Pinehurst Resort & Country Club - Thistle Dhu Putting Course

Played 2,4,7,8,and 10. First off, the resort accommodations and ambience are world class. I stayed at the Holly Inn, which was fantastic. Renovated, but still classic. Food was great, service was great, and everything is self contained and coordinated by the staff. No expense is spared. Of the courses, 8 was my favorite. 10 was great, and 4 is also outstanding. I rate these things in terms of aesthetics, and conditioning, mainly. I'm not quite as concerned about how strategically a hole plays, which may be whey I'm not that high on 2, although the turf there is outstanding. If you're a lifelong golfer like myself, at some point you just have to go, before it's too late, and you can no longer walk the courses.

I walked onto Thistle Dhu for the first time last Sunday with 3 friends after attending the final round of the 2022 U.S. Women's Open.

Designed after the Himalayan putting course in St. Andrews, Scotland (which I was on in 1975), this features 18 holes in front of Pinehurst Country Club.

Great for a little competition with friends.

Fun for everyone!

I highly recommend Thistle Dhu to "round" off your Pinehurst experience!
