Moore County is located in the heartland of North Carolina. We are most known for a plentiful number of golf courses (home of the U.S. Open in 1999, 2005 and 2014 at Pinehurst) and a large equestrian community. We are a hop, skip and a jump away from Seagrove, a potter's haven - and we offer a quality of life that has made this one of the most desirable places to live on the entire East Coast. You'll receive a small town community feel in Moore County, yet you'll be centrally located to many big town attractions in North Carolina. We are about one hour from both Raleigh and Greensboro, three hours from the coast and four hours from the mountains. Visit and you'll see what a treasure we have in Moore County!
