The long-range vision for Old Shores, the ambitious destination golf resort being developed on Florida’s Panhandle by Michael Keiser Jr., is coming into clearer focus—and it extends well beyond the single championship course that’s begun construction. Keiser has detailed plans that call for four additional layouts to complement the first 18 (designed by Tom Doak with lead associate Angela Moser), eventually creating a five-course public destination spread across more than 4,000 acres of remarkably varied terrain.
The courses will span a wide spectrum of architecture, terrain, and purpose. There’s a second full-length 18 to be designed by Brian Schneider and inspired by Augusta National, a regulation 9-hole course modeled (in some respects) after the celebrated Dunes Club in Michigan, a 12-hole “precision course” in the mold of The Commons at Sand Valley, and a par-3 course designed for short-form play and social golf. It is a diverse lineup that encapsulates the Keiser family’s belief in variety, innovation, walkability, and multiple ways for golfers—all golfers—to experience a special piece of land.

A bit delayed…
The final match and winners at the 2024 Renaissance Cup. @pinehurstresort has been an amazing host, as you would expect hosting a few tournaments this year.
No.10 played fantastic which has been a huge accomplishment of @dswhisenant and team.
Many smiles and a lot of golf being played. Thanks everyone for a beautiful Cup.

Episode 44 is now live! Really excited to share this week’s episode with @mosergolf . Angela is part of the team at Renaissance Golf Design and has worked on projects here in NZ such as shaping the North Course at Te Arai Links, and helping in the restoration project at Cape Kidnappers. Angela also has recently completed her first Lead Associate role on Pinehurst number 10, which opened earlier this year. I thoroughly enjoyed Angela’s insight into her work here in NZ and her thoughts on our golf courses. Enjoy! Background 📸 @ricky_robinson
I’ve been waiting for the World Hall of Fame to open ever since my first site visit for No.10. It’s a truly magnificent display of the greatest of the game. And I am especially grateful that not just outstanding and memorable players make it into the display, but my heroes of GCA. Sometimes it is hard to find something on them, but I was impressed how many of the old books that barely survived were displayed. Very cool and a must on your next Pinehurst visit. #golfhalloffame
I had a short walk-through on #pinehurstno10 this afternoon before the rain got too hard.
The first picture shows the tee shot on hole 9 from the forward tee. I love the angle from there but also the fact that you see those bunkers that encroach into the fairway.
Hole 13 is always worth a picture. The cross-native area is pinching in on the second shot.
And then there is hole 14… the long debate about par. Once a short par 4 that used to cape to where the halfway house is now located. Now, playing across and against the foot of one of the sand mining bumps. It will be a good test, but it's all downhill… and the green… let's say @doakgolf had some serious fun on the dozer
One more month before y’all 😉 be able to play it. The greens keeping crew is working their butts off to make the opening date. Remember, that the greens aren’t even a year old 😅 what an incredible team effort!
