Pinehurst Resort

Pinehurst No. 2 — Donald Ross and crowned greens in Carolina sand

The course is located in the Sandhills of North Carolina, amidst pine trees, sand, wiregrass, and gently undulating terrain.

2 opened in 1907 and became the most personal work of Donald Ross, who lived nearby for a long time and modified it over several decades. Coore & Crenshaw restored its sandy character in 2010.

Ross utilized wide fairways, subtle angles, and crowned greens that repel imprecise approaches. The restoration removed much of the uniform rough in favor of natural sandy areas.

The primary challenge lies around the greens. Slightly misdirected shots roll away into highly varied recovery areas.

Pinehurst is a large historic resort with multiple courses, hotels, caddies, an academy, and a central place in American golf.

Opened in 1907; continually refined by Donald Ross; restored by Coore and Crenshaw in 2010.
