Today, through the kindness of a dear friend, I was able to go out and play several holes at the Dormie Club in Pinehurst NC. The atmosphere for good golf is ideal...sand based soil, firm fairways and greens and beautiful, strategic golf hole design....Currently there are only a limited number of holes in the ground....but everything that is there is fabulous, terrific and fun. The fourth hole is a medium length par 4 with a two tier fairway with the right side higher...drive it down the left and you get closer to the green but have a difficult approach to a phenomenal green complex...down the right gives you a wonderful view and angle to the severly sloping left to right green...amazing place.
It will not surprise me in the least if The Dormie surpasses Sand Hills as the #1 Crenshaw and Coore course but time will tell....I only was able to play 7 holes ....although the short par 3 12th (not yet playable) was another gem.
