Pinehurst Plays Host to Inaugural PGA Amateur Event

By
Real Estate Agent with The Pines Realty

The PGA's first ever amateur best-ball event, the McGladrey Team Championship, is coming to the Pinehurst Resort September 10-12. This "National Championship" event is the culmination of a series of 2007 local and sectional championships, and features a $200,000 guaranteed purse.

Three of Pinehurt's most recognized courses will challenge the field: Course's #8, #6 and the famous Donald Ross #2. Course #8, the Centennial Course, opened in 1996 and was designed by Tom Fazio. It's a 72-par course and measures almost 7,100 yds. from the back tees. The 450 acre Course #8 is perhaps the most scenic Pinehurst course, with hilly terrain and spectacular views. Course #6, recently redesigned by Fazio in 2005, plays to just over 7,000 yards. The signature, Donald Ross designed, Course #2, known for its challenging greens will challenge the groups on the final day.
