Looking to play with THPers while in Raleigh/Pinehurst
Might be a little tight with daylight if the round is slow. I could be interested. Do you know what course?

Not set on anything in particular. Tobacco Road, Mid Pines, Pine Needles, Southern Pines and Mid South were what I was thinking but I’m open to anywhere

Awesome! Any recommendation for courses?
We can carpool
So, you booked your trip. Is this a guys trip and you are thinking of going out with THP'ers for extra rounds or did you happen to do a stay-and-play somewhere (Pinehurst resort or elsewhere)?
Just trying to get an idea of what all you are planning while here.
I am a member at Pinehurst and as such, I have not played many of the surrounding courses (since my membership gives me plenty of options for play). I do have that Friday off from work and could possibly join you or try to help book a course at Pinehurst (2, 4 and 8 are always hard to get onto as a member).
Also, I did help create a Google Doc for those who are planning to visit if it helps at all:

I'm local so my suggestion would be for you to play the course you are most wanting to play. I am an hour away in Holly Springs and will throw my course as an option, though I'm guess you are wanting to play one of the courses in Pinehurst/Southern Pines.

Im open to your course on that Friday as it might be easiest with the time my flight gets in. Either that or Tobacco Road if others want to join that would be coming from Charlotte.So, you booked your trip.

As for Saturday, I’m open to other suggestions. One of the other Pinehurst courses (possibly 3) could work well since it’s near No.4. Mid Pines or Pine Needles would work too.
Thoughts?
Pinehurst courses 1-5 are all based at the main clubhouse. 6, 7, 8, 9 and soon 10 are all "off campus" as my wife likes to say.
#3 is a fun course and can play as tough as #2 on some days. #1 is a gentle introduction to Pinehurst and Donald Ross design.

I'm happy to do either one. Will do whatever everyone wants to do. Open to anything. Just checked: Tobacco Road is about $110 for the 9th. Last tee time they have available is. Our winter rates our $70.

Okay, I could probably make the 12:36 time at Tobacco Road.
@pumbaa @e1iterate @outlawx and @SVonhof what days would you guys be interested in playing? I think we have it narrowed down 12 oaks, Tobacco Road and another Pinehurst course
I would be down for playing TR (if there is space), as I have not played there yet. I know it gets up well over $200 in the summer months.
When we get closer, I can see if I can book one of the Pinehurst courses (I cannot book this far out) for Saturday.

Okay, TR it is. My flight lands at about 10:15 so I should be able to make the 12:36 tee time though I’ll be coming in hot.
@pumbaa @Jeff Spicoli @outlawx and @e1iterate let me know if you’re good with that and I will make the tee time
No rush as there’s still plenty of time
Just to confirm, this is for 2/9?

2/9 for TR. another round could be played on 2/10 as well
Works for me and @SVonhof would like to join as well.
3 is the shortest punch in the mouth you will ever play for 18 holes. My God is that a fun course.

That’s what I’ve heard! I’d love to play it if the time works out
Should be a sub 3hr round in theory
This will be 3 times I've played TR and it's going to kick my head in again
