The plan for No. 17

Pick a green section and let the banks help only when the shot fits their shape.

Off the tee

Choose a club for the actual flag and wind, with the deep rear-right bunker outside the intended miss.

Approach & recovery

From a miss, use a safe section of putting surface. A recovery across several ridges can be harder than a longer putt from the right section.

On the green

Left and rear banks can feed particular areas, while the front plateau is a separate target. Finishing on the correct level limits difficult cross-slope putts.

Watch for

  • Deep rear-right bunker
  • Front plateau
  • Feeding banks and ridges

Research notes

  • Being in the correct green section limits difficult cross-slope putts. — Derek Duncan, Golf Digest (11:17–11:50)[1]
  • Several banks and ridges can feed different green sections. A deep rear-right bunker penalizes a shot that misses beyond that side. (Official hole information panel; written guidance)[2]
  • The design interview identifies feeding slopes at the left and rear and a front plateau behind the bunker; Doak requested more plateau depth during construction. — Angela Moser, lead design associate (00:30:55–00:33:35)[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)[3]
  • 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)[4]
