On February 12, 1910, Pinehurst, North Carolina hosted the Sixth Annual St. Valentine’s Golf Tournament, a prestigious amateur event that drew top players from across the country. This tournament was part of Pinehurst’s early legacy as a hub for elite amateur golf, long before it became a regular host of major championships like the U.S. Open.
The Magnolia Inn in Pinehurst, NC, has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1896. It is the second-oldest hotel in the Village of Pinehurst, trailing only the Holly Inn, which opened in 1895. The Magnolia Inn has been a significant part of Pinehurst's history, serving as a gateway to the Village and providing a unique and charming experience for guests.
The history of Pinehurst Hotel in Pinehurst, NC, is deeply intertwined with the development of the resort and the sport of golf. Founded by James Walker Tufts in 1895, the resort was initially developed as a health resort for tuberculosis patients. However, after learning that tuberculosis was contagious, Tufts transformed the resort into a leisure destination. The resort's first hotel, the Holly Inn, opened in 1895, and the Carolina Hotel, which opened in 1901, was the largest frame hotel in North Carolina at the time. The hotel featured modern amenities such as electric lights, elevators, and telephones in each room. The resort's golf program was overseen by Donald J. Ross, who designed many of the world's championship courses.
