I’m gearing up for a trip to Pinehurst No. 2 and I’m curious about the greens fees. I understand it’s a top-tier course, but I’d love to get some insights on the following:

  • Current Fees: What are the greens fees right now? Are there any peak and off-peak rates?
  • Discounts: Are there any discounts or packages available? Maybe stay-and-play deals or discounts for certain times of the year?
  • Comparisons: How do the fees compare to similar courses?
  • Overall Value: For those who’ve played there, do you think the experience justifies the cost? Was it worth it?

I’m looking for as much feedback as possible to see if this course fits into my budget and travel plans. Thanks for any insights you can share!

I’ve played Pinehurst No. 2, and while the greens fees are higher than some regional courses, the unique experience and course layout justify the cost to me.

I totally agree! The history of Pinehurst No. 2 adds so much value to the round. I’ve seen greens fees at nearby public courses that don’t even compare.

Are we really expecting Pinehurst No. 2 to be priced the same as local municipal courses? The quality speaks for itself.

Exactly! But it would be nice to see some discounts. Every bit helps if you’re bringing a group.

I played last year, and they offered a package deal during the off-season which was pretty reasonable. Highly recommend checking their website for deals!

Good tip! I wonder if they’ll have similar promotions this fall.

Pinehurst No. 2 is legendary, but I think some folks find the fees hard to swallow. How do they stack up against courses like Pine Needles or Tobacco Road?

In comparison, Tobacco Road can be around $100 during peak season. I’d argue Pinehurst’s quality does warrant the extra cost considering the maintenance and history.

Very true. But I also think it’s priced as a luxury experience. Some won’t consider it worth it.

These greens are challenging! You get what you pay for in terms of course conditions if you ask me.

12

True! But sometimes it feels as if you’re paying for prestige more than the actual golf experience.

Hey, I’d pay extra for the chance to putt on those famous greens! Just hope my putting game is up to par…no pun intended!

14

Haha! Agreed! Just need to avoid getting in my own head about those fees, right?

I’ve played Pinehurst No. 2 a few times, and while the greens fees are high, the course conditions are top-notch. The meticulous upkeep really adds to the experience.

I agree! It’s not just about hitting the course; it’s about the history and prestige that comes with it. But is it worth the price for every golfer?

The caddies at Pinehurst are incredibly knowledgeable. Their insights can make the game more enjoyable, but that doesn’t necessarily justify the greens fees for everyone.

I had a great experience with the staff too! Everyone was friendly and accommodating. That level of service definitely makes the greens fees feel less steep.

Exactly! But how do we measure that against the cost? Is it just about feeling good or the actual golf experience?

While the ambiance is incredible, I’d still love to hear from others. Are there any deal-breakers that made the cost feel unjustified?
