If you're a golfer, stepping onto Pinehurst No. 2 feels like walking into a living piece of golf history. Crafted by the legendary Donald Ross in 1907, this masterpiece has been challenging the wits and skills of golfers for over a century.

Playing Pinehurst No. 2 isn't just about swinging your clubs; it's about embracing the art of golf. Each hole has its own character, but keep an eye on the 16th — a beastly par 4 where your tee shot needs to be bang on to tackle its strategically placed green. And remember, it’s all about positioning here. Distance might help on some courses, but at Pinehurst No. 2, your focus should be on placing your shots just right to navigate those infamous undulating greens.
Nestled in the heart of North Carolina's sandhills, this course is a blend of natural beauty and golfing challenge, complete with native wiregrass and strategic bunkering that captures the essence of the region.
