United States · Championship Golf
Two Carolina championship courses about four hours apart, and the wind is what sets them apart. The Ocean Course sits on a barrier island south of Charleston with the sea in view the whole round and nothing between you and it, so the forecast has decided your day before you tee off. Pinehurst No. 2 is inland in the sandhills, sheltered by pines and hardly ever blown about, so its difficulty is fixed and it lives in the greens. Play Kiawah if you want the sea and you'll take whatever the day hands you. Play Pinehurst if you want the test to be the same for everyone.
