The lush plateau in central North Carolina is the Piedmont region and it extends from the foothills to the coast.  Within this region is an area called the Sandhills, “The Home of American Golf” and is nationally famous for its championship courses.  Voted the #1 Golf Destination on the East Coast by Golf Digest, within just a 15-mile radius, you will find 43 of the finest North Carolina golf courses.

In addition to its golf fame, this central region also contains the state’s more urban areas, like the State capital, Raleigh, and Charlotte – home of numerous cultural attractions and venues, like the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, NASCAR’s Charlotte Motor Speedway, the NFL Carolina Panther’s Bank of America Stadium, Panthers and the NBA Charlotte Bobcats Arena. 

For the shop savvy traveler, North Carolina is known as the “Furniture Capital of the South”.  Designer showrooms and antique shops dot the map in The Piedmont, as frequently as the farms; including many unique, one-of-a-kind creations from some of the top craftsman and artisans in the country. 

In the western end of The Piedmont sits the Uwharrie National Park, popular for recreational activities like camping, hiking, fishing, or boating on Badin Lake, where bald eagles can be seen nesting around the dam.  Also located in Uwharrie Mountains is the NC Zoo, the largest walk-through natural-habitat zoo in the country.

Golf, cultural arts, shopping and nature calls … all waiting for you in the Piedmont.
