Pinehurst No. 3
Another Donald Ross design (circa 1910), Course No. 3 is a shorter (par-68) layout ideal for a quick round. No. 3 features smaller greens and tighter fairways, requiring precision shot-making. While the shortest of all the courses at Pinehurst Resort at just 5,155 yards, No. 3 can challenge even the best golfers. Tiny elevated greens — averaging just 4,500 square feet each — demand precision, the kind of delicate approaches that will surely come in handy as you gear up for No. 2. A combination of longer par-3s and shorter par-4s provide ample opportunities to polish your long and middle-iron play. Accuracy and distance control also come into play on a number of well-conceived doglegs. Ben Crenshaw said it best in the 1970s, when Pinehurst No. 3 made an impression. “I just don’t think people understand how good those holes are. They’re filled with interest. They’re shorter, but there’s plenty of character to them.”
