An additional note: This will be the perfect conference to bring your +1. The conference rates for lodging are good for the three days before and the three days after the conference; however, if you wish to stay any additional nights beyond the official conference dates, you will need to call to make those arrangements rather than use the link. Be sure to note that you are part of the SCSECS conference if you reserve through the telephone.
 The Carolina Hotel For over a century, the "Queen of the South" has welcomed guests to Pinehurst. Come stroll across the hotel's spacious verandas and into one of 230 Four-Diamond rooms and suites which, along with its grand lobby, have been newly renovated. The Carolina Dining Room, home to the best breakfast in golf, continues to tempt the palate of every guest, while the new Coffee House located in the lobby serves up quick bites and freshly brewed java. This cornerstone of Pinehurst also offers a heated pool complex, putting green on its West Lawn and two retail outlets for your shopping needs. |
 The Holly Inn Pinehurst's very first hotel, The Holly Inn has welcomed guests since 1895. It is situated in the heart of the Village, offering easy access to everything just steps from its iconic striped entrance. The architecture here is part Queen Anne revival and part Arts & Crafts, but the overall effect is pure Pinehurst. Fine touches adorn every guest room, from the Tiffany lamps illuminating the space to the antique bar that once dwelled in Scotland but now welcomes thirsty patrons in our Tavern. You can also visit the pool for a more intimate, quiet space for sunning and relaxing. This truly unique property has engendered much affection over its century-plus lifespan, and we're sure you'll love it as well. |
 The Manor Inn A year-long renovation completed in 2019 has transformed the historic Manor, originally opened in 1923, into a contemporary hotel wrapped in classic charm. Beyond the communal lobby lie well-appointed guest rooms waiting to immerse guests in comfort, as well as two private hospitality suites that can be reserved for golf groups of up to 20 and make an ideal place to celebrate a successful round on one of our courses. The North & South Bar offers a wide selection of fine whiskeys and cocktails, while just outside, Pinehurst Brewing Co. pours craft beer brewed on site. The Village of Pinehurst is also just a short walk away, making The Manor as convenient as it is memorable. |
