down there to do so? This is also in relation to an older thread (http://www.shottalk.com/forum/no-golf-you/21228-carolinas.html) where we are looking at the area to possibly buy a second home. So while we intend to get in around 3 rounds or so of golf over the week, it is not necessarily our primary goal. So staying at Pinehurst resort, while the obvious choice, is not likely one we would choose because of the costs and the fact that we will not likely spend alot of time where we stay. So otherwise we would likely just get a Suite at Hampton or Residence Inn and book our own rounds, unless anyone would recommend something equal or better.
Also if anyone has recommendations on courses to play (up to around $100 or so a round) or areas to look, it would be appreciated.
I figure if we end up getting a place down there, we will have plenty of time to play the course at Pinehurst later on.
BTW, it would be for 2 people, where many times the Golf Packages I have seen are for 4.
Saw one called Talamore that looked interesting, which includes rounds at Talamore, Tobacco Road (one of the courses I was eying), and Mid South. Price looked right, but says it is for 4 and a 2 bedroom, may check if they have availability for 2. Looks like Tobacco Road has similar packages, but not sure of the lodging, looks like it may be at local hotels. Anyone ever play Tobacco Road, listed as not only one of the best courses but toughest in Golf Digest.
