Talamore and Mid South Golf Resort

This course was wonderful. The tee boxes are level, fairway grass is perfect. Greens are fast, hole placement was liked somebody was very upset about working Thanksgiving morning and took it out by putting the holes in the most ridiculous impossible places. Overall this was a great course.

Great course however the marshals red to push pace of play on heavy traffic days. We quit early because it was taking 25 to 30 min to play a hole.

My wife and I played Talamore today and thoroughly enjoyed our round. The course was in great condition and the pace of play was exceptional. We’d highly recommend you consider adding this to your play list, next time you visit Pinehurst.

Well maintained golf course and fun layout with opportunities to score.

My parents live down in Pinehurst. I have visited 12 or more times over the past decade to the area. I play every time...but never played this course. Got a good deal on Masters Saturday. Was a great time, course is very nicely set up. longish but not killer. I will return. Absolutely

Great course layout with a lot of fun holes. The courses was in great shape but played a little slow. I would definitely go back.

great condition, some tricky doglegs and excellent par 3's

This was the final course of a six round Pinehurst trip. We certainly saved the best till last. While this isn’t a classic “Pinehurst / Donald Ross” style layout (it’s an Arnold Palmer / Ed Seay course), it was our favourite by a mile.

We we worried about other reviewers who had suggested that the rangers hassled them over pace of play (even when they weren’t slow), however, for us the experience was wonderful. The starter was very helpful and informative and we actually got away 10 minutes ahead of our scheduled time. We saw the ranger several times during the round, however as we were able to play in 4hrs we had no issues.

Course layout was exceptional and course conditions just as good.

We will definitely play this course again during our next Pinehurst trip.

First off this morning after a frost delay and got around in just over three hours.Holes 10-14 are kind of forgettable, but otherwise, Mid South is a fun course! It’s a great contrast to some other courses in the area!

We were camping in Jackson Springs and decided to play a round of golf. Mid South was on the top of the list so we tried her out. Really beautiful course, tee box, fairways and greens in great shape. Six holes of water and large sand bunkers, adding challenge to the course. Highly recommend trying the course! Staff were all super friendly as well!!, On hole five, we had a bald eagle grace us with a flyby, wished I had my phone then, but still just another sight to see!

Couldn’t speak higher about my experience both on and off the course here at Mid South..

Course conditions in mid-October were fantastic, greens were in great shape and rolling well, layout was challenging yet fair, 4 hour pace of play, and the staff was extremely friendly. I booked my round through Golf Now and can’t wait to play it again on my next trip through Pinehurst/Southern Pines.

After my round...I realized I had left an iron somewhere on course and when I called the club back, the level of hospitality Bryce offered in returning the club to me was without question the best customer service I’ve ever had. Bryce went out of his way to personally deliver the club back to me (in Charlotte) where he just so happened to be going to a few short days later. My 9-iron is back in my bag and they made a lifetime guest out of me.

Do yourself a favor and experience this great track for yourself.

My thoughts going into Talamore was that it was going to be a “typical” resort course and really not pose any strategic decisions. I thought it would be more flash (the deep pot bunkers) and not as much substance. I was proven wrong very quickly. I started on the back 9 and let me tell you, that is a fun and excellent 9 holes of golf. Every tee shot gives you options, and the greens are intriguing in their slopes and angles. The bunkers are placed in perfect spots for the holes and really come into the decision making.

Since we played the front 9 second, I was already sold on the golf course when we played what I considered to be the weakest stretch of the course. Holes 1, 3, and to an extent 4 give you a very soft opening and not a whole lot of decision making. If I had started on this nine, I would have held to my “typical” resort feel for a bit longer. But that gradually starts to change, and by the 6th hole, the golf course really picks up again I think. 7-9 are a great closing stretch of solid par 4s, each with its own challenge and visual appeal.

The conditions of the course are excellent with very little else to be desired. Being nit picky, maybe a couple tee boxes weren’t cut low enough, and the occasional crab grass patch was found (these didn’t affect play at all and very few in number). Besides that, the fairways were perfect lies every time, the rough was fair, the greens true, and the bunkers perfect.

I really enjoyed my round at Talamore and had a lot of fun. I would have no hesitation playing it again. I suggest you play Talamore if you’re considering it. You will not be disappointed.

What can I say? Lou is a rose among thorns, lol wait that was what he told me? Lol he’s great and so friendly. It’s great to have people love their work and it reflects a great attitude of the club. There are so many choices for golf in the Pinehurst area but we would come back just because of how friendly everyone was to us. Course was in great shape, and interesting lay out. I need to play again to pick some better shots and nail some more of those elevated greens. Greens were tough for me, got the speed down after a few holes but couldn’t get many to drop. Love this course and can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely great round of golf. The layout and shot looks are challenging but not backbreaking. The greens are VERY big - hitting them in regulation is not as important as being in the right spots. Truly loved the course. Only ding was no water coolers and no beverage cart. Have to get what you want before 1st, Halfway and after 18.

It was packed and pace was really slow...over 5 hours...not much help from the rangers but there was not a lot they could do with that many on the course. Course was in pretty good shape. My Team clearly preferred the back 9 layout. I've played courses all over the US and this was not a $130 dollar course.,..at best a $50 dollar course. Understand this was "season" time in Pinehurst but this course was over priced. Would consider playing again but not at the $130 rate.

Excellent "classic" design course amongst the pines. Played in very wet condition(cart path only) but course conditions held up well.

Wonderful day. Would come back and play again any time.
