PINEHURST, NORTH CAROLINA: Last year, just before the U.S. Open, the USGA cut the ribbon on Golf House Pinehurst—home to the World Golf Hall of Fame and interactive museum. It wasn’t just a milestone. It was a declaration: Pinehurst is the Home of American Golf. That came as no surprise to those who’ve made the pilgrimage to this golf mecca. But lately, a growing number of visitors are doing more than playing a few rounds. They’re staying. Buying. Settling in for good.
