Hi Steve,

I live in Pinehurst. The advantage of buying a home in Pinehurst is of course the Pinehurst membership. You have to own property to be a member. The properties may or may not have a membership when on the market. properties with membership have a transfer fee. Properties without membership a buyer buys the membership. Homes in other areas can be somewhat cheaper and there are a lot of golf communites in the area. Each community has their own membership (many optional memberships) and many of the courses are semi-private - in other words you can play even if not a member.

Glad to help, let me know if you have any more questions about Pinehurst. Yeah, Moore Regional doesn't have a lot of job openings right now compared a couple of years ago. There have been lay-offs over there for a lot of departments.
