Sandmines No. 10 The Sandmines property encompasses more than 900 acres, most still undeveloped. Pinehurst No. 10 is highlighted by a ridge that runs through the property. A variety of future developments are being evaluated for the Sandmines property, including an additional 18hole golf course, a short course, clubhouse and cottages. Beginning in the 1920’s, the sandy soil on the property proved useful to mining operations, especially during World War II and the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. “There’s a lot of history at this place, and you just want to honor it,” says Angela Moser, Doak’s lead design associate on No. 10. “You want to have it be a part of what you’re building, so you’ll see reminders of it.” The rugged dunes, mounds and berms created by the mining excavations remained and were reclaimed by nature. Decades later, the land and the untouched surrounding areas have been reimagined to create Doak’s No. 10, which only used 250 acres of the total property. It is a walking-only course which features short and long holes, blind shots and severely undulating greens. With over 100 feet of elevation change Doak and his team designed holes that are rarely seen anywhere else. No. 10 offers a completely different golf experience than the other courses at Pinehurst. “Pinehurst’s past, present and future is right here in the sand,” says Tom Pashley, Pinehurst Resort President. “We look forward to seeing what more can be mined in this area.” Accommodations The Pinehurst Resort offers several different accommodations to meet the needs of every individual, or group.
