The World Amateur Golf Rankings will recognize the PGA National Club Championship – WAGR coverage includes more than 10,000 players from 102 countries, and more than 4,000 ranking tournaments played in 104 countries.
Donald Ross’ masterpiece, No. 2 at Pinehurst, has served as the site of more single golf championships than any other course in America, also hosting back-to-back U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open Championships in 2014 and recently the 2024 U.S. Open. No. 2’s iconic sloped turtleback greens and wide fairways with native wiregrass and sand make this course a central part of any Pinehurst visit. When you walk this course, you walk in the footsteps of legends.
Visually stunning from tee to green, No. 4 was created by Gil Hanse in the timeless tradition of golf in the North Carolina Sandhills. After its redesign in 2018, No. 4 was voted “Best New Course” and a “Top 100 Course,” and was chosen to host the 2019 U.S. Amateur. The rolling topography and dramatic vistas make it one of the most breathtaking courses at Pinehurst.
In 1961, Ellis Maples, who studied course design at the side of Donald Ross, adopted his mentor’s mentality of finding the course that lies in the landscape as it already exists, resulting in the spectacular No. 5 course. Known for its par-3 14th hole, bestowed the saintly nickname Cathedral Hole, this course features stunning lake views and picturesque pines.
