Course No. 2

Donald Ross, 1907

It is a challenge not because of its length, topography or unruly routing - but because of the combination of factors that have made thousands laugh and cry at the same time. Crowned greens. Carefully placed bunkers. Strategic layout that tests both the long and short game. It is "the fairest test of championship golf" ever designed by Ross, in his own words. It is the site of significant national golf championships.  Pinehurst will host back-to-back Championships with both the U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open in 2014.

In 2010, Pinehurst announced that the esteemed Coore and Crenshaw team has been hired to restore historic character to No. 2.  The course remains open as aesthetic changes, not affecting play, are made.  To see the timeline of progress on this exciting project, please click here.
