Pinehurst Resort has will begin construction on its tenth golf course later this month. Designed by Tom Doak, the new course will feature rugged dunes, native wiregrass, longleaf pines, and natural water features.
Doak describes a course that is complimentary, yet quite different from the existing layouts at the Cradle of American Golf.
“The site is topographically distinct and drastically different from anywhere in Pinehurst,” Doak says. “It’s bigger, bolder and more dramatic. There’s about 75 feet of elevation change, and we’ll work our way up to it around the mid-point of the layout. You’ll have expansive views from this apex over the rest of the course. It will be an unforgettable experience for golfers.”
Renowned landscape architect Angela Moser will work with Doak as lead design associate. Moser’s noted works include Streamsong Black, Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course, St. Patrick Links in County Donegal, Ireland, and Ohoopee Match Club in Cobbtown, GA.
In addition to the new regulation golf course, a new short course, clubhouse, and guest cottages are expected.
“This exceptional property is a place where many of our dreams of the future can be contemplated,” says Pinehurst Resort CEO Bob Dedman Jr. “How those dreams play out will be determined over time, the same way the path forward revealed itself through recent additions like The Cradle, Thistle Dhu and the redesign of Pinehurst No. 4. Adding a Tom Doak design to our collection is another historic chapter in the story of Pinehurst. We can’t wait to read it.”
The project could potentially be completed by the time the US Open returns to Pinehurst #2 in 2024.
