Pinehurst is a small town close to Southern Pines that is a big golf attraction. We, like many, are here on a golf tournament however while the golfers are out, what do we do??? Southern Pines is a quaint town to walk around in and there is a pottery painting spot that you can stop in and spend a few hours with your children, alone or with friends. It was a great place for us to take our 3 year old son to kill some time and then a few short blocks to a nice park. - great afternoon!
