U.S. Open 2024

Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (Course No. 2) will host the U.S. Open 2024 on June 13-16.
The No.2 course is the most famous of all the Pinehurst courses, revered the world over, and understandably so. Designed by the legendary Donald Ross, "No.2" opened in 1907.

Pinehurst No.2's Roll of Honour includes many distinguished legends of the game. Ben Hogan won his first professional tournament here (1940 North & South Open), which convinced him to remain a touring professional. Perhaps the images most strongly etched in golfers' minds are those associated with Payne Stewart winning the US Open here in 1999.

Call them what you will .... turtle-backs, inverted saucers or upturned pudding bowls. Pinehurst No.2 has some of the most difficult crowned greens that you'll find in golf. Slick run-off areas around these domed putting surfaces simply serve to magnify your troubles. If any part of your game needs to be completely on song to score well on No.2, it's your chipping and putting.
