Description

No course has hosted the Women’s U.S. Open in the last 15 years more times than Donald Ross’ classic Pine Needles (1996, 2001, and 2007). Built in 1928, Donald Ross provided generous fairways and challenging green sites. There are strong elevation changes throughout the course yet is very walkable. Wayward shots will likely find a bed of pine needles to rest on. Like most Ross courses, the greatness of Pine Needles is in the subtleties of the course as it lies across the natural terrain rather than trying to dominate it.

Signature Hole

3rd Hole | 145 Yard | Par 3 Easily the most famed hole at Pine Needles, this postcard par three plays over water to a green encircled by a trio of bunkers. The back to front sloping green gives a clear view of the putting surface and the large trees provide an attractive backdrop.

Wegolf Insider Tip

It’s always a treat to play a golf course designed by Donald Ross. They are tough tests of golf, challenging, they demand taking risks, but are always fair. The risk/reward factor is present in every hole. Very entertaining, even when they make you suffer a bit. Especially around the greens.
