About this course
Longleaf Golf & Family Club sits just outside the Village of Pinehurst in Southern Pines, North Carolina, on land that was once Starland Farms, a thoroughbred horse training facility.
The course was designed by Dan Maples and later renovated by architect Bill Bergin, with a front nine laid out in a Scottish open style over subtly rolling fairways and a back nine that is more heavily tree-lined and dramatically elevated. Remnants of the old horse track and fencing remain incorporated into the grounds as a nod to the property's history.
Longleaf operates as a semi-private club that welcomes non-member play, and it is also the birthplace of the Longleaf Tee System, which scales play across seven sets of tees for golfers of different abilities. The course plays to par 72 over 18 holes.

Talamore Golf Club
Southern Pines, NC · 0.6 mi away
Talamore is a Rees Jones design in Southern Pines, built on sandy Sandhills ground about eight miles from the Pinehurst campus. It opened in 1991 along the Midland Road corridor, in the wave of resort-era courses that filled the area at the time. The layout runs through rolling pine-lined corridors on the region's native sand base, with the bunkering and green contouring characteristic of Jones's work. A remastering project has since reworked the greens and playing corridors. Its position among neighbouring Sandhills layouts makes it a natural pairing on a multi-course stay.
Pinehurst No. 9
Pinehurst, NC · 1.4 mi away
Pinehurst No. 9 is a resort course located about three miles from the main Pinehurst clubhouse in the North Carolina Sandhills, set among longleaf pines near Southern Pines. It opened in 1989 as the privately owned National Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus, and was purchased by Pinehurst Resort in 2014 and renamed. It is the only Nicklaus design among Pinehurst's course lineup. The layout features wide, tree-lined fairways, undulating bentgrass greens, and water hazards rather than the sand waste areas common on other Sandhills courses, playing to a par of 72 over roughly 7,100 yards from the back tees with five sets of tees for varying abilities. Guests reach the course via a complimentary resort shuttle or by driving themselves, and it is generally recommended as a second or third round on a Pinehurst trip rather than a first. As of this writing the course is closed for renovation, with reopening planned for August 2026.
Pinehurst No. 6
Pinehurst, NC · 1.4 mi away
Pinehurst No. 6 is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course at Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina, designed by George and Tom Fazio and opened in 1979. Tom Fazio renovated the course in 2005, adding bunkers and native wiregrass. It measures 7,053 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 74.7 and a slope of 139. The layout is more open and links-influenced than Pinehurst's tree-lined courses, set on rolling terrain with views across the property. It was the first Pinehurst course not designed by Donald Ross.
