Tobacco Road Golf Course

Tobacco Road Golf Course

From the starting tee, you get a flavour of what to anticipate as you peer longingly from the raised tee to the fairway below, which boasts two enormous burrows squeezing the fairway down and generating a blind second shot unless pinpoint accuracy is used off the tee. A second ridge and pinch point is discovered beyond the first, but more often than not prevents the view to the green. Through most of your round, you’re going to compete with some desert sized bunkers, some imposed carries over giant obstacles, some ferocious putts, several elevation changes, and the most fun that you can experience on a golf course. The condition of this wonderful courses is always great, and there’s actually more forgiveness over the course than the eyes allow you to see.

Whilst the fairway landing areas can be deceptively generous the fact that you are hitting blind on many shots will either add to your enjoyment or question the quality of this otherwise magnificent test of golf. Approach shots to well-protected greens can be as equally challenging and a Strokesaver course guide is money well spent at the one and only, Tobacco Road.

Tobacco Road is the most extraordinary course you will ever play. There are more “wow” elements on the course than the rest of North Carolina ‘s golf courses combined. It’s literally one signature hole after the other.

Although this course will favour the more adept golfer and many of the tee shots will no doubt terrify the higher handicap golfer, the overall yardage is short for a course in the Carolina’s at a little over 6,000 yards. This course is a must-play golf course on your next golf break to Pinehurst.
