It is a challenge not because of its length, topography, unruly routing, water features or green size - but because of the combination of factors that have made thousands laugh and cry at the same time. Crowned greens. Carefully placed bunkers. Strategic layout that tests both the long and short game. It is golf the way it was meant to be played, "the fairest test of championship golf" ever designed by Ross, in his own words. It is also top 10 in the country, and site of more championships than any other course in the country, including the 2005 U.S. Open Championship. The US Open will return in 2014. Pinehurst is proud to be the site of the 2008 US Amateur Championship.

The fairways are wide so that the golfer realistically aim for one side or the other, depending on where the day's hole location is. As for the greens, Pinehurst No. 2 has been called the hardest (and the best!) course in the world from within 40 yards of its greens.Medicus Dual Hinge Combo Chosen by golf pros as top swing trainer clubs in the world. Try now! The greens themselves average 5,500 square feet, which isn't disturbing in and of itself. For instance, Yeamans Hall's greens average 8,000 square feet! However, when you realize that more than half of the technical green space is un-cupable as they slope off on all sides, you are left with tiny targets in the 2,500 square foot range - and that's smaller than Pebble Beach's notoriously tiny greens.VACATION GOLFHoles to Note 1st hole, 405 yards; Both Pete Dye and Tom Doak are long time fans of Pinehurst No. 2 and Dye once remarked to Doak, 'On the first hole, you've got a five foot deep bunker with an almost vertical face to the left of the green, and a humpback green with a bunch of severe dips in the ground to the right of it. What's so subtle about that?'VACATION GOLF TEE IT UP!!! vacation golf back to homepage
