Facility Spotlight: Pinehurst No. 9

Pinehurst No. 9, previously known as The National, was designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1988. The course originally opened as a private club in 1989 but in 2014, Pinehurst Resort & CC purchased the course making it No. 9. Annually we host youth summer camps and partner programs on and off the golf course as well as our bi-monthly Board of Director meetings and mixers! We appreciate Pinehurst No. 9’s partnership and support!

“The driving factor for continuing to host First Tee – Sandhills programs is the interaction with staff, volunteers, and kids. From when the first person arrives on site to when the last person leaves they are respectful, polite, and they leave all areas better than when they arrive. I love nothing better than seeing kids of all ages enjoying the game I love so much as they are the future of the game of golf!”

-Cole Stiles: Pro Manager at Pinehurst No. 9 & 7
