1.5 hrs from my house i guess i take them for granted.pinehurst resort is AMAZING. we drove past it once when i was traveling through NC. i want to there sooooo badly.
We only go to Cary of those 3 for dinner/shopping/etc. Chapel Hill is basically a college town (UNC) and I'm just out of that phase of life. I'm only in Durham for work or one of the kid's sporting events. Otherwise, we never go there. There is a really nice mall area called Southpointe that is off I-40 just east of the 15/501 intersection you should check out if you're not just playing golf or have wife/kids with you. Lots of stores and restaurants.The other is next to Hendersonville (between Mountain Home and Hendersonville) about 30 minutes south of the Asheville and Lake Lure area. I see the one you are talking about, and assumed that was what you meant.
edit 1 - BTW, being that you live around there, what is Durham like compared to Chapel Hill or Cary (or even Raleigh). Will likely check out Pinehurst the next time out, but between Chapel Hill, Cary or Durham would you avoid Durham or Cary over Chapel Hill or are they all kinda the same atmosphere?
Thanks for the info. My wife and I are pretty much golfers first and nothing second. No kids, she actually hates shopping only maybe more than kids if you want to flip a coin.We only go to Cary of those 3 for dinner/shopping/etc. Chapel Hill is basically a college town (UNC) and I'm just out of that phase of life.

You really should go to Pinehurst and stay at one of the inn's in the village, then. Play during the day, go back and shower, then walk to dinner/drinks/dancing, then walk home for dessert!!Thanks for the info. My wife and I are pretty much golfers first and nothing second.

So drinks, dining and golf may sum it up!!!
