Pinehurst No. 4, originally designed by Tom Fazio and later masterfully reimagined by Gil Hanse in 2018, stands as a visually stunning tribute to the timeless traditions of Sandhills golf. Hanse’s redesign focused on restoring the natural character of the landscape, creating a course that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. The terrain features rolling topography, dramatic vistas, and expansive sandy waste areas, making it arguably the most picturesque course at the resort. The par-5 13th hole is a standout, offering a classic risk-reward challenge that embodies the strategic essence of the course. Since its redesign, No. 4 has garnered significant acclaim, being voted “Best New Course” and a “Top 100 Course,” and proudly hosted the 2019 U.S. Amateur. Playing No. 4 provides a challenging yet breathtaking experience, inviting golfers to immerse themselves in a truly authentic Carolina golf landscape.

McCormick Ranch Golf Club (Pine)

Scottsdale, AZ

Designed by Tom Fazio to commemorate Pinehurst Resort’s centennial in 1996, No. 8 offers a harmonious blend of challenge and natural beauty. Fazio’s design philosophy shines through in his masterful use of the 420-acre Audubon Sanctuary, integrating rolling terrain and natural wetlands to create a visually captivating and strategically engaging course. Every hole is crafted to be both stunning and playable, providing a memorable experience for golfers of all skill levels. Among its many highlights, the par-3 15th, affectionately known as the “Cathedral Hole,” stands out with its green fronted by a pond and framed by ancient pines, creating a truly picturesque setting. The closing 18th, a demanding par-4, ascends to a green nestled near the iconic southern-style clubhouse, offering a dramatic finish. Pinehurst No. 8 promises a secluded and rewarding golf journey, where the beauty of the landscape enhances every shot.
