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

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

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

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. 5 was designed in 1961 by Ellis Maples, a protégé of Donald Ross, and part of North Carolina’s first family of golf course design and construction.

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

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

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

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

Nearly 120 years after golf arrived here, we present The Cradle, a nine-hole short course that even the newest to the game can enjoy. Designed by golf architect Gil Hanse, the Golf Channel calls The Cradle, “the most fun 10 acres in all of golf.”

Thistle Dhu

18-Hole Putting Green

Thistle Dhu features 18 holes of mind-bending journeys designed to entertain everyone in the family, from the golfing beginner to the scratch player and everyone in between.
