Pinehurst No. 9 is a great and beautiful golf course with a great layout and great history. It is a bent grass course, which is different from the other numbered Pinehurst courses. The course is in excellent condition with undulating fairways and tiered greens. It is considered the easiest of the numbered courses, offering a nice break from the more challenging others. There are a lot of houses around, giving it a Florida course feel. The club offers fantastic food and service with incredible views, and the staff is very nice. It is highly recommended.
