For over 115 years the North & South Amateur has been contested on the hallowed grounds of Pinehurst. Many of the game’s greatest icons have won at Pinehurst Resort, and in 2014, just one week after Martin Kaymer’s historic victory in the U.S. Open, Michelle Wie captured her first major championship after winning the U.S. Women’s Open on Pinehurst No. 2.

Entrants make their own reservations. Call (844) 281-9289 for more information.
