Aug 26, 2021 · Farren: No. 1 is a great introduction to the history of golf at Pinehurst. The landforms are essentially the same as they were when the course was established at the turn of the 20th century. There is little evidence of any major grading that changed the way the course was originally designed.

The original course at “the Cradle of American Golf,” Pinehurst No. 1, has nothing but good vibes. Friendly layout allows for fun and good scores.
When you say “Pinehurst,” most people immediately think of No. 2 [full review HERE]. And while the major championship venue is undoubtedly the star of the show, no guest at Pinehurst should ignore the original course, No. 1. With some classic Donald Ross design elements dialed back to better fit the recreational golfer, No. 1 is a golf course built...
Pinehurst is home to some of the best practice facilities you’ll find anywhere. There’s a large range that’s a stone’s throw from a short game area with two greens and two bunkers. Between The Cradle and the range, you’ll find a massive putting green. There are several holes for conventional putting practice, but why would you want conventional whe...
The hospitality and service I’ve received in my two trips to Pinehurst is nothing short of world class. From the staff at the Carolina hotel to the shuttle drivers to the starters, it’s all smiles, warmth, and welcome. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time as much as possible. In terms of amenities, Pinehurst is home to mu...
Pinehurst No. 1 shares certain aesthetic elements with it’s more famous brother, but the lack of sandy waste areas gives it its own look. Each hole at No. 1 has statuesque pines outlining fairways that are almost universally wide. Tasteful bunkering gently guides your eyes through each hole, and the rolling elevation changes give the course a natur...
If you don’t walk away from No. 1 feeling good about your driving, you should consider taking up lawn bowling (another popular Pinehurst pastime). The fairways on this course are among the widest I’ve played, and the rough is extremely playable. Add in the fact that the course tips out under 6,100 yards (Par 70), and you have the recipe for lots of...
One of the things I kept thinking while playing No. 1 was, “This is like No. 2, but without the extreme difficulty.” That starts to come to light in the approach game and really shines through around the greens. In the fairways, you’ll find a pleasant mix of flat spots and more challenging lies, but nothing too harsh. At no point will the ball be d...
As you can see above, No. 1 proudly displays its Donald Ross heritage with its crowned greens. Though the greens aren’t as fast as No. 2 and the fringe is taller, it’s still possible to have poorly struck chips (or putts) end up worse than they started. That taller fringe is seen throughout the surrounds. Putting is a reasonable option most of the ...
#18 – Par 5 – 426 Yards Though it plays uphill, the closing hole at No. 1 is short enough that most players will have a decent chance at birdie. It’s also a perfect encapsulation of the “Friendlier No. 2” feeling, as your final approach plays toward the clubhouse but is far enough away that there’s no pressure from the gallery. #12 – Par 3 – 222 Ya...
When you travel to Pinehurst, especially the first time, you’re going to want to test your mettle against No. 2. And while you should absolutely do that, don’t miss out on a fun round at Course No. 1. The original Pinehurst golf course has tons of charm and will have you walking off #18 feeling good about your game.
