Talamore Golf Resort

Been paying Talamore for more than 15 years and conditions were worst I've experienced there. Collars recently resodded so rough and shaggy, greens filled with bare spots, wet fairway areas from drainage problems. Won't be back anytime soon. Spend your money at Legacy not far away.

Choose the correct tee box to get the most enjoyment out of your round. Course is challenging yet fair. Will play this again when I am in Pinehurst. Great value for the area and pace of play was very good

The course was in good condition, however, some of the greens had blight on some of the surfaces. Greens were bumby (not overly so). Tee to green was in good condition. Pace of play good. Brother played with me - he got his first Hole-in-One on I think #6, too bad I wagered him, he shot excellent. Started was good, clubhouse good. Was getting ready to play Pinehurst #4 and #2 over the weekend needed a good priced similiar course set-up, this worked.

My friend and I played the blue tees and the course was in good shape, it has been in better shape but we've had a lot of rain lately. Was definitely worth the $39 that golf now sold it for. Our pace of play was great it took us three and a half hours to play 18 holes.

Love this course & it's sister course, Mid South Club. Must plays when in the Ponehurst area.

Have been playing Talamore since it opened. Had the rate not been $49 due to summer season I would have complained about the 4 hour and 50 minute round with a starting time of 8:30, and the very poor condition of more than half the greens. Some kind of mold or disease left numerous bare spots. Don't know how long this will take to repair but buyer beware when the rates go up in September. This is a great track I hope they get this straightened out.

Pros: Cart girl was nice and the water on the course seemed fresh. Hot dog at the turn was delicious.

Cons: where to begin? Greens were uneven and unmowed. Collars were dead (and they looked like they were recently sodded) and playing through them was like playing through velcro. Tee boxes and fairways were bare. They couldn't even be bothered to cut fresh holes. Pace of play was horrible -- waiting on EVERY shot.

Choose Talamore because we've always had a nice time there and the conditions always maintained. But this time we feel ripped off, even at the golf now discounted rate. And not even a word of apology or caution from the staff. Fool me once . . . in a group planning to play there later in the summer and I will suggest to our leaders that we demand a refund.

Played the day before at Whispering Woods -- a fun little course for half the price and in fine shape. Talamore should be ashamed of asking for full price and delivering a dog patch.

Course was very poorly maintained. It appeared that they had cut back on their maintenance of the golf course.

First time to play this course. Great course to play for any skilled golfer. Fantastic day! Would recommend this course to anyone. Will definitely play here again.

course was in ok shape. If u have to experience Gene in the pro shop good luck he is a straight up jerk. Never been treated like that ever before anywhere. Talked to the general manager and he apologized for him. Cart guy said I was not the first person to complain about him. Not sure why they keep him around.

We enjoyed the course but the greens were slow and sand was all over them.

The resort course was in excellent condition overall. A few greens had some issues but didn't effect me. A nice variety of rolling terrain and some long carries. I played at 1:40 by myself so obviously pace of play was perfect. Very nice practice range off natural turf and it also was in very good shape. I live in Raleigh so this was about an hours drive and well worth it. Really want to play it again. Staff was really friendly. Again a well designed course with challenges / my type of course. I am a 3 handicap and played the blue tees.

This course used to be touted as one of the finest in the Pinehurst area. Now it's one of the worst. It was always annoying that it seemed to be designed for slow play. With long distances between greens and the next tee, it isn't practice to walk. And fencies blocking access to many fairways make them "cart path only" even in perfect weather, so you wait while the group in front sheleps across the fairway, hoping they brought the right clubs. And the parking areas are as far as 70yds from green centers, several in front of the green. All adds up to a slow round.

But, the group in front will have a chance to clear the way while you three put on the greens that all have huge areas where they have lost their turf and you can try to put through sand painted green (every green and large areas).

Couple this with an arrogant staff that act like they are doing you a favor by letting you play and it makes for an unpleasant experience.

Having played Talamore on many occasions, I have always marvelled at its beauty and challenge ( probably the toughest starting hole I've ever played). My only disappointment this trip was the condition of many of the greens that had patches of disease. A real shame! Otherwise it was great to play there with my wife, and I will play there again, if they don't price themselves too high.

I played this course on 4/5/2105. I have no idea who maintains this course but it needs help. About half the greens had bald spots that were covered with a green sand/grass mixture. The bunkers need more sand, you'll more than likely skull your wedge shots out of there. The regular spring rate for this course is $115 for a weekend round. Until this course gets in shape, I would find a better deal....

My son and I played the course and both loved it. We will certainly play it again. The staff were friendly and helpful. A few of the greens had bad patches but overall the course was in great shape.

Can't add much to what the others have said. We played just after a rain, so the ground was soggy. Greens were in sad shape; most of them had multiple areas where they had tried to repair winterkill. Greens were shaggy and slow Nice layout, both clubhouse and course. Do play it when the greens have healed.

Lots of elevation changes and more sand than the beach. The greens are the worst I've played on in this area. Definitely not worth the price when you have to take relief on every green. The rest of the course seemed to be maintained well. Friendly staff and nice layout.

Great track, Course was in good shape even though it's a bit early, They had snow 3 weeks ago! Greens had been puched about 4 weeks ago and were still healing. Putted a little slow, but the starter gave up the heads up and we had a great time! Awesome Value.

The course layout is very good. It's tough and has many traps and hills. The problem we encountered were the greens. They were in pretty bad shape. It appears they had many problems with them due to the weather. I would probably play it again but only after the greens have been corrected.
