PINEHURST 4 GOLF COURSETom Fazio, 2000 PINEHURST 4Don't let the number fool you. We kept the old name, even the majority of Ross' original routing. But in 2000, Fazio officially opened No. 4 as a brand new course, his Tribute to Pinehurst. Site of the 2008 U.S. Amateur, it offers a championship challenge to those who dare, including over 140 pot bunkers that dot the landscape. It also offers some of the most picturesque scenes at Pinehurst, including the 13th and 14th water holes. Shop a wide variety of Callaway Golf accessories at Callaway's official online store!

Pinehurst 4 doesn't spread out as much as #2. The holes are packed tighter together. The greens are larger some have hogbacks and various shapes. The focal point of the course is the lake which allowed Fazio to craft some great holes. Most notably of these is the 510-yard 13th, a risk-reward hole that starts from a slightly elevated tee box to a tight landing area bounded by bunkers right and the lake left. The hole then winds around the lake to a sloped green tucked snugly between the lake on the left and three bunkers right. For many golfers, reaching the green in two isn't the problem. It's finding the nerve to hit the shot. The three other par 5's on this par 72, 7,117-yard (6,214 from the whites) layout are also reachable in two.Cutting Edge Hybrid Golf Clubs at manufacturer Direct Discount Prices from GRIP Golf
The lake also comes into play on two of the par 3's. The 170-yard 4th plunges dramatically down from a lofted tee box over an inlet of the lake to a green complex reminiscent of 12th at Augusta. The level 189-yard 14th requires an accurate drive over another inlet to a large green perched just right of the lake. The two short par 4's - the 382-yard (from the whites) 8th and the 367-yard (from the whites) 15th - are among the best on the course. Both feature elevated greens and tight landing areas guarded by bunker clusters. Distance is definitely not a problem but like so many of the holes on this fabulously inventive creation, pinpoint accuracy is a must if you are to walk off the course with a smile on your face.
