pinehurst resort has a special going on now from now until 2/28.

for $232 dollars you get:

1 night at the Inn
breakfast
1 round on #2 (host of this years u.s open)


do you think that is a good deal? i'm thinking about it.

the only thing is that they aeriated (spelling) the greens last week and its closed this week so they can repair better.

would you go for this good deal?

p.s- the weather next week is supposed to be around 60 w/ rain possible.

$232 for lodging , a meal and a round on one of the best golf courses on the planet ? I'd jump on it if I could get away. If you decide to go, take some pictures. :nodsmiley

no doubt..but the rain concerns me.

The aerated greens concern me.

The price is excellent, since to play #2 it's usually more than $232, and since they are throwing in the lodging (i am sure their accomodations are very nice), it seems like a good deal. If you are going to enjoy the layout, atmosphere, and just "being there", go for it. If you are someone who really cares about score, the greens may have you frustrated.

yeah the greens thing is concerning but if the weather was going to be clear i wouldnt care about the greens.

i would just hate to go there and get rained on for 18 holes.

but ****...to play there so close to june and be able to watch on TV where i had played would be the coolest.

i mean i used to work at riviera and played there 3 times but nothing would be like pinehurst, IMO besides pebble beach.

It depends on when your planning to go, but if they aerated the greens last week, with a week off to heal plus a couple more days ... they shouldn't be too bad. I'd play #2 in the rain and if your banking on some sort of long range forecast, well you have much more confidence in them than I do. If they're calling for rain tomorrow, don't make any plans... but a week from now ? You may as well flip a coin.

Regarding the aerated greens it might not be that bad. Some course that I have played in the south will add a sand mix to the green after aerating so the holes are filled. The greens will slower but the ball will not be hopping around too much.

well its official......

I'M PLAYING #2 IN 6 DAYS!!!!!


just booked it for my dad and i.

Cool ... have fun ! Don't come back without any pictures.

i need to find a digital camera in the next 5 days.

Good luck with that...either that or you'll need a regular camera and a scanner. Also, good luck with your round, I bet getting to play there will be an absolute thrill.

If I was as lucky as you.......the first thing I'd try to find is my game!

How did you found out about that deal? BTW congrats, I used to live in Pinehurst and it is a great area. Have fun.

too late for that!

my dad and i are going to play the US open tees also. at 7,200 yards and par 70, i doubt i'll break 90. but its all about the good times and i'll be sure to have a good time.


oh and x-14.....

my friend lives in greensboro and they advertised it on the radio all last week.
