Leave tomorrow for Pinehurst, never been before....excited to finally go.

11 rounds in 6 days

Excited for #2, #4, #10, and Tobacco Rd.....we'll see how i rate them after next week. #4 is done by Hanse (who is my favorite course designer) but they emailed us and basically said the greens are in really rough shape which I'm bummed about.

Thursday - Pine needles
Friday - Tobacco Rd
Saturday - Pinewild and Southern Pines
Sunday - Pinehurst #4 and #9
Monday - Pinehurst #10 and #3
Tuesday - Pinehurst #2 and The Cradle
Wednesday - Pinehurst #8

I'll update as we go

My buddies and I are heading up there in May. So please provide as much an update as you are willing and able to provide.

Agreed on cradle, try and get at least another tee time there in the evening

I enjoyed Mid Pines more than Pine Needles.

Tobacco Road is amazing.

I agree. It's a lot of fun. I think the 13th hole may be the most polarizing hole I've ever talked to people about. Some absolutely love it, others (me included) do not.

Make sure you get some pics holding the flagstick on 9 (or 13) both are massive

Thats a lot of golf, have fun. I would love to make a trip up there one day.

One of my favorite places. Tough to see the bill, but it's worth it to go at least once. 4 was my favorite course, but I've heard 10 is amazing.

Southern pines is so so so so underrated after the restoration. Glad you're hitting it. We loved it as much as Tobacco Road.

Cradle is overrated.

Seen online where #4's greens are terrible. Heard they are allowing people to change courses if they want to.

Not sure what happened but appears to be isolated to #4.

Have fun. There's nothing like Pinehurst.

It's a country club. Curious how he's getting on as I live here and would love to play it.

I was able to get one in close there!

Sounds like a blast! I live here and we're taking a two night staycation at the beginning of November. I haven't heard about the greens on 4, so I'll be interested to know if they're going to fix them.

I plan on playing 2, 4 and 10 but would likely switch to 8 if 4 is down still.

I love Pine Needles. Drive by it every day to go to the grocery store or take kids to school. It's in beautiful shape right now!

A buddy is getting us on

Not sure who he knows

Is it supposed to be good?

Looks gorgeous online. Don't know anyone who has played it. To me, it looks like a mix of Sandhills golf with traditional golf with the ponds/lakes.

Agreed with the comment. I like 4 better than 2, but for that price point, the course should be pristine. They should discount until remedied

Considering the overall package price plus most people traveling from out of town to play, that's not really worth it

if I didn't drink, I would also think it's way overrated...honestly if I didn't drink, cradle would be annoying af. it's more of a drink fest first and golf 2nd. by the 2nd lap, most people are barefoot and stumbling

We are supposed to play #4 on Monday. Based on the condition, we are currently trying to get that round switched out with another course.

This is disappointing to hear when to this point Ive heard nothing but the complete opposite. Hopefully my experience is a positive

I'd happily park my ass at the adirondack chairs next to the bar overlooking the cradle all afternoon. And I may for too long last time I was in Pinehurst, as I had to go back the next day in search of my credit card.

Planning to go back to Pinehurst next year. Will we play the craddle? Probably. Do I think it's way overrated as the best time ever? Yes.

FYI our reservation guy acknowledged #4 is in bad shape and moved us to #6.
It might be worth a shot for you guys.

I'll go ahead and say it again for anyone planning a pinehurst trip -- PLAY SOUTHERN PINES. for the money, it was the highlight of our trip. club house isn't great, but the course is just as good as tobacco and just a shade under #4

This is a great itinerary. How many are in your group?

Unfortunately most of the guys I know wouldn't want to get that many rounds in, but to me thats making the most of the time you have there.

I'll second the suggestion to play Southern Pines. Although I played it before the renovation, the pics/vids I've seen of it look great.

I certainly think it's the best outside the resort. Probably right after #2 for me.

I would avoid 6. It's not worth it.

8 or 3 would be fun
