Just a great course. If you can't get no2 then number 8 is a masterpiece. Precision is needed but somehow it's also a little forgiving at times. I was blessed to be able to play here and when I'm in this neck of the woods again I will do what I can to play here again. Club houses are amazing and the cart girls are great!! I forgot how much I miss the southern accent.

One of the best golf courses you will ever play! It may not have the prestige of its brethren No. 2, but once it gets a few big tournaments under its belt, it will build a reputation of its own! If I'm not mistaken, it is a Fazio course. That name speaks for itself.

Really enjoyed No.8 at Pinehurst. There is more variety to the holes here with water hazzards, elevation changes and forced carries. Like the othe Pinehurst courses, conditions were immaculate even with the number of golfers they host. Greens were fast and breaks were subtle, requiring a careful read. No. 8 is forgiving off the tee but you still need to pick the best line to set up the approach shot. Most holes were visable from the tee but for those blind shot holes, they have a nifty camera system to view the fairway to ensure the group in front is clear. My round felt slow but toom us 4:15, maybe because the other rounds too under 4 hours and we had to wait more often on the tee box this round. Pl8te in the clubhouse is worthy for a post-round meal. The fried chicken plate was tasty.

Fantastic course. Played March 11th and although Bermuda was still dormant and brown the course was still beautiful and a fun one to play. Good mixture of holes, with water only coming into play on one or two holes. Greens are pure as can be and would definitely be a good addition to any Pinehurst trip!

Really nice course, quite different than the other courses (2 & 4). Practice range is nice, as is the putting green and gave a pretty good indication of the on course greens. Building was under renovation so didn't get to see the dining room, but the pro shop recently reopened and is well stocked. The course is definitely challenging and worth venturing away from the 1-5 course facility to play it.
