One of the Peidmonts most loved attractions is it's golf courses.North Carolina has a variety of golf courses other countries would be envious of. Our more-than 600 courses wind their way across some of the most picturesque landscapes in the world. It's no wonder that Pinehurst Resort tops Travel + Leisure Golf's list of World's Best Golf Resorts, and that Golf Digest selected the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area of North Carolina as one of the top three golfing destinations in the world! This is a place where legends come to design courses that will crown their careers. Donald Ross, Ellis Maples, Rees Jones, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus have all worked their magic here, creating some of the most outstanding golf courses in the country. It’s a locale steeped in the history of the sport — the place where the first driving range opened for business. Even mini golf got its start here. No wonder golf aficionados consider the area The Home of American Golf. And, keeping with tradition, the 2005 U.S. Open Championship was held at Pinehurst Resort on Pinehurst No. 2 to rave reviews. In 2007, the U.S. Women's Open Championship will return to Pine Needles for the third time. Now is a great time to visit and enjoy NC golf.



Another great attraction,especially for the kids, is Paramount's Carowinds.Carowinds, with its exciting water parks, thrilling rides, and hilarious cartoon characters, is the perfect spot to take your family for a great time. With over 30 restuarants and snack stands you can have a whole days worth of fun! They have something for everyone including a splash pad and a wave pool.If you dont know where else in NC to go Carowinds is definately the place.
