GOLF COURSES
GOLF COURSES
PINE NEEDLES GOLF CLUB
Ranked #4 in Top 100 Golf Courses in North Carolina
Pine Needles’ award-winning golf course is the first in the nation to be awarded four U.S. Women’s Open Championships. Named the #4 golf course in the state by Golfweek, the course was designed by the legendary Donald Ross in 1927, and meticulously restored by Kyle Franz in 2017.
Donald Ross provided generous fairways and challenging green sites. There are strong elevation changes throughout the course yet is very walkable. The course has been lengthened from its original routing but still provides an intimate routing with short distances between tees and greens. Wayward shots will likely find a bed of pine needles to rest on; much like the backyards of virtually every home found on the course.
MID PINES GOLF CLUB
Ranked #8 in Top 100 Golf Courses in North Carolina
The Mid Pines golf course remains exactly as Donald Ross crafted the course in 1921, a rarity among his masterpieces. Impeccably manicured to modern standards, Mid Pines is a classic gem that has played host to many national competitions including the 2002 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.
Many people have characterized the course as “pure Donald Ross” because of how it fits the land where it was built. It’s been said that Mid Pines was never conceived as a daunting task to the finest players competing under championship conditions, but rather the course was intended as a fun course, but with sufficient challenge for members, guests and professionals.
SOUTHERN PINES GOLF CLUB
Ranked #40 in Top 100 Golf Courses in North Carolina
Southern Pines opened as a 9 hole course in 1906. Donald Ross did extensive work and completed all 18 holes in 1914. Although it is typically not as "manicured" in and around the course as other resort courses, Southern Pines is an original Donald Ross design and certainly on our list of must play courses.
The unending appeal of this course is the succession of one fine hole after another, this being the direct result of Ross's elegant routing of the tract over the rolling, sandy hills. Walter Hagen, Patty Berg and Sam Snead have all played here and enjoyed the challenge.
Neither length nor water are factors to contend with, nor is there anything forced or contrived about the course. Every hole features at least 20 feet of elevation change so it remains interesting throughout the round. Many greens sit on the high points of a hole, allowing Ross to create deep greenside bunkers.
TALAMORE GOLF CLUB
Talamore Golf Club was designed by Rees Jones and entered the Pinehurst arena in 1991. With more than 150 feet of elevation change, wetlands, lakes and towering longleaf pines, Jones fashioned a truly exceptional golf course.
The course has garnered many awards, including Top 100 Courses in America, North Carolina Golf Course of the Year, Top Five New Courses and Best New Golf Course in the South by Golf Digest.
The golf course has undergone a recent restoration that has dramatically upgraded the playing experience. Always a great Rees Jones layout, the greens were restored to the original 1991 design, with the new Champion Bermuda putting surfaces provide significantly better putting conditions than their bent grass predecessors. The club has added strategically placed, Scottish-style sod walled bunkers around the course, the only course in the Pinehurst area with this style bunkering.
THE MID SOUTH CLUB
Always in great condition, and part of a private gated community, Arnold Palmer’s Mid South Club became part of the Talamore Resort family in 2004. The King would be proud. Since taking ownership, Talamore Resorts has added a beautiful new clubhouse, pool and tennis facilities and the Mid South Lodges to this 600 acre gated golf course community.
Rolling hills gently sweep you up and down on a course that Palmer routed wonderfully, making the most of the large acreage to build one of the best layouts in the Pinehurst area.
