Moore County’s sandy soil has long been a powerful draw for horse enthusiasts. From steeplechases to dressage, there are all kinds of events to keep spectators busy. And for those not content to let others have all the fun, there are plenty of places to get out and gallop. A few of our larger attractions include the McLendon Hills Equestrian Center, and the 4,000-acre Walthour-Moss Foundation land preserve.
As the Home of American golf, you should expect Moore County to offer access to some incredible courses—and that’s definitely the case. Having hosted several US Open Golf Championships, most anyone with a set of clubs knows we’re home to the world-famous Pinehurst Resort with eight outstanding options for all skill levels. But in addition, Moore County has 30 other incredible courses that keep residents guessing and visitors coming back.
With a name like the Sandhills, you might not expect to find many lakes, maybe not even any lakes. But as with many things, Moore County is a bit unexpected. For water lovers like fisherman, kayakers, wake boarders and sunbathers, there are dozens of lakes with an incredible range of shapes and sizes. Not all allow powerboats, but that’s actually a really good thing!
