02What golfers say

The word on the course.

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

The Sandhills’ only Jack Nicklaus design, a former private club acquired by the resort, with wide tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and a stout, aerial-game test that stands apart in style from the rest of Pinehurst. Reviews are positive but split between underrated and ordinary-by-Pinehurst-standards.

Best forShot-makingVarietyBig hitters

Consistently praised

A distinct Nicklaus feel and a welcome change of pace from the resort’s Ross courses.
Strong par 5s and a memorable finishing stretch, with the 10th drawing particular praise.

Worth knowing

Classic Nicklaus difficulty rewards the aerial game, so higher handicaps may struggle, and it sits off the main village.

Golfers recommend

Move up a tee; from the right tees it is manageable, from the back it is demanding.
Come ready to fly approaches in; this is not a ground-game course.
