US Kids & Teens 2010 World Championship

Pinehurst, NC
Travel Information
Congratulations on being selected to participate in the World Championship in Pinehurst. Hopefully this post and others will help you and your family to enjoy a safe and enjoyable visit. Traveling with athletic children can be challenging in so many ways. I hope that this information makes your trip enjoyable for the entire family.
The US Kids events will take place in The Village of Pinehurst, Carthage and Southern Pines. Within these communities will be the championship golf venues for the World Championships.
Part of the charm of Pinehurst is its remoteness, we are not near any major metropolitan area. Pinehurst is located 1.2 hours south of the Raleigh (RDU) and Greensboro (GSO) airports. Though closer (40 minutes) Fayetteville’s airport offers only limited flights. Charlottes airport (CHO) is approximately 2 1/2 hour drive on a fairly difficult road. I have found RDU to be a fairly competitive airport due to the number of discount airlines. The drive south on US 1 from RDU to Pinehurst is a pleasant drive. Another airport to consider if you are shopping the airlines is Richmond, Va. While the drive is circa 5 hours, this is another airport with very competitive fares. Moore County Airport (SOP) is available for private planes. www.moorecountyairport.com/airport_specifications1.htm for navigation info.
I encourage your to post comments questions regarding the tournament or accommodations. I will respond quickly.
