02What golfers say

The word on the course.

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

A Rees Jones design on the most rugged, hilliest land at the resort, where most greens sit elevated and the round becomes a relentless test of aerial approach shots. Respected as a strong player’s course that can wear out shorter hitters.

Best forShot-makingVariety

Consistently praised

  • The most dramatic elevation and terrain of any Pinehurst course, with strong finishing holes.
  • Demanding, well-guarded approaches that reward players who can flight the ball high.

Worth knowing

  • Thirteen of eighteen greens are elevated, so it can beat up shorter hitters and higher handicaps, and swirling tree wind makes yardages hard to trust.

Golfers recommend

  • Take the cart; the hills make this one a grind to walk.
  • Club up into the uphill greens and favor a higher ball flight on approaches.
