In our third installment of Level Select, we're talking to Pinehurst No. 2 at the Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina, a Donald Ross masterpiece that has hosted everything from U.S. Opens to amateur championships. Joining us is Nick Bonilla of Bev Boys Golf, to share why No. 2 is his favorite golf course and why Pinehurst is the best place to take a golf trip.

We open with Nick's first impressions of Pinehurst and how it compares to the lofty expectations that surround it. Pinehurst No. 2 isn’t flashy—it’s elegant, understated, and relentless in the best way. Then, we take a look at Reviews of Reviews, discussing what stands out and what might surprise visitors including some people grasping for straws to write 1-star reviews. And to close it out Nick picks out 3 tests from the Must Play grading rubric that highlight the course’s standout features and on whether it’s worth the hype, the travel, and the price tag.

Whether you’ve got a trip to Pinehurst on the books or you’re just dreaming about walking those legendary fairways, this episode gives you a full look into what it’s like to experience No. 2 with good friends, a cold drink, and some honest takes.
