Pinehurst No. 8 is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. Designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1996, it plays to 7,099 yards from the back tees. Built to celebrate the resort’s centennial, it combines classic Pinehurst elements with modern shaping. It is often viewed as the most balanced all-round course at the resort, offering variety, strong conditioning, and a fair but testing design that is ideal for a flagship round beyond No. 2.
