When the Norfolk Corporation began commercial sand operations near
Pinehurst, North Carolina in the early 1920's they laid the foundation for a
remarkable undertaking. In the process of excavating sand to be used for such
projects as the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway, they molded and carved
their "sand mine" into a canyon of mounds and pits.
Norwood and Linwood Pleasant took over this site in 1948 and continued
their operations until 1975, after which time the land lay virtually unused.
In 1984, second generation golf cource architect Dan Maples saw in this
property the potential for a truly unusual and spectacular golf course. After
careful planning and design, bulldozers were brought in and the shaggy dunes
were transformed into emerald fairways, and in 1985 this former sand pit
became one of the country's most talked about and challenging golf courses.
