VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, N.C. (November 3, 2008) If you’re looking for winter travel rates packed with value, Pinehurst has released its annual Evergreen offers just in time.
Take a look at hot dates and rates through February 2009, for a little southern comfort:
FOR GOLFERS
Pinehurst’s popular $252 on No. 2 is back for a limited time beginning November 30, 2008. Mild temperatures make for a great round on the famed Pinehurst No. 2 golf course, site of the 2014 U.S. Open, plus overnight accommodations and breakfast starting at $252 per person (based on double occupancy). Select dates are available for this value offering – at less than half its normal high-season rates – from 11/30/08 through 2/26/09.
FOR SPA GOERS
Starting at $229 per person, the Evergreen Escape Spa Package is great for a Girls’ Getaway to wash away winter blues. The package includes one of the resort’s select 50-minute spa treatments, overnight accommodations, a full-day’s access to the spa tranquility areas, buffet breakfast and dinner in any of the resort’s restaurants. Holiday shopping in the Village of Pinehurst is only a walk away (Bring a golfer and switch the treatment for a round of resort golf for the same price).
We suggest you add on the Pumpkin Seed Scrub for a full day of pampering – it’s 25% off the entire month of November as the Spa Treatment of the Month. (December’s is the Holly Berry Back and Foot Treatment).
Evergreen Escape is available 11/9/08 to 2/26/09.
FOR THE FAMILY
Thanksgiving is Pinehurst’s busiest holiday for families – and with good reason. Rates start at only $149 per person and includes accommodations, breakfast and dinner, and kids 17 and under stay and eat free. Pinehurst’s new Executive Chef Thierry Debailleul has created an all-American overflowing dinner buffet that includes such favorites as roasted pumpkin and squash bisque, pure maple-glazed sweet potatoes, southern corn bread and toasted pecan stuffing and unlimited turkey.
The resort kicks off the weekend with a Holiday Pops concert by the North Carolina Symphony on Wednesday night with the resort decorated for the season. It continues with an array of activities for families – from pottery painting to storytelling, flag football o n the Front Lawn, croquet to cookie time and s’mores and stories.
Don’t forget the Holiday Tree Lighting Party in the Village of Pinehurst on December 5. Hayrides, visits with Santa, live music from area choirs and the Sandhills Assembly singers, and hot cider and cookies are all part of this Dickensian gathering every year.
