Pinewood Country Club

The hidden beauty of Asheboro, NC. Completely renovated in 1987, this hidden treasure is a true modern day masterpiece. Sitting at just under 7,000 yards, the scoring it truly out there, and the course lacks the defense needed to protect it.

When stepping onto the first tee, you will be greeted with a fairly short dog-leg left, but keep your tee ball to the right side and you will have no issues starting the round on a high note. Take advantage of the short first, because the 2nd hole is much longer and is tree lined from tee to green. You need to take driver, but if you can keep it to the right, you will be able to scramble to victory. The par 5 3rd hole is not too long, but beware, there is a pond located in front of the green that does defend against reaching the par 5 in two. The rest of the front 9 is fairly straight forward, and the defense is lacking until you reach the par 3 8th hole, which is surrounded by water. The miss is long and left, but you have ample room beyond the green. The back nine is fairly simple, and you will be able to reach both par 5s in two shots. Both are located late in the round (at 16 and 18), and aside from the creek in front of the 16th tee, there is nothing really defending these two reach able par 5s. If you care able to find the fairway off of the tee, you will leave yourself with a great opportunity to close out the round in style. In all, I would not pass up on a trip to Pinewood. The course conditions are pristine, the layout is quite modern, and the scoring is clearly there.
