This article is for subscribers only.
Pinehurst Resort will close its No. 2 course, which hosted the U.S. Open in 1999 and 2005, for four months as part of a renovation aimed at more closely reflecting the original design.
Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore’s design company will strip all 26 acres of rough, leaving No. 2 with two lengths of grass -- fairway and green. The course will close Nov. 16 until March.
