Designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1928; restored by Kyle Franz. The par-71 course is known for crowned greens, sandy native areas and classic strategic angles, and has hosted four U.S. Women’s Opens.

Franz's restoration put Ross's crowned greens and sandy edges back, and the par-71 routing is as walkable as it was in 1928. The best Sandhills course you can play without a Pinehurst booking.
