The plan for No. 6

Work toward the high green with a shot that keeps the next line clear.

Off the tee

Place the drive where the uphill approach can be seen. The green sits at No. 4's high point, so assess elevation as well as horizontal distance.

Approach & recovery

Choose a club for the climb and a target away from the right-side bunker group. Coming up short can leave another shot into the same raised surface.

On the green

The view opens up on this high green. Before putting, reset to the local slope at the ball rather than carrying the uphill approach picture into the read.

Watch for

  • Raised green
  • Right bunker group
  • Sand below the approach

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]
