At the Home of American Golf in the North Carolina Sandhills, Pinehurst gathers ten eighteen-hole courses and Gil Hanse's nine-hole Cradle short course into a single property that traces more than a century of course design. It runs from Donald Ross's founding Nos. 1, 2 and 3 — his revered No. 2 since restored by Coore and Crenshaw to its sandy, native-edged character — through the modern era: Ellis Maples's No. 5, the Fazios' Nos. 6 and 8, Rees Jones's No. 7, Jack Nicklaus's No. 9, Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner's ground-up rebuild of No. 4, and the bold, dune-tossed No. 10 that Tom Doak carved from an old sand mine in 2024. Access ranges from walk-on rounds on a few of the courses to resort-stay play on the marquee layouts. As the USGA's first U.S. Open Anchor Site, Pinehurst will host the U.S. Open in 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047 after staging it in 2024 — a commitment unmatched in American golf, and a fitting one for the game's spiritual home.
