Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) Hole by Hole - 18th Hole

Welcome to the 18th hole at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2), a challenging par 4 that measures 445 yards from the Championship tees. This hole is known for its slight dogleg right, which requires precision off the tee to set up a favorable approach shot.

From the championship tees, we recommend using your driver to hit around 217 yards off the tee. The fairway width is only 29 yards, so accuracy will be key here. Be sure to take into account any wind conditions, as Pinehurst can experience strong gusts throughout all four seasons.

As you make your way down the fairway, keep in mind that this hole has no water hazards but does have four strategically placed bunkers along both sides of the fairway. These bunkers are not greenside and only account for about 1% of total bunker coverage on this hole.

For your approach shot, we suggest using a pitching wedge or even a sand wedge if you feel confident with it. With an average distance of around 120 yards for your pitching wedge shots, you should be able to comfortably reach this green in regulation.

Speaking of greens, this one measures at just over 10,500 square feet and offers plenty of undulations and subtle breaks that will challenge even the most skilled putter. Keep an eye out for any changes in elevation as well since Pinehurst sits at a higher altitude than many other courses on tour.

Overall, Hole #18 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) is a great finishing hole that requires precise shots off the tee and on approach while also testing your putting skills on its large green complex. Good luck!
