An 18-Hole Homage To Mother Nature & Father Time
No. 10 is Pinehurst’s first new course in nearly three decades, but in truth it’s been centuries, even millennia, in the making. The landscape underlying Tom Doak’s new design features native wiregrass, sweeping landscape and rolling hills formed by geology. Midway through the course, it also takes advantage of rugged dunes carved out by mining operations around the turn of the 20th Century. The result is a spectacular course with 75 feet of elevation change that winds its way through the Sandhills on a path toward delivering a golf experience like no other.
Pinehurst No. 10 has a distinct home that features a name rooted in local history – Pinehurst Sandmines.

Hole 1
PAR 4 - HCP 5/3
Opening tee shot is uphill to a generous landing area. Favor the left center for best angle to the green which slopes from left to right. Be warned a ball long or right funnels away leaving a difficult up and down.

![Hole 2web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-2web.jpg)
Hole 2
PAR 3 - HCP 13/15
On the uphill mid-length par three, take enough club to cover the large upslope short of the green. Hole locations lower front, top left and back right require precise placement from the tee, par is a good score.

![Hole 3web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-3web.jpg)
Hole 3
PAR 5 - HCP 11/9
Play the tee ball to the right center which leaves a better angle for the second shot. A successful layup will hug the right side and give an open view of this large green. The approach can be played on the ground or in the air to a green which slopes from right to left.

![Hole 4web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-4web.jpg)
Hole 4
PAR 4 - HCP 15/13
Risk reward short par four. Hug the left bunkers to drive the green or aim right of the pot bunker to leave a flip wedge. Beware of back hole locations which require a shorter tee shot to allow a more lofted approach
- BLUE

![Hole 5web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-5web.jpg)
Hole 5
PAR 4 - HCP 9/7
Proper club selection is needed to avoid the two fairway bunkers. The left fairway bunker is in play when trying to cut the corner and a straight ball that is too long will find the right fairway bunker. Be aware of the hole location as a ridge splits this green in half.
- BLUE
400 YD. - WHITE

![Hole 6web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-6web.jpg)
Hole 6
PAR 4 - HCP 1/1
Longer hitters aim right of the native mound for a closer approach. Shorter hitters are better left of the native mound, a more square approach angle and less carry required on second shot. Play left of the hole, approaches will funnel to the right on this large green that slopes from back to front.
- BLUE

![Hole 7web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-7web.jpg)
Hole 7
PAR 3 - HCP 17/17
Avoid the thumbprint bunker front and center on this deceptively difficult short par three. The green slopes severely from back to front, a ball landing just short of the hole creates an advantage.
- BLUE
150 YD. - WHITE
122 YD. - GREEN

![Hole 8web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-8web.jpg)
Hole 8
PAR 4 - HCP 7/11
Favor the left side of the Matterhorn on this rolling par four. The fairway has more space to the left of center however the right side offers an inviting angle to the green. Leave the approach short of the flag, anything above the hole makes for a difficult two putt.
- BLUE
385 YD. - WHITE

![Hole 9web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-9web.jpg)
Hole 9
PAR 4 - HCP 3/5
The Big Reveal with a long par four finishing the outward nine. Place tee shot on right side of the fairway to avoid a long carry on the second. Play the right to left slopes on the approach, front right surround is an option to run onto the green from longer approach distances.
- BLUE
468 YD. - WHITE
439 YD. - GREEN

![Hole 10web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-10web.jpg)
Hole 10
PAR 5 - HCP 6/14
A well struck tee ball on this three-shot par five gives options on layup. Safely lay back from the cross bunkers on the left or risk the long carry for a shorter third shot. Favor left center of putting surface with everything sloping heavy from left to right.
- BLUE
634 YD. - WHITE
585 YD. - GREEN
536 YD. - RED

![Hole 11web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-11web.jpg)
Hole 11
PAR 3 - HCP 14/16
Precision required to avoid penal bunkers on both sides of the putting surface. Steep runoffs on the front left set priority to avoid being short. Club selection is significant on this deceivingly uphill par three.
- BLUE
182 YD. - WHITE
170 YD. - GREEN

![Hole 12web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-12web.jpg)
Hole 12
PAR 5 - HCP 16/6
A reachable par five after a great tee shot, land on the right side to catch the speed slot. Bailout is to the left where runoff slopes leave a simple pitch, missing right of this green brings bogey into play. Approach shots can use the backstop for deep hole locations, remember missing right is an almost impossible up and down.

![Hole 13web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-13web.jpg)
Hole 13
PAR 4 - HCP 2/2
Favor right center on this long par four, left center provides a shorter but more difficult approach. With a long approach, best play is to use open area short right to run or bounce the ball onto the putting surface. Par is a great score here.
- BLUE
508 YD. - WHITE
483 YD. - GREEN
448 YD. - RED

![Hole 14web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-14web.jpg)
Hole 14
PAR 3 - HCP 10/10
The longest par three on the course has a secure bailout just short right of the green. Avoid short left swale and aim for the backstop middle right to access the center of this difficult green.
- BLUE
264 YD. - WHITE
224 YD. - GREEN
213 YD. - RED

![Hole 15web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-15web.jpg)
Hole 15
PAR 4 - HCP 12/8
A great line left of the lone pine leaves a superior angle on the approach. On approach use the left ridge for a favorable roll to any right hole locations.
- BLUE
385 YD. - WHITE
361 YD. - GREEN
353 YD. - RED

![Hole 16web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-16web.jpg)
Hole 16
PAR 4 - HCP 4/12
Aim for the right center to avoid sandy areas on left. Popular bailout to this infinity green is left however just short of the green provides an easier chance to make par.
- BLUE
477 YD. - WHITE
443 YD. - GREEN
352 YD. - RED
312 YD.

![Hole 17web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-17web.jpg)
Hole 17
PAR 3 - HCP 18/18
A dramatic par three with exciting backstops and hole locations. Make use of the backstop for deep locations and ridge for middle hole locations. The knob to the right is key to sneak an approach close, just be weary of the deep back right bunker.
- BLUE
175 YD. - WHITE
142 YD. - GREEN

![Hole 18web](https://www.pinehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hole-18web.jpg)
Hole 18
PAR 4 - HCP 8/4
Bite off as much as you can chew on the final tee shot. Just right of tree line on the left is a more aggressive angle, using the right center of the fairway allows for a better view and more square approach. Hole locations can be tempting on the second shot with runoffs on all sides, center of the green allows for a safe finish.
- BLUE
433 YD. - WHITE
405 YD. - GREEN
345 YD. - RED
