A Signature Golf Camp for Women, Founded by Peggy Kirk Bell
At Pine Needles, golf camps for women are thoughtfully designed to reflect both tradition and connection, founded by the legacy of Peggy Kirk Bell. Our signature experience, the Golfari, offers a distinctive approach to learning and enjoying the game in a setting that feels welcoming, social, and refined.
Defined as a “safari of golf,” the Golfari is found only at Pine Needles and has become one of the best golf camps for women in the country. Each program blends instruction, play, and relaxation, creating a balanced experience that’s both engaging and unhurried.
This women’s-only experience invites guests to explore every aspect of their game, from driving to putting, while enjoying time on one of the top tracks in North Carolina. Beyond the course, the experience continues with shared meals, evening gatherings, and meaningful connections with those who share Peggy Kirk Bell’s love for the game.
For those seeking golf camps for women North Carolina is known for, the Pine Needles Golfari offers something truly special, rooted in tradition, community, and a genuine love of golf.

Inspired by Peggy Kirk Bell
Founded by LPGA legend and charter member Peggy Kirk Bell, our Ladies Golfari remains one of the most sought-after golf instruction experiences in the country. Designed by women for women, each Ladies Golfari offers a week of fun, relaxation, and meaningful game improvement. Every day brings a sense of discovery, with instruction both on the lesson tee and out on the course. Off the course, guests enjoy evening entertainment, cocktail receptions, and thoughtfully prepared dinners. Rooted in the spirit of Peggy Kirk Bell, it is an experience defined by connection, tradition, and the joy of the game.
The Fun
The fun doesn’t end when you put down your golf bag. Golfaris will enjoy delicious meals prepared by our culinary team, nightly entertainment and endless activities. Browse through the charming boutiques in the quaint Villages of Pinehurst and Southern Pines. Take a historic walking tour. Swim. Play tennis. Work out in our fitness center. Or just relax with a glass of wine and a book under the towering Longleaf pines.
The Team
When you attend one of our Ladies’ Golfaris, you not only benefit from the instruction and traditions originated by Peggy Kirk Bell, you also learn from LPGA Major winner Donna Andrews and former PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year Pat McGowan. Our instructors love to teach. And our relaxed, “Ladies Only” environment is designed to make your learning experience as rewarding as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced golfer, you’ll hit the ball straighter, master troublesome fairway woods, improve bunker shots and grow your love of the game. Our personalized approach to teaching will undoubtedly improve your game.
