Pinehurst Golf Course

Detailed description of Pinehurst Golf Course

Pinehurst Golf Course first opened for play in 1966. The course was designed by Tom Portman and Mike Portman.

Pinehurst Golf Course is a rustic nine-holer that plays to a 9-hole par of 36 and a maximum 9-hole distance of 3,130 yards. The course is flat to rolling and straightforward. The bent-grass greens run true and not too fast. As you get a few holes in, you feel like you've stepped out of time. Pinehurst GC is bordered on one side by vineyards; along the other side locomotives rumble and whistle by every 20 minutes or so. The course is often lightly played, promoting a relaxed, easygoing round.

Notworthy holes include #3, a par four that requires a drive through a chute of trees, then doglegs left; and #6, a 530-yarder along the vineyards and finally up to an elevated green.
