The best-value golf courses in Pinehurst, North Carolina

“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.”

“Expensive pitch and putt. Everything is off mats. Several holes that are less than 70 yards. Took 2 hours to finish 9 holes”

“Loved it. No. 3 is a “short course” because it has 6 par-3s and a handful of short 4s, but it feels like a complete golf course for the most part. Great Ross green complexes and land movement with a good variety of holes.”

“When it comes to strictly the golf course, it might be my favorite layout I’ve played. Just a ton of fun. Pace was slow but never felt slow, because you want to circle these greens twice to decide how to play your chip or putt.”

“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.”
