Pinehurst Golf Courses
Fall Dates – 2016
Pinehurst #2:
The centerpiece of Pinehurst Resort, No. 2 remains one of the world’s most celebrated golf courses. It has served as the site of more single golf championships than any course in America and, in 2014, made history again, becoming the first to serve as host to the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open Championships in consecutive weeks. Opened in 1907, No. 2 was designed by Donald Ross, who called it “the fairest test of championship golf I have ever designed.” Ross was associated with the course for nearly a half-century, improving the course continually until his death in 1948. No. 2 is best known for it’s crowned, undulating greens, which are some of the most complex and widely hailed in the world.
Golf Magazine: Ranked #10 in the US & #16 in the world.
No. 2 Has Hosted:
- 3 U.S. Opens
- 1 PGA Championship
- 1 Ryder Cup
- 2 US Amateur Championships
- 1 Senior US Open
- 2 Tour Championships
- 1 U.S. Women’s Open
Pinehurst #4:
Don’t let the number fool you. We kept the old name, even the majority of Ross’ original routing. But in 2000, Tom Fazio officially opened No. 4 as a brand new course, his tribute to Pinehurst. It was the co-site of the 2008 U.S. Amateur, and offers a championship challenge to those who dare, including over 140 pot bunkers that dot the landscape. It also offers some of the most picturesque scenes at Pinehurst, including the 13th and 14th water holes.
Pinehurst #8:
Opened in 1996 to commemorate Pinehurst’s Centennial. Tom Fazio incorporated signature Ross features into the design of No. 8, including dips and swales around the greens and false fronts. The combination of beautiful rolling terrain, natural wetlands and proximity of the greens to subsequent tees make No. 8 a pleasure to walk. As the site of the PGA Club Pro Championship in 1997 and 1998, it is a proven championship course that daunts the delights of all who play it.
