In the hierarchy of the state's top ten golf courses, positions are slow to change. In 2000, Pinehurst No. 2 and the Old North State Club continue their first and second place rankings. However, in the next eight positions, courses change rankings or drop off the list, while new courses make an appearance. Rankings were determined by balloting by the NORTH CAROLINA magazine Golf Panel.
