Overview
The Dormie Club is a minimalist Coore and Crenshaw design just north of Pinehurst that follows the popular design theme of the Sandhills region: little traditional rough, sandy waste areas lining the fairways and greens busy with humps and hollows. The course is a second-shot layout, with forgiving fairways allowing players to get off the tee without too much trouble. The greens, however, have plenty of movement, placing importance on proper shot placement on approaches. The Dormie Club has invested a lot of money in its trademark property with some of the most impressive cottages and lodging options in the Dormie Network found here.

Review
“Dormie Club's unique, secluded atmosphere and its course design by Coore & Crenshaw, is a "masterpiece of natural beauty and strategic brilliance". Its lives up to the reputation as a fun and challenging "bucket list" course that seamlessly blends with the North Carolina landscape, featuring unique elements like a reverse Redan par three. The pure golf experience mixed with high-end hospitality, including on-site cottages, makes it an ideal destination for any golf trip."

“A great experience staying and playing at the Dormie Club in NC. The course has a ton of elevation changes which provides a nice test of playing ability. Additionally, plan to navigate plenty of sand. The greens were in excellent condition and rolled well (not a lot of bumps and hops)."
