Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw have been retained by Pinehurst to design their newest course, No. 11. It will be the first original design from Coore & Crenshaw at Pinehurst, however they did complete the renovation of No. 2, in 2011.
No. 11 will be located on the Pinehurst Sandmines property beside No. 10 and is targeted for a 2027 opening.
One of the unique features of No. 11 will be the remnants of the giant spoil piles left behind from mining operations on the site. These are over 100 years old and have matured into a very natural landform.
A 6,000-square-foot pro shop and locker room will open in June and in August, Sandmines’s restaurant and bar will open to guests. Plans for guest cottages or other potential lodging are ongoing and could be in place by the end of 2027.
When No. 11 is completed, it will push Pinehurst’s total to a whopping 207 holes of golf at ‘The Home of American Golf.’
