Carolina Sandhills Golf Art

Sand, longleaf pine and wiregrass in the heart of North Carolina.

The Sandhills of North Carolina are known for one golf destination above all, and Linda Hartough's prints from the region are of Pinehurst: No. 2 and the rebuilt No. 4.

The Sandhills of North Carolina are a band of rolling, deep sand in the middle of the state. The soil is too thin for most farming, but it drains quickly, supports longleaf pines and native wiregrass, and makes firm, fast ground for golf.

Golf in the Sandhills looks the way it does because of the sand. Fairways are framed by open, sandy waste areas dotted with wiregrass and pine straw rather than by rough, and the ball runs on firm ground. Ross built his greens crowned, so that they shed shots toward tightly mown slopes and hollows, an idea often traced to the plateau greens of Dornoch. In 2010 and 2011 Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw restored No. 2 to that look, and Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner rebuilt No. 4 in the same spirit in 2018.

Choosing a Sandhills print

Look for the sandy waste areas and pines that define the region in the 5th and the 16th and 17th of No. 2, both canvas giclées. The 2014 9th comes on canvas or fine art paper, and the 18th of No. 2 is a 12"x30" panoramic canvas.

#5 Pinehurst No. 2

The 5th is a hole that tests every facet of a golfer’s skill while showcasing the timeless beauty of Pinehurst No. 2. With a gently curving fairway framed by sandy waste areas and native wiregrass, precision off the tee is essential. The approach shot is no less demanding, as the green – one of Donald Ross’s signature crowned designs – repels anything less than perfect.
