02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

By Ross protege Ellis Maples, a scenic, fair, and approachable layout with generous drive zones, tamer greens than Ross built, and some of the most water on the property. Widely framed as an enjoyable secondary play, with the par 3 over the lake a standout.

Best forSceneryForgivingVariety

Consistently praised

Generous fairways and gentler greens give average golfers a real chance at par.
Scenic water holes, with the lakeside par 3 (Cathedral) a frequent favorite.

Worth knowing

More water in play than golfers expect from Pinehurst, and it is not a championship-level test or as walker-friendly as the village core.

Golfers recommend

Mind the water on the par 3 and par 5 holes; play to the fat side of greens.
A good pick when you want a relaxed, scenic round between bigger tests.
