Pinehurst Resort & Country Club/Course No. 2
If you're golfing in The Carolinas, there's no better place to start than Pinehurst.
Bobby Jones so revered the place that he called it the "St. Andrews of United States golf." With its eight world-class courses – the most famous being Course No. 2 – Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (1 Carolina Vista Drive, Village of Pinehurst, NC 28374 is, indeed, an American golf mecca.
Designed by Donald Ross, No. 2 celebrated its centennial in 2007, and it's loaded with history. It's where Payne Stewart won the 1999 U.S. Open by sinking a memorable 15-foot putt on the 18th hole. The win put Stewart in good company: Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus all have won tournaments here.
Pinehurst No. 2 challenges golfers with strategically placed bunkers and crowned greens that can take longer to read than the Mitchell Report.
The course tends to be a little more forgiving from tee to green.
"The fairways are extra wide,and there are not a lot of false fronts."
With five tee boxes to choose from, the golf course is playable for all levels.
A bronze statue of Stewart stands next to the 18th green, and it has become a de facto 19th hole, with players routinely stopping for a photo op after their round.
People remember all the drama of 1999,so I think the image of Payne Stewart winning the U.S. Open is the biggest memory of Pinehurst for most visitors."
All golf trips to Pinehurst courses can be difficult to get on in the spring and fall, but winter and summer are low season.
Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club
The course has played host to the U.S. Women's Open in 1996, 2001 and 2007. Cristie Kerr shot 5 under par to win last year's tourney.
The Pine Needles golf course (1005 Midland Road, Southern Pines, NC was designed by Donald Ross in 1927 and completely restored in 2004.
"Because the course is so unique, we didn't want to change the original Donald Ross design. After painstaking research, designer John Fought completed a makeover that restored the course to Ross's original vision.
From the longest tees, Pine Needles measures 7,015 yards for a par 71, but with five tee boxes to choose from the course is playable for everyone. The course's signature hole is the par-3 No. 3.
"It's a short par 3, about 110 to 145 yards,"It's short, but because it's guarded by a pond and by bunkers on the front, as well as the left and the right, you have to be very precise. It's the hole that got the most attention during the U.S. Women's Open."Shop for womens Callaway golf clubs and accessories at Callaway's official online store! Low prices and flat rate shipping.
