From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Talamore Country Club is an 18-hole private golf course located in Ambler, Pennsylvania, approximately 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Opened in 1995, the course was designed by owner Bob Levy and Architect Rees Jones and is part of the Talamore Family of Clubs. It is known for its "low country" design, featuring expansive wetlands and sod-faced bunkers, which provide a distinctive aesthetic in the Pennsylvania region.[1]
Talamore Country Club was established in 1995 on the site of the former Oak Terrace Country Club, incorporating elements of the property's early 20th-century mansion and stables into its ambiance.[2] According to the club, the course was named one of the "Best New Private Courses in the Country" by Golf Digest in 1995.[2]
