Activities

Monday 2 p.m.

Par 3 & Putt-Putt Party at "The Cradle" with Adobe

Join the Adobe team for networking and fun with a golf outing for the "not-so-serious" at the amazing Cradle par 3, nine-hole short course and 18-hole putting course! Refreshments of all types will be made available for this fun and exciting afternoon outing at the Main Resort Clubhouse here at Pinehurst.  The Golf Channel calls The Cradle, “the most fun 10 acres in all of golf.” 

Definitely a GREAT way to spend the afternoon with fellow Summit-ers with some Fun in the Sun!

Monday 2 p.m.

Golf at Pinehurst Resort: The Legendary No. 2 or new Classic No. 4

No. 2 - The centerpiece of Pinehurst Resort, this remains one of the world’s most celebrated golf courses. It has served as the site of more single golf championships than any course in America and hosted back-to-back U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open Championships for the first time in 2014. The U.S. Open will return in 2024.

No. 4 - The new "classic" wows with eye candy—much more so than its fabled sibling, No. 2. Vast swaths of native, scrub-dotted sand areas frame and bisect fairways with wider fairways take full advantage of the area's most interesting undulations. A fun layout for every class of player.

Monday 2 p.m.

Brewmaster Tour

With more than 200 craft breweries in the state, local beer is an essential part of any North Carolina visitor’s experience with award-winning breweries such as Southern Pines, Railhouse, and now the Resort's very own Pinehurst Brewery! The Brewmaster’s Tour leads you through the complete brewing process allowing for a unique behind-the-scenes look at the operation of two local craft breweries.  A great way to spend the afternoon with fellow-Summiters, a little education, networking and great craft-beer tasting.  Perfect!

Tuesday 2 p.m.

Golf at Pinehurst Resort: Courses No. 7, 8 or 9

Access to Pinehurst's legendary courses, as a Summit attendee you'll have access to pristine and renowned courses, No. 7, 8 or 9: 

No 7 - The layout unfolds overdramatic, hilly terrain that’s dotted with wetlands in lower-lying areas. No. 7 has many colorful flourishes. Every hole features something to test your game. Just ask Tiger Woods, who won his lone Pinehurst title to date here in the 1992 Big I Junior Classic.

No 8 - Designed by the famous Tom Fazio combines classic Donald Ross concepts with the whimsical snarls that have become Fazio’s calling card. Rolling terrain and natural wetlands create a course that’s visually enthralling and challenging, yet fun to play. The course has twice been home to the PGA Club Pro Championship.

No 9 - Jack Nicklaus constructed a masterpiece set amidst the long leaf pines. Wide fairways, lush course conditions and undulating putting surfaces that test your mind and your true golfing ability. An intriguingly well-balanced course which, according to Golf Digest, “has come to enhance even the lofty Sandhills image for world-class golf amenities."

Tuesday 2 p.m.

Sport Clay Shooting

Join your Summit colleagues with the unique and unforgettable experience of sporting clay shooting. The 50-target course winds through beautiful woodlands and include clay targets that test your skill throughout.  This is a great outing for first-timers or experts, and a fun way to take in the area's beauty while networking with fellow conference-goers.  Always a group favorite outing.

Tuesday 2 p.m.

Pool Outing

Go for a swim or lounge by the pool at the Carolina Hotel and Holly Inn. The Carolina Hotel West Lawn’s expansive area features a large heated pool, kiddie pool, misting pool, fireplace and outdoor whirlpool. You are also welcome to enjoy the putting green, playground and lawn for throwing the football or other activities.

Some say you can feel the spirit of Pinehurst as you turn onto Carolina Vista Drive. Built in 1901 by famed architect and designer Frederick Law Olmsted (Central Park in New York City and the grounds of Biltmore House), the majestic century old Carolina Hotel with its sweeping verandas, makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to an era when elegance defined grand hotels and resorts. Dubbed the “Queen of the South,” The Carolina has 230 Four-Diamond guest rooms including suites.
 
Built in 1895, The Holly Inn was Pinehurst’s first hotel and is located a short walk away in the heart of The Village at Pinehurst. The Four Diamond Holly features 82 guest rooms and suites each as unique as the hotel itself. Every detail has been attended to with fine touches in every nook, from the jewel-toned Tiffany lamps, to the reading selection in the library, and to the comfort of a rocking chair in your guest room.
 
Amenities for both lodges include elegant restaurants, casual lounges and bars, coffee shop, tennis courts, bike rentals, fitness center, luxury spa, airport shuttle, and of course access to 9 different world-class golf courses (with 3 of the 9 ranked in Golfweek’s Top 100 in the US). A world-class tennis, spa, meetings, special events and family resort, where life actually seems to slow down - so you can enjoy every minute of it.
