Which origin airports commonly fly into the Pinehurst market for golf weekends?

New York, Washington, and Atlanta are the primary Northeast and Southeast feeders routing into KRDU. North Charleston, Wilmington, and West Palm Beach are common regional origins routing into KFAY for a closer arrival to the Pinehurst Sandhills.

How should I think about pricing for a 3-day round trip to Pinehurst?
