North Carolina Golf Courses - Pinehurst The Manor

Pinehurst No. 2 is one of the most famous courses in the world and a regular host of the US Open. It was the scene of Michael Campbell’s 2005 triumph and the late Payne Stewart won here famously in 1999. It will again host the US Open in 2014.

The raised greens and their run-off areas are the main feature on this Donald Ross-designed course. Change in elevation is also a key factor on this course with penal bunkers and pine trees giving the golfer a serious test.

A classical short course designed in 1910. The Pinehurst No. 3 course offers a very different test to the longer championship courses like No.2. The premium is on accuracy as most of the holes are tight.

Pinehurst No. 4 was renovated by Tom Fazio and reopened in 2000. The greens are modern in design and there are over 140 pot bunkers to avoid from the tee and on approaches. The course offers some of the best scenery at Pinehurst.

The No.5 Course has more water hazards to negotiate than any other course at Pinehurst. The layout also features variety - uphill and downhill, left-to-right and right-to-left, long and short par fours. Overall, it is a very playable, enjoyable 18 holes.

Located a mile away from the Main Clubhouse, Pinehurst No. 7 was renovated in 2003. Located on some of the most rugged land around the Village of Pinehurst, the course has a mountainous feel. Designed by Rees Jones, noted for large undulating greens and spectacular scenery across the North Carolina countryside.

Located around two miles from the main clubhouse, Pinehurst No.8 features raised greens with false fronts, dips, swales and run offs similar to No.2. Pinehurst No. 8 is an easy course to walk, with the greens and following tee boxes near together.
