Pinehurst No.11 - New Golf Course Built on Former Sand Mining Land, Opening in 2027 Revives Cradle of American Golf Legacy

Pinehurst No.11 has officially been announced with its opening scheduled for March 29, 2027, marking a significant expansion of Pinehurst Resort on 900 acres of Sandmines land. The course is not just a new facility but a living example of modern golf development rooted in American golf heritage. According to technical analysis from the announcement, the design by Coore and Crenshaw – the same pair who restored Pinehurst No.2 in 2026 – routes all 18 holes through trees, over, around, and between rumpled landforms, making eccentricities the core of the design rather than smoothing them away. This creates a harmonious blend of raw nature and refined golf architecture, preserving jagged ridges, unruly mounds, and tree pockets reclaimed by pines and native vegetation.
