Founded in 1895, Pinehurst Resort is located in south-central
North Carolina in a region graced with “whispering” pines and azaleas. The
resort is home to eight world-class golf courses, an award-winning spa, three
historic hotels, and eight dining outlets, including the AAA, Four-Diamond 1895 Grille.
With over 100 culinarians on staff, Pinehurst prides itself
on providing “impeccable service” in all of its dining outlets. IUP’s
service-driven approach to teaching and curriculum content in the culinary and
baking programs matches well with the Pinehurst service philosophy and helps
prepare our graduates for successful experiences at the Pinehurst and other
high-end, service-driven properties.
