About this course
Pinehurst No. 5 is an 18-hole resort course in Pinehurst, North Carolina, designed by Ellis Maples and opened in 1961. The par-72 layout measures 6,823 yards from the Gold tees, with both nines playing to par 36. Maples routed the course through the existing landscape, mixing long and short par 4s with wide fairways and generous landing areas across undulating terrain. The par-3 14th, known as the Cathedral Hole, plays over a pond framed by old pines whose tops resemble organ pipes.

Pinehurst Resort No. 8, also known as the Centennial Course, is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course in Pinehurst, North Carolina, designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1996 to mark Pinehurst's 100th anniversary. The course plays to 7,099 yards, is designated an Audubon Signature Sanctuary, and routes through rolling pine forest and wetlands with a Cape-style par-4 14th hole. A 2022 renovation reworked bunkers, greens and irrigation while leaving Fazio's original architecture unchanged; the course has ranked among GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Courses You Can Play.

The Cradle at Pinehurst
Pinehurst, NC · 0.3 mi away
The Cradle at Pinehurst is a nine-hole short course designed by Gil Hanse and opened in 2017. The compact routing rolls across sandy ground, wiregrass and pines near the main clubhouse, with varied par threes that reward imagination rather than length. Music, quick rounds and the option to loop it again make the atmosphere deliberately social, but the contours and recoveries still feel tied to Pinehurst's broader golf character. Cradle Crossing is the open-air bar overlooking The Cradle, with seating and fire pits above the third green and fourth tee. The nearby Pinecone bar cart and its Transfusions add to a short-course scene built around music, sunsets and another loop.
