Moore County, NC is a great place to live, work, start a business or get an education.  It is also known around the world as a top golf vacation destination with 43 of the most sought-after golf courses in the country.   The area is conveniently located between Charlotte and Raleigh in south-central North Carolina just to the west of Fayetteville and Fort Bragg.  Commercial air service is available to the Moore County Airport.  Amtrak service is also available at the Southern Pines train station.    

     The area's climate, which is milder and drier year-round than the surrounding areas, is a result of its unique combination of sandy soil, its elevation (600 feet above sea level at some points) and its protection by the Appalachian Mountains.  Cool green longleaf and loblolly pines are especially at home in this region, with round-the-calendar color provided by dogwood, azaleas, magnolias, camellias, hollies and other flora.  Mild winters and short hot summers make this a desirable alternative to the extremes of southern and northern states.
