Legacy
Originally crafted by the legendary Nicklaus Design, Legacy Golf Course carries a pedigree that few courses can match. It stands as one of only three courses in the celebrated Pinehurst, Southern Pines, and Aberdeen area to have hosted a USGA National Championship — a distinction that speaks for itself.
And now? Legacy has never been better.
When Legacy joined Talamore Golf Resort as its third course in 2024, it sparked a top-to-bottom transformation that has elevated the entire property to an exciting new level. The course itself has been dramatically reimagined — featuring meticulously rebuilt bunkers, and more than 25 acres of fresh sod that deliver playing conditions worthy of championship distinction. New cart paths and bridges complete the on-course upgrades, ensuring a seamless, premium experience from the first tee to the final hole.
The routing itself has been boldly reshaped. Hole 16 has been converted to a demanding 443-yard par 4, while hole 18 now plays as a sweeping 556-yard par 5 — closing out your round with the kind of drama you’ll be talking about long after you leave. And perhaps most stunning of all, the removal of years of overgrowth and underbrush has unveiled breathtaking vistas that make this course as beautiful as it is challenging.
Introducing The Cub — Coming Spring 2026
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Legacy will debut “The Cub” in spring 2026 — a charming three-hole par-3 loop nestled between the clubhouse and the scenic lake that borders holes 9 and 18. Perfect for a post-round loop for end of the day fun and settling of bets, The Cub promises to become an instant favorite our guests.
A Clubhouse Worth Walking Into
Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the difference. The completely renovated clubhouse interior blends modern sophistication with deep golf heritage. A hand-carved tree trunk counter in the golf shop and restaurant tables set a tone that is both distinctive and warm, while walls adorned with memorabilia celebrating the legendary careers of Palmer and Nicklaus — alongside iconic moments from Sandhills golf history — remind you exactly where you are: at the heart of one of golf’s most storied regions.
Legacy isn’t just a new chapter for Talamore. It’s a must-play when visiting the area.
