Fayetteville,
North Carolina

Rich in
history and tradition, Fayetteville
offers the perfect place to pay tribute
to our country’s active duty soldiers
and veterans. We call these heroes
neighbor.
The
Airborne & Special
Operations Museum, one of the
top 20 public attractions in NC, is the
only place to see, hear and experience
this comprehensive history of the U.S.
Army Airborne from Test platoon to
present day. |

Just across the
street, Freedom Memorial Park honors local
soldiers from WWI, WWII, Vietnam and the Korean
War. Various sites and museums on
Fort Bragg
further
highlight this history.'
Located in the rolling Sandhills of eastern
North Carolina, area golf courses boast the
well-known names of famous course architects
like Davis Love III, Ellis Maples, Gene Hamm and
Willard Byrd. Only minutes from the golf mecca
of Pinehurst, the Fayetteville area offers the
same rolling fairways and soft white native sand
that have made golfing in the Sandhills so
popular. Best of all,
Fayetteville area courses
are relaxed and un-crowded for totally enjoyable
play!
Weather in Fayetteville is among the most ideal
in North Carolina for outdoor activity. Highs
barely reach the bottom side of the 90s in the
summer, and cools off wonderfully in the evening
into mid 60s giving the area a median average of
mid 70 to 80 with minimum rainfall in the early
summer.
