The best golf course layouts in Pinehurst, North Carolina

“Pinehurst’s crown jewel, No. 2, is a masterpiece. I’ve been lucky to play here several times and it never gets old. Donald Ross’s architecture here is so so good with tons of variety that forces you to hit tons of different shots.”

“Tom Doak did an amazing job with this property, which used to be a course called The Pit. The routing is superb, the course is playable for all handicaps, but still challenging for low handicaps, and the seclusion compared to the other courses at the resort is special.”

“Tried and True Coore&Crenshaw layout in the NC Sandhills. Big Pines, water holes, bunkering to perfection and elite greens.”

“Mid Pines is always a treat. It’s a bit more adventurous and demanding off the tee compared to Pine Needles, mixing in some fantastic doglegs & significant elevation changes for the Sandhills. It has classic Donald Ross turtleback greens but they weren’t as slick as I’d hoped.”

“An amazing course. I love Strantz, but you have to know what you are walking into and do some research if you don’t have anyone with you that has played. Some of the greens are about as crazy as possible, which allows for so many different options (a Strantz speacial).”
