How Pinehurst No. 10 became an immediate stalwart at Pinehurst Resort
Pinehurst No.10, a Gil Hanse design, opened in 2014 as one of Donald Trump’s initial forays into golf course architecture. Hanse was charged with crafting a course that would pay homage to Pinehurst No. 2 while still offering a unique and challenging experience.
The course quickly gained popularity with golfers of all levels. Its wide fairways and generous greens make it playable for golfers of all skill levels, while its strategically placed bunkers and water hazards provide a challenge for even the most experienced players.
No. 10 has also been praised for its aesthetic beauty. The course is routed through a forest of longleaf pines, and its rolling hills and sandy waste areas give it a natural, unspoiled look.
In the years since it opened, No. 10 has become one of the most popular courses at Pinehurst Resort. It has hosted several major tournaments, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship in 2017, and is consistently ranked among the best courses in the United States.
