The plan for No. 10

Choose the driving corridor before the sand near the later approach.

Off the tee

Use the broad grass as the target, with room from the sandy sides. A drive that remains visible simplifies the second shot.

Approach & recovery

Locate the bunker short of the green and choose a landing point beyond it. Do not treat a clear view of the flag as proof that a low shot will pass through.

On the green

The target is compact relative to the open approach. Favor its central portion when the approach distance or lie is uncertain.

Watch for

  • Bunker short of the green
  • Sandy approach margins
  • Compact putting target

Research notes

  • No. 4 reopened August 7, 2025 after a full greens reconstruction. Pinehurst says laser scans were used to replicate the surfaces and Gil Hanse signed off on the contours. A 2024 terrain model predates this work; geometric equivalence still needs review. (Paragraphs beginning No. 4 reopened, It wasn’t just ripping, and The first step)[1]
  • The architect’s episode notes place the 2018 rebuild alongside No. 2 and describe designing within Pinehurst’s larger identity. (Architect-published episode highlights; not audio)[2]
