Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) Hole by Hole - 6th Hole

Hole 6 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) is a challenging par 3, with a distance of 224 yards from the Championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 7, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.

The tee shot for this hole requires precision and accuracy, as there are three bunkers strategically placed around the green. These greenside bunkers make up approximately 21% of the total bunker count on this hole. For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, we recommend using a fairway wood or hybrid off the tee to ensure they avoid these hazards.

In addition to the bunkers, golfers must also contend with any potential wind conditions that may impact their ball flight. Located in North Carolina, Pinehurst experiences moderate winds throughout all four seasons which can affect shots on Hole 6. We advise golfers to pay close attention to wind direction and adjust club selection accordingly.

For approach shots onto this large green (measuring over 20,000 square feet), we recommend using a longer iron such as a 7 or even an 8 iron for those who hit their pitching wedge around 120 yards. This will help control trajectory and allow for better placement on the green.

While water does not come into play on Hole 6 at Pinehurst #2, golfers should be mindful of any run-off areas surrounding the green which could lead to tricky lies or difficult chip shots if missed.

Overall, Hole #6 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) demands accuracy off the tee and strong club selection for approach shots in order to successfully navigate its length and strategic design.
