Pinehurst founder James Tufts created the North and South championships beginning in 1901 to attract golfers and publicity to the then-fledgling resort. North Carolina has been a magnet for top-notch play ever since, boasting several courses that have served as stops for championship golf. And you can play them, too.

Pinehurst No. 2 has been the site of two U.S. Opens (with the 2014 Open on the schedule), one PGA Championship, one Ryder Cup and one U.S. Amateur (with the 2008 championship also set for August). Payne Stewart won the 1999 Open on No. 2 with one of the most famous shots in golf, a 15-foot putt on the 72nd hole to stave off Phil Mickelson.

The best-of-the-best have prevailed in North Carolina. Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr have won U.S. Women's Opens at Pine Needles. Lee Trevino won the 1974 PGA Championship at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons.

If you're a baseball fan, you're not likely to take the field at Yankee Stadium. But a golfer can come to North Carolina and play the same venues the pros play.
