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.

The greens were incredibly fast with some sneaky undulation that can catch you off guard. A great stretch of finishing holes, too, which makes for a really fun way to wrap up the round.

Pinehurst No. 4 is an outstanding resort course that’s the brain child of Gil Hanse renovation of an original Donald Ross routing. Perfectly conditioned w/ excellent new greens that roll true but a bit slow. The stretch of the 13th & 14th around water is my favorite on property.

You don’t go to Pinehurst to play 7, it’s just an ok filler. A lot of the same elevated tee, down to the fairway, and uphill to the green. Greens very grainy…

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Pinehurst, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
