No. 2 at Pinehurst is a classic Donald Ross design that is one of the basic standards that all courses world-wide are judged against. The experts rate No. 2 as one of the 10 greatest courses in the world.
In 1999 this course will be the site of the U.S. Open Championships. The course was selected because of it's character and tradition. You have to drive the ball well here and hit long irons well. And most of all, have a precise and razor-sharp short game.
Balls hit less than perfectly on the greens will trickle off around the edges into dips and swales. Bring all your clubs along because you will need every shot in your bag here. This is one course that will always be on our "must play list" anytime we visit this area.

Should you play #2? YES. But once will do. The other Pinehurst courses are exceptional as well and in some cases more plush. I recommend playing #7 and #8 if you can. They are a bit "off site" but the scenery is wonderful and course designs are exceptional as well. Also less crowded and quiet - away from "grand central" that surrounds courses #1 through #6.
Worth a trip for any avid golfer.
