Welcome to North Carolina Heartland

Serving as North Carolina’s more urban center, the Heartland region boasts some of the states most enticing attractions! Billed as the “Home of American Golf,” the Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen area is home to more than 40 world-class golf courses. But, if you prefer to go a little faster, try a NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, home to the Coca-Cola 600 race every Memorial Day weekend. And, if you’re engines are still roaring after the race, drive to Charlotte for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Stay in Charlotte to explore the galleries of the NoDa district before making your way to state capital Raleigh. Take a Segway tour of downtown and wander the North Carolina Museum of Art! North Carolina’s Heartland region has it all!
