Before I moved to the Pinehurst area, I read an article in which Pinehurst was described as "a quaint New England village set among gardens and surrounded by golf courses". Now that I'm lucky enough to live here, I know how true that is! "Here, the pace slows to allow for all the great and small pleasures of life. There's gracious time for tea time and tee times", according to William Mangum, the famous painter who also fell in love with Pinehurst and has used Pinehurst landmarks as the subject for many of his most famous paintings.

Pinehurst was founded in 1895 by the Tufts family from Boston, hence the wonderful New England style of architecture of which most of the original buildings in Old Town Pinehurst are so proud. My husband and I consider ourselves unbelievably fortunate to own the Casino Building, a historic landmark which was the second building built in Pinehurst in 1896. Coming to work every morning, the sight of this lovely old building with its deep porches and balconies sheltered by majestic old oak trees never fails to lift my heart and spirits.

The Village of Pinehurst's original footprint remains unchanged and many of Mangums's lovely paintings capture the essence of Pinehurst's green spaces, nostalgic shops, winding walkways and world-renowned fairways. The landscape architect responsible for the design of Pinehurst was Frederick Law Olmsted, considered at the time America's first landscape architect. Olmsted designed New York's Central Park, as well as the gardens at Biltmore Estate. Even today, a stroll through the Village of Pinehurst feels like going back in time.

Pinehurst is known as the premiere golf destination on the East Coast offering many beautiful golf courses, including the famous Pinehurst #2 course, home of the 1999 and 2005 US Open Championships. Pinehurst will host the US Open Championship again in 2014. If you're a golfer, Pinehurst is absolute heaven. If you're not a golfer, I think you'll still find it's pretty close!
