Pinehurst
Pinehurst No. 4
Modern Sandhills resort
No. 4 is the resort round many groups enjoy most. It has more visual movement than No. 2, more width, and enough Sandhills texture to feel important without sending the whole foursome to therapy.

Pinehurst #4 is a pretty course (The best section of the course -- Holes 13, 14, and 15 with the lake). So many folks seem to say it is their favorite but not for me. I like #8 and #2 way more than #4. Here is why I like #8 better than #4 -- the distance for some of the Par 4s on

Incredible course! In my opinion, #4 can easily hold its own in comparison to the games #2. I thought their was a bit more variety at #4 and some great green complexes. Enjoyed every minyof it.

Outstanding golf course, every part of the layout was in pristine condition. This runs by #2 on a few holes, ends 18 close to clubhouse and Cradle. I’ve played a few top courses in US, this sits right up with the best. So much variety from beginning to end!
