Stay And Play At U.S. Opens

It’s estimated that North Carolina’s Pinehurst area will host approximately 400,000 visitors during the 2014 U.S. Men’s and Women’s Open Championships, prompting the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) to come up with several new features to assist spectators, volunteers and others with lodging and golf during these special two weeks in June.

In partnership with the Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area Association of Realtors, the MLS can now provide information to those seeking lodging in private homes during the Opens. A link to the tool can be found on the CVB’s web site at http://webhosts.ihouseelite.com/AR472168/Home/index . Surrounding counties also have their available lodging options posted on the web site.

And for those who want to play a round or two, local golf courses are taking tee times and agents with clients planning to attend can plan their schedule at http://www.homeofgolf.com/2014-us-open/tee-times-during-the-2014-us-open .
