About this home

Thistle Dhu is a celebrated Pinehurst landmark where American golf history and refined living converge. Built in 1919 by James Barber, this storied estate was home to the first 18-hole miniature golf course in the United States, with original holes still visible today, including one on the front lawn near the driveway. The name ''Thistle Dhu'' is a playful nod to Barber's admiring words upon completion: ''This'll do.''
