Dormie Club Golf Course
Dormie Club is a Semi-Private 18-hole golf course located in west End / Pinehurst, North Carolina.
The Dormie Club Golf Course opened in 2010. The course was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.
At Dormie, Crenshaw and Coore have designed a walking golf course just 4.5 miles north of the Village of Pinehurst on more than 300 rolling acres of land with 100-foot elevation changes, two natural lakes, and hardwood and pine forests, with no housing or roadways ever within this rather large golf course property. The designe of the Dormie Club is a throwback to the Golden Age of Golf Design philosophy of wide corridors and multiple angles to the green."
After acquiring 1,000 acres in December 2007, out of which the Dormie golf course and areas for residential subdivision were carved, the developers of Dormie decided to proceed with building and completing construction of the golf course despite the recession. The original goal of the Dormie Club was to offer an invitation-only, private membership; however, upon completion of the golf course in mid-2010, Dormie decided to take non-member play as well as member play thru December 2012, after which the Club will revert back to a fully private Club.
The par 71 course can play 6,984 yards, but has only 68 acres of managed grass. The balance of the site is maintained in natural sand “floorsâ€, wire grasses, pine trees and vegetation native to the Sandhills region
