Food scene
One of the best brew pubs in North Carolina! The beers are delicious and unique. The menu is outstanding, with the ribs and brisket my favorites. (Ribs are smoked on-site and served only on Monday and Tuesday.)
The building is a renovated power plant that previously served the Village. Many elements of the original building and equipment are nicely incorporated.

Best Italian food in town. The pepperoni pizza with hot honey is amazing. Don't forget to order the cannoli for dessert! Also, check out their newly opened market in the theater building for fresh-baked bread and other staples. The market also has sandwiches at lunch for takeout. I highly recommend the chicken cutlet. It was delicious.

Simple, friendly, and good food. The staff is tremendous. It's nothing terribly special in the culinary world. It's just a good place to grab breakfast or lunch. Clean and somewhat small but it's a relaxing atmosphere. The owner is extremely nice and friendly.

This is just a fantastic great restaurant. The food is always excellent. The service is absolutely outstanding. We have never had a bad meal or service in our many years of dining at Ironwood.
Expect to spend about $30 a $50 a person with no wine or $$55 - $75 a person with some wine for an estimate, so it’s more pricey than many places you can go, but you do get what you pay for at Ironwood.
We highly recommend it if you are looking for an all-around excellent experience.

Easy layout to score on, but challenging if your game is a little off.
It's a fair course if you're hitting the ball decent, and aggressive shots can either be rewarded or can totally destroy a round.
Greens have ALWAYS been in excellent condition, and they roll fast and true.
Patty is extremely welcoming, and the grill staff always takes care of the guests.

Great layout and is fun for all skill levels as long as you play the proper tees. The pace of play was great on a busy day. Additionally, the cart paths are in excellent shape and they have a nice clubhouse to stop in after your round. Highly recommend adding this course to your next Pinehurst trip.

The golf course was incredible. One of the best I’ve ever played this year. Greens were pure, fairways were well-manicured and the elevation creates tons of character.
Hospitality was also first class. Oliver at bag drop/starter was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the course.

Built-in 1969, the facilities have had it's up's & downs over the decades. As for now, it's somewhere in the middle. Much improved over it's the lowest point. Courses were well kept even in winter months (pics included). The greens are back to rolling well. Still possible to get $20 rounds here. Pretty tough to find any golf around the area at that price. Worth your consideration if you're looking for affordable golf in the Pinehurst area.

We played Deercroft for the first time last week and it was phenomenal! The hospitality and staff were top notch and the course was a great track for the price. We will be adding this one to our annual rotation. It's worth the drive from the village to check out.

Outstanding golf course with some of the best greens in the Pinehurst area. They have done an outstanding job of renovating the entire experience at Longleaf. I love how they have incorporated the original horse track throughout the course, especially the 17th hole. Bottlebrush, which is their 6-hole short course, is a must-play.
