Pinehurst No. 3

The Verdict

The short course. Perfect for a first day in town or an easy pairing with 36. Smaller greens than No. 2, tighter fairways, and the same sandy soil that defines Pinehurst golf — just in a more compact package.

What to Expect

• The short course — shorter than No. 2, tighter fairways, smaller greens
• First-day warmup — ideal for shaking off travel rust before tackling No. 2
• Classic Ross — turtleback greens, sandy waste areas, strategy over power
