Golfari
/gälfärē, gôlfärē/
Noun
1. A “Safari of Golf.”
2. Found only at Pine Needles, a Golfari is a unique adventure that strikes the perfect balance between learning the game, playing the game and relaxing in the company of friends, old and new.
Send your kids on the adventure of the summer at Pine Needles Youth Golfari. Located in the beautiful Sandhills of North Carolina, Youth Golfari is a lot more than golf. It’s an exhilarating week of endless adventures and lifelong friendships. Your child will learn solid fundamentals of the game on one of the top four courses in North Carolina – in an energizing atmosphere that will foster both lasting memories and a passion for the game.
The 2022 Youth Golfari has been cancelled.
