Project Details

Pinehurst Resort, LLC proudly announced the launch of its latest masterpiece, Pinehurst #10, marking the resort’s first expansion in almost thirty years. This new course, envisioned by the acclaimed designer Tom Doak, integrates seamlessly with the natural topography of North Carolina, showcasing native wiregrass, panoramic landscapes, and remarkable elevation variances reaching 75 feet. Beyond introducing an exceptional golf course, this extensive project also included critical infrastructure developments such as new access roads, a railroad crossing, and essential facilities including a Pro Shop, Maintenance Building, and Halfway House.

To execute this ambitious undertaking, CT Wilson selected Fred Smith Company for the infrastructure component, which entailed extensive land preparation over 30 acres, the establishment of wet utilities, and the construction of roads, sidewalks, and multi-use pathways. Despite the initial projection of a one-year timeline for completion from the subcontract issuance in September 2023, a request was made to expedite the project. Encouraged by Pinehurst Resorts and CT Wilson, Fred Smith Company committed to an accelerated deadline of April 3, 2024, to ensure the course’s readiness ahead of the 2024 US Open. This revised schedule represented a significant challenge, considering the scope of work and numerous design adjustments during the construction process.

Fred Smith Company, leveraging its dedicated project teams across various specialties—surveying, utilities, grading, and paving—successfully met the revised April 2024 deadline. This accomplishment was met with accolades from both Pinehurst Resorts and CT Wilson, demonstrating Fred Smith Company’s adeptness at managing complex projects within tight deadlines. The collaboration among Fred Smith Company’s teams, the CT Wilson Management Team, and the Pinehurst Resort Team was key in realizing the vision of a world-class golf destination.

This project’s successful completion, characterized by stellar performance and adherence to a tight schedule, opens doors to future opportunities for Fred Smith Company. It highlights the company’s unique ability to undertake and fulfill demanding contracts within narrower time frames than any local competitor, given the project’s scope and the accelerated timeline imposed by the client and general contractor.

Pinehurst #10 is set to be recognized as a leading global golf course, and Fred Smith Company is honored to have played a role in its creation. This involvement ensures that countless golf enthusiasts will enjoy a course that not only offers a competitive edge but also enchants with its careful integration into the surrounding landscape.
