Couples Jamboree


One of the Premier Couples Golf Tournaments in North Carolina


For more than 50 years, couples from across the United States and Canada have gathered for the “Quest for the Bell,” one of the most beloved couples golf tournaments in North Carolina. Set at Pine Needles, this enduring tradition blends friendly competition with genuine Southern hospitality, creating an experience as lively as it is refined.

Each day begins with a relaxed breakfast before tournament play across the championship Pine Needles golf course, with additional rounds at nearby Mid Pines. The format allows couples of all skill levels to enjoy the game while sharing in a sense of camaraderie. Thoughtful instruction is woven throughout the week, offering opportunities to refine your game together.

Beyond the course, the experience continues with lunches between rounds, dinners in The Crest Dining Room, and evenings filled with music and spirited conversation. As one of the most sought-after couples golf tournaments North Carolina offers, the Couples Jamboree is defined by tradition, connection, and a shared appreciation for the game.
