Pinehurst No. 2 is holding the U.S. Open for the fourth time dating to 1999. What follows is a hole-by-hole description of the course. It remains mostly the same from the last U.S. Open in 2014. It's actually a few yards shorter. The biggest change is the grass. The greens were a bent grass in 2014. Now it's changed to ultradwarf bermudagrass.

FILE - Payne Stewart celebrates after winning the U.S. Open golf championship at Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, N.C., June 20, 1999. The U.S. Open returns to Pinehurst for the fourth time, June 13-16, 2024. FILE - Martin Kaymer, of Germany, putts on the 13th hole during the third round of the U.S. Open golf tournament in Pinehurst, N.C., Saturday, June 14, 2014. The U.S. Open returns to Pinehurst on June 13-16, 2024. The course is renowned for its sandy dunes and turtleback greens.

This played as a par 5 in the first two U.S. Opens. Now it’s the longest par 4 on the front nine, though it’s manageable because of the downhill tee shot. It bends slightly to the left off the tee, with bunkers on each side of the landing area and the natural, sandy look down both sides. The large green is receptive to a long iron, though a bunker protects the left side. The pitch of the green is from right to left.The hole features a dogleg to the left at the end.
