Talamore and Mid South Golf Resort

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.

Played Talamore in early Feb 2015 on one of those rare 70+ degree days in NC and it's always fun playing there. Never tire of the challenge. The course layout is great with a good mix of difficult, moderate and easier holes - even from white tees. Course conditions were really good for mid-winter. Greens rolled good...had some light fertilizer on them, but it didn't really affect the putts. A few bad spots on the greens in places, but generally the flags were in positions away from the spots. Bunkers were in excellent shape. And typical Sandhills courses don't stay wet very long so overall the course was pretty dry. Always a good time playing Talamore...llamas still hangin' out off the tee of #14. Put it on your play list when you're in the area...a GolfNow deal for $39 (or less) is good value for the quality of course.

This is a course I will play again. Great par 3's. A good mix of short and long holes. A fun course to play.

A great Arnold Palmer design. It used to be named Pinehurst Plantation until the Pinehurst folks got their panties in bunch! It doesn't matter as it is one of the best courses in the Pinehurst area...better than 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. These will have change their names when the Numbers family gets PO'd.

My choice as number one!

I love the layout and design of this course. From the first hole I enjoyed the unique character of each hole. Reminds me of an old school links style course, the true way golf was meant to be played.

NICE COURSE...TEE BOXES NEED WORK..NICE COUNTER STAFF///WOULD PLAY AGAIN

Great course. Rees Jones designed a jewel and it is in great shape. My buddy and I had the best golfing day this whole year. Challenging but not tricked up.
Highly recommend.

A very nice course which was an excellent value. A fair and challenging course.

Played in early November, course was in great shape. Greens were true, fairways cut and trimmed, staff friendly and helpful.

Staff was exceptionally courteous! Course was in great shape. Group play tends to back up, but still a wonderful day!

Great course, great shape for late October, enjoyed having to make placement shots, will make time to play it next visit, as much fun as Pinehurst just no caddies, no great Clubhouse or veranda, etc.
...and I played 18 both rounds, who plays 9 ? This is my 3rd yr to take a trip to Pinehurst, have played several other area courses, this take a solid # 2 on where to play.

First time playing at @mid-south, and they forgot that golf was part of the service industry. We showed up about 45 minutes before our tee times (first ones out), and the club house and the range were closed. My local muni has the club house open before sun up to accommodate the first ones out. Constantly hounded to play faster. And I quote, "My boss is going to yell at me if you don't play faster". Course and layout were great, but it seems they just want non-members there to cover their expenses. Maybe they could get more members with an attitude improvement course. Carolina golf is awesome and the other courses were more than accommodating. We were last tee times out at Dormie, and club pro stood in as bartender so we could have a few while the last groups came in. Guess who will get our business next time.

This course is a typical great North Carolina layout. Two interesting local rules made the course a little easier. First one being that there was existentially no out of bounds (hit it in someone's yard and you bring the ball out on the line of entry with no penalty) and the second being that a ball in any wire grass areas also being a free drop. These rules seem strange but I suppose they are in place to speed up play. Course was in great condition with the exception of the greens. They were slow and bumpy as it seems they were struggling keeping the bent grass greens in good condition. Otherwise I really enjoyed my experience on the course.

Our group of 20-24 guys go on an annual golf trip. This is our third trip to NC and also our third and final golf outing to Midsouth. I understand this is a private course offering some tee times to non-members. However, we were treated with no respect and no common courtesy. On the first hole, after the group cleared the fairway we walk to the tee box and the ranger states we are 5 minutes behind pace. Really? He follows us for the next 8 holes each time stating we are behind by 5-7 minutes. Stating he has members teeing off behind our group. On hole 8 he states we should move up a tee, however we are keeping up with the group playing ahead of us. The average golfer in our group of 20 has an average handicap of 6 and we were already playing up 1 tee box. This course is for members only, if your not a member you are treated with no respect. If there course is doing so well why are they allowing outsiders to contribute to their course. I would recommend going to the dormie club or the National where you are treated with open arms. To quote a member of the Dormie Club "we are so glad you picked our course, hope you enjoy it and please come back." #golfisaserviceindustry

This was our third time playing Mid South and their staff and marshals are without a doubt rude. We haven't even teed off yet and were being told by the marshals were 6 minutes behind the group in front of us. Every two holes were seeing the marshals telling us to speed up and catch the group in front of us. We're not the ones who showed up late and unprepared for golfers.

This wasn't an isolated incident either. We've experienced this kind of service level before from Mid South. We played the front 9 in less than 2 hours and on #10 the marshal told us to catch up with our group in front of us. WE PLAYED IN UNDER 2 HOURS ON THE FRONT NINE 1:55 TO BE EXACT.

Mid South wants the money from outside play, but are extremely rude and inconsiderate to outside guests. If you want to be treated like your money is no good and you do not belong Mid South is a perfect golf course for you.

Our group will never return to Mid South which is unfortunate because the golf course is really nice, but the staff and services leave it less than desirable to play again.

The course is long and beautiful....at the time the greens were soft and a little slow but putts ran true.....always a great time

Excellent layout. I think it has bent grass greens and were a bit shaggy in an effort to keep them alive.
