Overview

The No. 6 is not likely to ever be an architectural darling. It was designed and built in the dark ages of the 1970s by George Fazio and is one of the sleepier courses in the area. But don’t be too judgmental—with all the sandy pyrotechnics being added around the neighborhood, No. 6 chugs along with quiet grace, presenting traditional hole after traditional hole of smart, effective bunkering through a property that rolls high and low through lovely pine corridors. There’s a lot to be said for this kind of confident maturity. In 2022, Pinehurst No. 6 hosted the USGA’s inaugural U.S. Adaptive Open.

“Originally designed in 1975 by George and Tom Fazio and later retouched by Tom Fazio in 2005. Fun, well maintained course. Worth adding to the playlist when your staying at the resort."

“This is a fun course to play. It is overshadowed by the more famous Pinehurst courses, but No 6 is very worthy with a strong layout and challenge."

Review

“Pinehurst #6 is a nice community course. There are some nice holes and it is typical golf in the southern part of the United States. The greens were well maintained and the fairways are always good in this area. The practice facility is second to none and great place to work on your game. It you want to play all the courses at Pinehurst, play it and have a good time with friends."
