Great golf course, and I got goose bumps thinking about everyone who had walked those fairways before me. There is a very nice wine shop in Southern Pines, about five minutes away. Our days consisted of breakfast together, then the girls went to the spa and the guys to the course. We ate lunch whereever, then met again in the afternoon for relaxation in the rockers on the front porch of the Carolina ( usually with wine). Then walked to dinner, and repeat the porch. Next day, do it again. What a great week! Didn't even use my car after I went to the wine shop, the village shuttles take you whever you need to go, and they will even pick you up in Raleigh at the airport. Hope you have as good a time as we did.
BTW - you will not lose a ball on #2, but you may not like where you find it!

Awesome! sounds like its going to be a epic place. I am staying at the Holly so ill make sure to eat at the restaurant a few times while I'm there. Great to hear there is a village shuttle, I also am sure BMW will have cars and or drivers for us when we are there but good to know the shuttle option is there as well.
I was thinking the same thing about the who's who when I play #2. ITs def going to be a very special moment for me and I plan to try and take it in as much as I can when Im there.
