Our Tim Gavrich had the opportunity to preview the new Pinehurst No. 11 golf course, which will officially open in the spring of 2027 next door to the already-popular No. 10 layout at the rapidly growing Sandmines property five miles from the main resort hub.
No. 11 is the work of Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw, with associate Ryan Farrow leading the project on a true one-off site. C&C partially routed the course around and through a maze of mine spoil mounds, giving several holes an otherworldly look.
Fairways snake through quirky corridors and around tall pines. Intense, demanding moments and unusual recovery shot possibilities surprise and delight golfers. Graceful greens snuggle into cozy corners of the property. The result is something that feels both unique and distinctly Pinehurst in flavor.
