Pinehurst, We Have a Problem: No. 4 to Undergo Full Green Restoration After Failed Recovery Attempts
In a stunning update from one of golf’s most iconic destinations, Pinehurst Resort has announced that Pinehurst No. 4 will be closed throughout the summer. The reason? Unsuccessful efforts to recover its greens.
Despite several attempts to rejuvenate the putting surfaces, the course’s conditions have not met the resort’s high standards. As a result, officials have opted for a complete green restoration to ensure Pinehurst No. 4 returns to peak playability and world-class form.
The closure is a major move for a course that frequently attracts tourists, golf fans, and competitive events. No. 4, redesigned by Gil Hanse in 2018, has become a favorite alongside its legendary neighbor, Pinehurst No. 2.
While disappointing for summer visitors, the restoration signals Pinehurst’s commitment to excellence — and when it reopens, No. 4 promises to be better than ever.
Stay tuned for reopening dates and renovation updates from the cradle of American golf.
