Pinehurst: The aspirational goal for young golfers!

Pinehurst President Tom Pashley and U.S. Kids Golf President and Founder Dan Van Horn discuss why Pinehurst is the aspirational goal for so many U.S. Kids Golf families.

Each year, the U.S. Kids Golf World Championships welcomes golfers ages 5-12 to championship courses in the Pinehurst area. These courses, this event, and the community of Pinehurst come together to produce the world's largest junior golf tournament, which provides a stage for golf’s next generation of stars to shine. The schedule consists of a Parade of Nations, Parent-Child Tournament, Trackman Demo Days, three rounds of championship play, and the Closing Ceremony. Following the three-day championship, the Van Horn Cup — a one-day best ball tournament featuring the top 12-year-old boys and girls — is contested on Pinehurst No. 4.
