vandyland Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Congrats! What courses are you playing? Our group was there a few years ago and we played the following (in order of the ones I enjoyed the most): Tobacco Road - a big and bold design, I have never seen anything else like it. I also shot a really good score there. Pinehurst #4 - beautiful re-design and I loved the way it played. Pinehurst #9 - felt like a higher end private club (used to be a private club before pinehurst bought it). Not too many truly memorable holes but overall a good course. The Cradle - was fun until it got super crowded, I didn't love hitting off mats but it makes sense for all the traffic they get out there. Pinehurst #5 - was a little scruffy and felt almost like a municipal golf course rather than a resort course but it is great to play as a second round on a 36 hole day. The putting course - a fun way to casually play with your friends and hit some wild putts. .......... Pinehurst #8 - they are re-doing it so maybe it will be a little softer but I found this course to be sneaky hard. Way harder than #4. The greens just REPELLED shots all day and the back 9 had a super tough stretch of holes. I got really beat up out there and I took it personally If and when we go back I want to get out to Mid Pines for a round, definitely go back to Tobacco Road and then play Pinehurst #3 for sure (I dig shorter courses) and maybe Pinehurst #1 as well. There is something that frightens me about Pinehurst #2 so I am not itching to play it. cksurfdude 1 Quote STZ 230 9.5* PinHawk SLF 16* STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* Glide 4.0 (S) 58* L.A.B.
