Legendary Golf

Challenge your game on nine courses at the Cradle of American Golf, where it has been played for over 125 years.

No.1 Hole 10
No. 1
Donald Ross, 1901
It all started here in 1898. Dr. Leroy Culver built the first nine holes and John Dunn Tucker added the next nine, but it is clearly Donald Ross’s touch that you feel on Pinehurst’s first golf course.

No.2 Hole 7
No. 2
Donald Ross, 1907
Pinehurst No. 2, the centerpiece of Pinehurst Resort, 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 hosted back-to-back U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open Championships for the first time in 2014. It is the first U.S. Open anchor site and will host championships in 2024, 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047.

No.3 Hole 13
No. 3
Donald Ross, 1910
Don’t let its modest distance fool you on this Donald Ross gem – this is a fun par 68 that was renovated in 2017 to return many of Ross’s original design flourishes and characteristics throughout the classic layout.

No.4 Hole 2
No. 4
Gil Hanse, 2018
Gil Hanse’s innovative new design uses the natural topography and native sandscapes to create dramatic vistas and a stunning test of golf.

No. 5
Ellis Maples, 1961

No.6 Hole 16
No. 6
George and Tom Fazio, 1979
Tom and his uncle George, a famed designer in his own right, began work on No. 6 in 1975. The result was a more rugged, undulating track that demands bigger drives and more aggressive approaches.

No.7 Hole 16
No. 7
Rees Jones, 1986
Rees Jones built No. 7 in 1986, on the site of a forgotten nine-hole employee course laid out by Donald Ross. The layout unfolds over dramatic, hilly terrain that’s dotted with wetlands in lower-lying areas.

No.8 Hole 18
No. 8
Tom Fazio, 1995
Built to celebrate Pinehurst’s centennial, No. 8 combines classic Donald Ross concepts with the whimsical snarls that have become Tom Fazio’s calling card.

No.9 Hole 10
No. 9
Jack Nicklaus, 1988
This 18-hole championship layout features classic Nicklaus architecture: wide fairways, lush course conditions and undulating putting surfaces that test your mind and your true golfing ability.

The Cradle
Gil Hanse, 2017
