Where to watch the Masters at Pinehurst Resort

HokieGolf12 · February 28

Due to another trip getting canceled I booked a last minute trip to Pinehurst for my dad and I. We arrive the night of April 13th. On Masters Sunday we play No 3 in the morning followed by the Cradle at 1:20pm. The plan after that is to watch the final round of the Masters on property (then we play No 2 the next morning before heading home).

This is our first trip to Pinehurst. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to watch the Masters? I was thinking we try and hole up at the Deuce, if we can find a spot, but I see it closes at 6pm. Will we get kicked out while the leaders are on the final stretch of holes or will they keep the TVs on and just stop service? Is there anywhere else we should look to hangout?

FWIW, we are staying at the Manor, but we were hoping to watch the golf closer to Thistle Dhu to try and hop on there before dark.

Pinehurst brewing would be nice but the only option close to thistle is the deuce.

Thanks! We'll put the brewery high on the list. Lots of TVs there I assume? Are the shuttles at the resort pretty easy to get around with?

Pinehurst Brew Co is terrible place to watch TV - would not recommend. Actually all of the Pinehurst downtown area really bad for that Sports bar kind of thing.

Best close options are...

Maxies - great local vibe - might find your caddie drinking there

Hickory Tavern

Kickback Jacks

Don't think he wants to leave the resort but Pinehurst brewing has a nice outside area that has tv setups.

Sit at the bar on the Cradle and watch while you are waiting on the 4th tee (always a wait) and after the 8th hole (an even longer wait). When you are done, if you want to stay on property, go to the new Carolina Vista bar at the Carolina hotel (old Ryder Cup lounge). Just renovated and, while it lost some of the charm of the old lounge, it will be a better bar experience than before.
There aren’t many sports bar type places in town, but squeezing in a bar at one of the hotels or sitting outside at the Deuce is your best bet. Just my two cents.

I'd go with the Deuce since it's right there and hope they'd let you linger but I'd definitely have some beers chilling back at my room as a back up plan.

Thanks all! We are hoping to stay on property but open to wandering off as well. Appreciate the Maxies rec. I think the Deuce with backup beers in the room is where we are most likely to end up, but we'll try and check out the Carolina Vista Bar too, especially if we get kicked out of the Deuce around 6pm.

They just remodeled the Ryder Cup Lounge at the Carolina Hotel (and you wouldn't recognize it from the old days). The bar area is great with a ton of TVs. BTW, it's now called the Carolina Vista Lounge. I think it's open now ... if not now, in a couple of days.

You said you’re staying at the Manor. The North and South Bar is very nice. Good selection of whisky’s (beer on tap if I recall) and they have a few TVs put up. My group frequented as a night cap a few times.
