Golf courses at Talamore Golf Resort
The New Course at Talamore and the Mid-South Course are two of the finest courses in North Carolina.
Designed by Rees Jones in 1991, The New Course at Talamore is a fine example of the golf on offer in the Sandhills area; towering pines, wetlands, lakes, and wastelands, plus elevation changes of over 150 feet. After a significant renovation in 2016, Talamore’s greens were restored to their original size and upgraded with Champion bermudagrass, delivering some of the finest putting surfaces in the region.
Arnold Palmer designed the course at Mid-South Club in 1993 and it is one of his finest. Recent work in 2017 saw all the greens converted to Champion bermudagrass, making them as good as any in the area. The course works its way through the towering pines, wetlands, numerous lakes, and significant elevation changes throughout the 18-holes. They like to do things ‘big’ at Mid-South – big greens, big fairways, big bunkers, and even big rocks like those sat in front of the 9th and 18th greens.

Did you know?
Talamore Golf Resort isn’t just known for its incredible golf – it’s also home to a fun tradition that sets it apart: llamas! Originally introduced as caddies in the 1990s, these friendly llamas quickly became a beloved part of the Talamore experience. While they no longer carry golf bags, they’re still a popular sight around the resort, offering guests a unique photo opportunity and adding a memorable touch to your visit.
Signature Holes at Talamore Golf Resort
The 16th hole at Talamore is one of the most challenging on the course. This long par-4 plays uphill, flanked by thick pine forests the entire way. To make par, you’ll need to avoid the deep pot bunker lurking just left of the green.
At Mid-South, the par-4 16th is often considered the signature hole, with water in play and a visually stunning approach shot. The finishing holes on both the front and back nines (9th and 18th) are also unique, featuring a shared double-green for an added twist to your round.

The New Course
Designed by Rees Jones in 1991, The New Course at Talamore is a fine example of golf in the Sandhills area; towering pines, wetlands, lakes, and wastelands, plus elevation changes of over 150 feet. Following a rejuvenation process in 2016, greens were restored to their original size, and Champion bermudagrass was introduced, bringing Talamore’s putting surfaces in line with some of the best in the area. Fairways were widened and 12 sod wall bunkers reminiscent of those in Scotland were added.
Mid South Course
Palmer designed the course at Mid-South Club in 1993 and it is one of his finest. Recent work in 2017 saw all the greens converted to Champion bermuda grass, making them as good as any in the area. The course works its way through the towering pines. Wetlands, numerous lakes, and significant elevation changes are encountered throughout the 18-holes. They do things ‘big’ at Mid-South – big greens, big fairways, big bunkers, and even big rocks like those sat in front of the 9th and 18th greens.
