Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) Hole by Hole - 10th Hole

Hole 10 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) is a challenging par 5 that measures 611 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 18, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot requires precision as there are five bunkers strategically placed along the fairway, with an average width of only 29 yards. To make matters even more challenging, there is also a slight dogleg left that must be navigated.

As for club recommendations off the tee, I would suggest using a driver to maximize distance while still staying accurate. With an average drive of around 217 yards, this should leave you with approximately 394 yards remaining to reach the green in regulation.

Speaking of which, reaching this large green will require another well-placed shot as it measures over 11,800 square feet in area. There are three greenside bunkers located near the front and right side of the green, making up only about three percent of total bunker coverage on this hole.

For your approach shot into this long par-5 hole, I recommend using either a strong iron or hybrid club depending on your comfort level and yardage needed to reach the green in two shots. Keep in mind that weather conditions can greatly affect ball flight at Pinehurst Resort and C.C., so be sure to adjust accordingly based on altitude, temperature and wind direction.

Overall, Hole 10 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) demands accuracy off both tee and approach shots due to its length and strategic bunkering placement. But if played smartly with proper club selection based on individual abilities and course conditions throughout all four seasons here in North Carolina's Sandhills region - particularly during spring when winds tend to pick up - then successfully navigating through these challenges could lead you towards some low scores!
