In 1895, James Walker Tufts purchased roughly 598 acres to create a health resort. Within three weeks, a plan for the Pinehurst Village was formed, and in 1920, a corporate ownership was established. In the 1960s, the Diamondhead Corporation took over Pinehurst from the shareholders, and in 1996, Pinehurst Village and Resort was awarded the National Landmark status for playing a significant role in US golf history.
