About Pinehurst Resort - No. 10
Pinehurst No. 10 is the newest addition to the legendary Pinehurst Resort, designed by renowned architect Tom Doak and opened in 2024. Carved from a rugged, sandy landscape that was once an old quarry, the course offers a dramatic and distinctive golfing experience unlike any other at Pinehurst. Doak's design philosophy shines through with minimalist earthmoving, allowing the natural contours and elevation changes of the Sandhills to dictate the layout. This results in a course that feels ancient and timeless, despite its recent creation. The course is characterized by its significant elevation changes, rugged bunker complexes, and expansive waste areas that demand strategic play and precise ball striking. Doak masterfully incorporated the site's natural features, including dramatic ridge lines and exposed sand, to create a visually stunning and challenging test of golf. The greens are often large and undulating, requiring a deft touch and keen understanding of the subtle breaks. Each hole presents a unique puzzle, encouraging golfers to think their way around the course rather than simply overpowering it. Playing Pinehurst No. 10 is an immersive experience that transports golfers to a raw, untamed version of the Sandhills. The course embraces the natural beauty and challenges of its environment, offering a bold and memorable round. It stands as a testament to Doak's ability to create courses that are both aesthetically pleasing and profoundly strategic, cementing its place as a must-play at Pinehurst Resort for those seeking a truly unique and engaging golf adventure.

Tips for Playing Pinehurst Resort - No. 10
When playing Pinehurst No. 10, be prepared for significant elevation changes and firm, fast conditions. Focus on accuracy off the tee, as stray shots can easily find the expansive waste areas and rugged bunkers, making recovery challenging. Pay close attention to pin positions on the large, undulating greens; understanding where to miss and how to use the slopes will be crucial for scoring. Don't be afraid to utilize bump-and-run shots around the greens, as the firm turf often favors this approach over high, soft pitches. Given the course's dramatic layout and the prevalence of exposed sand, consider bringing extra golf balls. Hydration is also key, especially during warmer months, as the walking can be strenuous. Take a moment on each tee box to appreciate the panoramic views and the unique architectural features. While challenging, the course is designed to be enjoyable, so embrace the strategic demands and the natural beauty of this exceptional Tom Doak creation.
