The Golden Bear’s Gold Standard
Jack Nicklaus has long stated that Pinehurst’s No. 2 is his favorite course from a design standpoint, so it’s no surprise that his own masterpiece here draws influence from it. In fact, No. 9 offers meticulous design set amongst stands of longleaf pines that many believe rivals the very course that inspired it, both in terms of play quality and overall composition. The only way to truly know is to visit and play all 7,122 yards of this magnificent course for yourself.
