This is an exclusive peek into the home designed and formerly owned by re-nowned golf course architect Donald Ross.

At first glance, the Donald Ross House/Dornoch Cottage (named after Ross’ hometown in Scotland) looks like any ordinary home. Visible from Midland Road, it is a mix of traditional and colonial. The front features a modern brick façade and arched entryway. The back, however, is much grander, with towering white columns that span from the ground to the roof. The house is a testament to marriage and compromise – a traditional front to the house to please Ross and a colonial look to the back to appease his wife.

An Evening at the Donald Ross House includes a reception and putting con-test on the third green of the famed Pinehurst No. 2. Our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Thierry Debailleul, will create a farm-to-table menu tailored specifically for you, complete with custom cocktails, local craft beers and select wines. Throughout the evening guests can immerse themselves in golf history, viewing the extensive collection of historic memorabilia belonging to the current homeowners.

horse hair and even add some grounds of coffee as a finishing touch.

During your visit, you can choose to taste a selection of dry wines or a selection of sweet wines and take home a commemorative glass.
