We chose The Renaissance Resort.  Our spacious and bright, balconied room overlooked the resort and we couldn't have been happier with the accommodations.  After settling in, we decided to visit the Hall of Fame, located just a few steps away from the hotel.

The World Golf Hall of Fame (the main attraction of the World Golf Village) commemorates golf's foremost champions.  It traces the history and development of the sport from its earliest beginnings in Scotland to the global popularity that golf enjoys today. Serving as an inspiration to its international set of golfers and fans, the World Golf Hall of Fame celebrates the achievements of over one hundred legends enshrined in the hall of Fame through stories, memorabilia, photographs, video and interactive exhibits.

Plan to spend at least 2 or 3 hours, if not more time here, there is so much to see and do.  Incidently, your ticket is good for 2 days.

Here is a list of the Permanent Exhibits at the Hall.
• The History of the Hall - From its roots in Pinehurst, understand what members have to achieve in order to be inducted. You'll learn what it takes to get ready for each year's Induction Ceremony and some of the memorabilia from past years' festivities.
• The Royal and Ancient Game - Learn about more than five centuries of golf lore, from its formative years in Scotland to its global expansion, by exploring the early stick-and-ball forerunners that preceded the modern-day game. Then stroll across a life-size replica of the famous Swilcan Burn Bridge, modeled after the original at the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, before indulging yourself in the history of The Open Championship and The R&A itself.
• Championship Moments Theater - This stirring, 10-minute video transports you back in time to give you a greenside seat at some of the most compelling shots and iconic moments ever played out on a golf course. Witness the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Nancy Lopez and Kathy Whitworth at the height of their golfing prowess.
• Recent Inductee Exhibits - These exhibits feature an array of memorabilia that represent significant moments in the most recent inductees' lives.
• Trophy Tower - One of the World Golf Hall of Fame's most recognizable features is its tower, which holds a collection of the game's most storied treasures. Golf's major championship trophies, as well as THE PLAYERS Championship, Ryder Cup and World Golf Championship trophies, are on display.
• Wall of Fame - The center of the museum is Shell Hall, where members of the World Golf Hall of Fame are honored on an 88-foot-long "Wall of Fame." Each member is featured with a bronze relief plaque in his or her likeness and a brief summary of each member's respective career gives a perspective on the greatest contributors the game has ever seen.
• Shell's Wonderful World of Golf - Learn the history of this famous and long-running television series and its impact on the game while watching historic footage of legends like Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead. Then get your time under the lights as you putt on a major championship-speed green while an announcer calls the action and a gallery 'oohs and ahhs' your every stroke.
• Golf Around the World - Want to play the Old Course at St. Andrews? Firestone Country Club? The Plantation Course at Kapalua? You can challenge all of the above and many other renowned courses in the golf simulator. Bring your swing, using real clubs and balls courtesy of Wilson Staff, and find out how well you would fare as you navigate your way around some of the world's elite courses.

• Member Locker Room - Features authentic, life-size lockers, one for each World Golf Hall of Fame member. These ever changing exhibits showcase items contributed by the members, their estates and other donors, telling little-known stories from the members' careers and their personal lives. Items include golf bags, clubs, trophies, badges and some very unique personal items including baseball bats, a football, torn money, a Barbie doll, a red sequined evening dress, a cow bell and much more.
