#853-The Cradle (9) & Thistle Dhu Putting Course at Pinehurst 6/23/21

I've played many Short and Putting courses around the world but none as busy as this 2017 Gil Hanse design. You got 8somes of players relaxing after the days round and families with the kids having fun listening to the music. This is a wonderful use of this parcel and an excellent way to grow the game of golf. The Cradle costs $50 for an all day pass. If your are ambitious you could get in 432 holes, like the daily record holder. It took me about 45 minutes to get around so you could play 144 holes easy if you had nothing else to do. I had already played 18 so one walking loop was all my foot could tolerate. The Thistle Dhu was lots of fun with some of the most impossible pin placements. The only way to get some putts close was to make it, if not you ended up a long ways away. If in the Pinehurst area and have a few hours stop by and tour the history in the clubhouse, play The Cradle, and sharpen your putting game on Thistle Dhu. GOLD rated.
