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

Hole Description:

Welcome to Hole 2 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) in beautiful Pinehurst, North Carolina! This par 4 hole is a true test of skill and strategy, with a distance of 472 yards from the Championship tees. The slight dogleg right adds an extra challenge for players as they navigate their way through this hole.

For the average golfer, we recommend using a driver off the tee to get as much distance as possible on this long hole. With your driver averaging around 217 yards, you should aim for the center or slightly left side of the fairway to avoid any trouble on the right side. Keep in mind that altitude and wind can impact ball flight here at Pinehurst, so be sure to adjust accordingly.

As you approach your second shot, take note of the four bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole. While there are no greenside bunkers present (as a % of total), these fairway bunkers can still pose a challenge if you find yourself in them. Our recommendation would be to use your trusty 7 iron (~140 yards) for your approach shot onto our spacious green area measuring at approximately 11546 sq ft.

Speaking of our green area, it's worth noting that it has a slight curvature which may affect how you read your putts. Pay attention to any subtle breaks and slopes on this green as they could make all the difference when trying to sink that birdie putt.

Overall, Hole 2 is ranked as one of our more challenging holes with its handicap number being set at three across all tee boxes. However, with proper club selection and strategic shots off both tee box and fairway bunker lies (if necessary), we have no doubt that you'll conquer this hole like a pro!
