- Bags & entry

- Parking

Need to Know

- A Pinehurst No. 2 round when the resort stay, tee time, caddie or cart choice, golf bag, clubhouse route, and on-property transportation are settled before arrival

- Good arrival window
- Pinehurst does not publish one universal arrival buffer for No. 2. Confirm the check-in time attached to the tee time and allow for bag drop and an on-call resort shuttle that averages about 15 minutes after the request, with longer waits possible for groups.
- Main transit note
- Complimentary on-call shuttles connect resort-owned facilities and Pinehurst Village during normal operating hours. Local rideshare is described as extremely limited, so do not make it the only return plan.

Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)Multiple resort landmarks with an on-call internal shuttle
- What to do
- Use the Resort Clubhouse as the No. 2 golf destination rather than a hotel or satellite-course pin. Hotel guests may park by their lodging; when those lots are full, Pinehurst directs guests to the Resort Clubhouse lot and its complimentary shuttle.
- Best option
- The Resort Clubhouse lot is the clearest golf-day fallback, while the Carolina Hotel, Holly Inn, and Manor have adjacent guest lots.
- Avoid
- Do not route to Courses No. 6 through No. 9 by mistake. Pinehurst publishes those as satellite courses, while No. 2 is tied to the main Resort Clubhouse complex.
