Pinehurst Resort has another new course in the works. Here’s what we know

Pinehurst Resort is growing.

Again.

On Monday, the resort announced the plans for Pinehurst No. 11, designed by the acclaimed duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. The new course will be built alongside Tom Doak’s Pinehurst No. 10, which opened a year ago on a 900-acre site that was formerly mined for sand.

Coore and Crenshaw previously worked at Pinehurst Resort during their restoration of the No. 2 course ahead of the 2014 U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open. Construction of No. 11 is set to begin at Pinehurst Sandmines later this year, with a target opening date slated for fall 2027.

“It’s such a wonderful site, just because of its inherent character,” Coore said in a statement. “That character was essentially created, not all of it is natural, but it has all been reclaimed by nature. This land is left over from all that mining from the 1930s. The spoil piles are here, and Mother Nature provided the trees, and it’s all incredible. It’s not too often you get that kind of combination, and it creates a site that is extraordinarily interesting for golf.”

While No. 10 is known for its wide fairways and stunning vistas, No, 11 will offer a more intimate experience, with unique shape and style.

“The two courses really couldn’t be more different, and we love that,” said Tom Pashley, president of Pinehurst Resort. “The designs of No. 10 and No. 11 complement each other so well by contrasting so much. Golf in the North Carolina Sandhills can be an experience unlike any other, and we believe the golf at Pinehurst Sandmines will be a great representation of that.”

This new course continues the transformation of the Pinehurst Sandmines property. Alongside No. 11, a new pro shop, restaurant and bar are set to open in 2025, with lodging to follow by 2027.

“We want Pinehurst Sandmines to be a special place not just in Pinehurst, but in the game of golf that will stand the test of time and enhance the soul of American golf,” says Bob Dedman Jr., owner and CEO of Pinehurst Resort. “The vision Coore & Crenshaw have for No. 11 coupled with what Tom Doak has already done at No. 10 makes that hope more of a possibility, and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future has in store.”
