Talamore and Mid South Golf Resort

Haven't played at Talamore in a couple of years, since before the renovations. Absolutely LOVE the new greens and bunkers. Problem with new greens, though no fault of the course, is that they are so firm they are impossible to hold a shot making for a miserable playing experience. In time this course is going to be OUTSTANDING when greens soften a bit but love the changes, well done. The bag drop / starter gets 5 stars for friendliness and customer service, the tall grump in the proshop I would give a zero if possible. Was checking out course for possible site of our 20 person golf group annual trip next year but would not want to deal with this guy's attitude for 4 days. Rude, unassuming and definitely could care less about customer service. Grill and beverage cart personnel were both GREAT, 5 stars. Once the greens work in and soften a bit, this course will be a must play, but right now you may want to practice chipping on to the parking lot to prepare for these greens.

Great course & layout. The new greens are great but very hard & fast.

This is the second time I have played this course, with the last time being two years ago. I left the course feeling like the course conditions worsened vs. my last time here. Apparently, they recently completed a redesign of the greens and performed other course updates. The greens undulations were unnaturally tiered, and rock hard and not receptive to irons or pitches. The grass in the chipping areas around the green was sparse and barren in spots. Also, there are several holes with very deep, sod faced bunkers which we very difficult to play from, particularly with greens as hard as they were. Overall, I had a favorable impression of the course coming in to the day, but left disappointed.

Great layout. Many interesting holes. Finishing holes excellent. With upcoming new greens should be a superstar except for pace of play! VERY slow round with ineffective rangers and no attempt to correct pace. 5 to 6 hour round.

Best greens I've ever played on. Course has some St Andrews type bunkers so be prepared to lose a few strokes! Great everything here and I will come back in the fall.

After played tobacco road golf club yesterday, my expectation was not high for this course. If you haven't played the tobacco road course, then you definitely should. In my opinion it's the course to be in Pinehurst. But Talamore impress me more than I expected. Green was in great condition, the fairways were fun and interesting with elevation changes. My only complaints were the pace of the play and lack of grass in some of the fairways. As an out of towner, first time playing this course, I usually like to play with locals to get some guides on how best to play the course.

I originally booked to play with another twosome, but they reassigned my playing partner. I ended up playing by myself, waiting on every hole and virtually every shot! Five hours for the round.

Other than that I really enjoyed the course.

Didn't find the pro shop staff person that helpful. Asked about a replay and he advised should be no problem. When we come back in after our round we were advised there would a 2 hr wait for a replay.

Price for the course and replay was high for this time of year. Also having to pay for range balls at that price was disappointing

Our two foursomes played this on Sunday morning; a 5 hour round. Three foursomes standing on the 5th tee, two more in play on the hole. Marshall assured us the problem was temporary . 2:40 to the turn and the starter thanked us for keeping up the pAce of play! A little better on the back, 2:20. Greens are being replaced in June so I would not pay to play here until at least September

$ 135 is just too much money for this clubhouse, and this course. Nothing terribly wrong with either, just they are very average and not worth that high cost.

I would pay $80 to play there but never again pay $ 135

I have played this course 20 or more times. They have transitioned to Bermuda greens and renovated the course. The changes have made the course more player friendly. Fewer bunkers and trees. They have however added some challenging pot bunkers. The greens are in great shape and the fairways are good considering spring has just hit the area. I used a "Hot Deal" and some rewards to lower the price from $45 to $35. The Golfnow price was ridiculous for a premiere Pinehurst course. Highly recommend Talamore.

We had a wonderful experience the staff was great course beautiful conditions and the pace of play could not have been better

The recently completed renovations at Talamore have made the golf course a must-play for anyone travelling to the Pinehurst area. The new bermuda greens roll true and will be an absolute treat throughout the warm summer months. The short par-4 ninth hole is the best on the golf course in my opinion. It features tight tee shot protected by a long fairway bunker down the left-hand side (which I promptly found myself in) followed by an uphill wedge or short-iron approach into an undulating green that slopes from back to front. The key new feature on the hole that makes it truly one of the greats is the pair of deep grass-faced bunkers dug into the front of the green complex. Any approach that comes up short is sure to wind up in one of these traps, requiring a links-style side or backward shot to get out of this sandy prison. 5 stars, Talamore. 5 stars!

Loved the layout,undulating fairways,,greens in great shape! Loved this course :)

I played this course immediately after a few hours of rain. Of course it was soggy, but still very playable. Even the couple bunkers I ended up in were still soft enough to hit out of. Enjoyed the layout, nice mix of gettable and challenging holes. The new greens played great and rolled true. The price was unbeatable, played a hot deal tee time with a promo code and paid less than 10. Attendants were fantastic, starter gave me more than enough info about layout. Will definitely go back.

Cart paths were under repair but did not affect play.

Very good course , a lot of Improvements make this a excellent choice for a round , new Scottish stlye bunkers are a change up for this area ! Go play it !

I enjoyed this course and great condition when I moved to NC 6 years ago. I returned yesterday after a great Golf Now rate and so glad I made the 1.5 hour drive. Well maintained, good bunkers, level tee boxes, great greens, friendly staff. Speed of greens was not too fast compared to other courses in the area this time of year. There was a lot of cart path construction ongoing on the front nine but manageable. Only drawback was pace of play a bit slow and no marshals were visible but I was in no hurry on this warm February day.

A excellent golf course in Pinehurst area. The course was in excellent shape for February, the staff was very friendly, the grille was affordable. Pace of play was a little slow. Played in a twosome behind three foursomes.

Course offers several sets of tees so you can find a distance you like to play. A few blind shots off tees but over all the course is in front of you. Greens have some undulations and are fairly quick, but are in great shape. I highly recommend this course!

I had made a tee time as a single to fill out a threesome that was already booked. When I got there , I found out they had shown up with four , so they sent me out by myself, which was fine . The course it self is in good shape , considering the time of year . Greens were very nice. However , as I have seen mentioned in other reviews, some of the cart paths are not good , to say the least. I did see signs that the issues were being addressed , so hopefully that will continue. It was worth the drive for the money I paid.
