Pinehurst Resort & Country Club

Pinehurst #10 marks the resort's ambitious next chapter, a departure from the familiar sandy scrubland of its celebrated core. Crafted in the modern era, this course, nestled within the rolling hills just south of the main resort, presents a distinct challenge: elevation changes that demand strategic club selection and an appreciation for nuanced green complexes. The layout favors those who can shape the ball, with subtly dog-legging fairways and approaches that reward thoughtful positioning. Designed by Tom Doak, #10 forgoes the rugged aesthetic synonymous with Pinehurst, embracing a more sculpted, parkland feel. It presents a welcome counterpoint to its older siblings. It's more forgiving from the tee, rewarding power with manageable recovery shots if wayward, but exacting on its undulating, multi-tiered greens. While devoid of the storied championship history of its sibling courses, #10 quickly garnered attention for its unique character. Locals whisper about the brisk winds that can sweep across the higher elevations, turning even the most confident rounds into a strategic puzzle. After the round, many retire to the clubhouse to enjoy their Southern cuisine - and perhaps a tall Carolina craft. More than just another addition, #10 provides a fresh perspective on Pinehurst golf, one that complements the resort's historic legacy with a contemporary playing experience.
