Golfers Guide

Caddies

We highly encourage guests to utilize a caddie on Pinehurst No. 2 and No. 4, as they are cart path only. Many golfers enjoy forecaddies on other Pinehurst courses, allowing them to ride in a cart still enjoying the normal caddie services.

In an effort to promote pace of play as well as the safety and health of our caddies, golfers should travel with a single strap carry bag weighing less than 24 pounds. If your bag does not meet these requirements, you may be asked to use a provided change-out bag.

Caddie fees are paid upon registration at the golf shop. Rates are as follows:
Double Bag Caddie: $75 per player
Forecaddie: $35 per player
(We recommend a $50 gratuity per bag for walking caddies and $30 per bag for forecaddies.)

Carts & Clubs

Please keep in mind that carts are restricted to paths on course No. 2 and No. 4.

Carts are allowed to ride the fairways of all other courses.

Push carts are available at all courses on a first come first serve basis at each golf course.

You may rent a set of the latest Titleist clubs for $80 per day. Call the main golf shop for information at (910) 235-8141.

Pinehurst has partnered with Ship Sticks to offer our guests a seamless door-to-door shipping service both to and from the resort. All bags will be delivered to The Carolina Hotel and held in storage until your arrival. Visit shipsticks.com/pinehurst-resort.
