코스 소개

Donald Ross believed in providing golfers with strategic choices, and Pinehurst No. 2 was intended to epitomize that philosophy. In March 2011, No. 2 reopened following a year-long restoration project designed to restore the course’s natural and historic character, and the strategic options that were the centerpiece of Ross’s vision. The $2.5 million project was conducted by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and included work on every hole. Features of the project include:
•Increase fairway widths Fairways were widened by as much as 50%, offering more strategic options in playing holes from tee to green.
•50% 정도 넓어진 페어웨이
•Removal of rough All rough was eliminated, establishing two heights of grass: greens and everything else.
•러프를 치우고 두가지 높이의 잔디로 구성
•Reintroduction of natural areas 35 acres of irrigated turf were removed, restoring natural areas of sand, wire grass, pine straw and a variety of native grasses.
•Turf maintenance 650 irrigation heads were eliminated, and the centerline irrigation was restored.
•Wiregrass More than 200,000 plants were added
•Wiregrass(바랭이) 20만개 이상 심었다
•Overseeding Eliminated during the winter months, allowing for firm, fast conditions throughout the year
•Increased length Thirteen new tees were added to the championship course, increasing the total championship length by more than 300 yards, to 7,565 from 7,214.
•13개의 새 티를 만들어 351야드 늘림
•Bunker modifications Several bunkers were restored, eliminated or reshaped based on aerial images of the course from the 1940s, and bunkers were edged to create rustic appearance
•Greens Only two (15 and 17) were modified slightly to increase hole locations.
•15,17홀만 그린주변을 조금 넓힘
