LAST CALL EDIT: We currently have six people on our trip, so we are scheduled as threesomes with morning/afternoon rounds. If any of the Pinehurst-area locals would like to join us for some miscellaneous rounds, we would love to meet any GCAers. I can't guarantee that the courses haven't filled our 4th spots, but if you're interested, I can send you specific tee times for Monday-Wednesday and will call the courses.
As for Thursday / Friday, the "Mystery Course" is not in the Pinehurst Area, but is definitely worth a trip to see. if you may be interested in joining us for that leg of the trip, send me a PM, and I can give you more information.
****************
EDIT: 1/2 Trip Option From the preliminary feedback I've received, I understand that it is difficult for many to get away for an entire week. As a result, I am open to having people join us for only a portion of the trip (i.e. either the Sunday-Wednesday Pinehurst portion or the "Mystery Course" portion of the trip on Thursday / Friday).
Please let me know if you may be interested in this alternative, as I realize a number of you have expressed a desire, but that the entire week is too much of a commitment.

Gentlemen,
I've organized a small trip to the Pinehurst area in mid-April. Right now, the trip includes Chris DeNigris, myself and some other Buffalo area friends (total of 5 right now). However, we'd like to add one or two more guys, and have a week planned that we think may entice a few takers. We have a four-bedroom house rented in Pinehurst, so we can easily fit some extras.
Given the almost universal approval of GCAer character in some other threads, we're comfortable with extending this to the GCA community. The agenda is:
Sunday, April 15th - Buffalo guys will be driving all day, so will likely miss golf. However, Chris DeNigris and people living closer will likely play Tot Hill Farm that afternoon.
Monday - 36 Holes at Tobacco Road
Tuesday - 36 Holes at Southern Pines. One of the 18s may be played with Hickory, as a few of us bought some Hickories over the winter (but not mandatory).
Wednesday - 36 Holes at Dormie Club
Thursday/Friday - Mystery Course that is very worthwhile (I can explain the mystery offline).
If you may be interested or available, send me a PM and I can send you some additional details and pricing.
