Cradle
The Cradle
789The Cradle is the official Pinehurst short-course name. The 789 is the yardage: nine holes, par 27, now confirmed for Sunday afternoon.
The original Pinehurst course is the classic, approachable opener.
The Donald Ross championship course is Pinehurst's main event.
The shortest 18-hole course still demands precision around small greens.
The Gil Hanse redesign brings big sandy movement and a modern Pinehurst look.
The Ellis Maples layout is a sturdier full-course test in the Ross family tree.
The Tom Fazio course sits away from the village and feels different from the original five.
The Rees Jones course is one of the hillier, more demanding Pinehurst rounds.
The centennial Fazio course packages Pinehurst's signature landforms into one polished layout.
The Nicklaus design adds water, natural areas, and elevated greens to the resort mix.
The Tom Doak Sandmines course is Pinehurst's first new course in nearly three decades.
The 789-yard short course is the loose, fun nine-hole round.
The 18-hole putting course is the no-greens-fee bonus hang.
The Coore & Crenshaw Sandmines course is official, but it arrives after this trip.
Food & drinks
