With a Pinehurst vacation rental, the weather can swing around as much as the golf clubs, and you'll experience all 4 seasons. Summers are warm and humid without being unpleasantly so, but the high likelihood of afternoon thunderstorms also means that July is the wettest month in Pinehurst. For drier days, try April, and in fact spring in general is a great time to visit. Winters are short, and while it does freeze sometimes, it rarely gets very cold. One of the loveliest seasons round here is fall, where vacationers will find Pinehurst dishes up mild days and gorgeous colors.
