The plan for No. 12

Use the right fairway slope for position while keeping the right green miss out of the plan.

Off the tee

A drive landing on the right slope may gain run. Plan its resting place, not just where it first lands.

Approach & recovery

Check your stance if the ball finishes on elevated or uneven ground. The left runoff is the resort's preferred recovery side; avoid steering an uncertain strike toward the right edge.

On the green

The surrounding bowl does not make every approach simple. Read the internal slopes from the ball before deciding how directly to pursue the hole.

Watch for

  • Right fairway slope
  • Right green falloff
  • Uneven approach lies

Research notes

  • A grassy bowl surrounds the green; internal slopes remain complex. — Derek Duncan, Golf Digest (08:17–08:59)[1]
  • The discussion highlights an elevated, potentially uneven second-shot stance above the green. (01:01:59–01:02:22)[2]
  • The right fairway slope can add run, but a right green miss is difficult. The operator prefers the left runoff as the recovery side. (Official hole information panel; written guidance)[3]
  • Architect Angela Moser says the last green was approved in June 2023 and all 18 holes were being played by September. This supports using the January–February 2024 terrain as post-shaping evidence, subject to spatial checks. — Angela Moser, lead design associate (00:16:00–00:17:12)[4]
  • Pinehurst announced April 3, 2024 as No. 10’s opening date and identified Tom Doak as the designer. Its account highlights former quarry terrain and a hilltop stretch. (Opening-date announcement and Doak quotation)[5]
