The course will be closed from May 19 through August 6 for the repairs.

“Earlier this spring, based on input from agronomy experts, we were optimistic the greens would recover from a challenging winter,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, conditions have not improved. A recent follow-up report confirmed that the greens require a complete restoration.”

Course officials said that if you are visiting Pinehurst this summer and your trip includes a round on the No. 4 course, you will be reassigned to another course.

The resort recently held the U.S. Open on Pinehurst No. 2 last summer.
