Pinehurst Resort was originally established in 1895 by James Walker Tufts as a health retreat. The towering pines and mild southern breezes were thought to have medicinal effects. The firm of Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape designer acclaimed for creating New York City's Central Park, prepared the physical plan for Pinehurst.
**NOTE: The Manor Inn is closed for renovation from Dec 1, 2018 until June 2019.
