Enjoyed the round.

Overall a very good day on the course. Greens were a little tricky but fair. First cut of rough was wide and very deep. Some drives went just in the fringe and the ball disappeared from view. Lost 1 ball completely. On 18 while putting I noticed a young man cleaning my clubs and this may be a customary thing, but I wish he would have asked first without feeling obligated to tip for services not needed. Still I had fun.

Decent course but needs a bit of attention

The starter was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for a nice start to our day. We were disappointed with the condition of the roughs - many we very high and those that were mowed had all the grass scraps sitting there still, which made it difficult to find our ball. Greens were fair.

Just a unbelievable great deal. Great layout ... upscale.

Played Talamore on 9/6 for an unbelievable Golfnow rate of $21. The greens were punched a week or two before, but rolling well. Just a great layout, no two holes were the same. Fantasic contours to the fairways. A challenge but not unfair. Unique feature is not OB ... free drop from any residential area. I've played most of the upscale courses in the Pinehurst area ... this is a must play for your next visit.

Nice Course, Played quickly, Had just been aerated

The course had a nice layout. The staff were very nice and gave me a great deal on the course. That was because they had just aerated it. The green's, fairways, and tee boxes were pretty rough. I played with my wife and she shot the best score of her life on this course. I would like to play the course again when the course was in better condition. We did play fast because there weren't many people on the course because of the aeration.

Excellent Choice adn Great Value for the Money

The course was in tip top shape as it usually is. The course played at just under four hours with 90 degree cart rule even with lots of rain recently. The fairways were in great shape as was the greens, but rolled a little slower than I remembered. I will go back and play this course again and again!

The course has a great hole layout.

The 18 hole layout and scenery is great, however, the tee boxes and greens are substandard for a supposed quality course. Also, there are a number of holes that are cart path only and it slows down play if you happen to be on the wrong side of the path. The llamas pen on the 14th or 15th tee box is interesting and quite a sight.

The course is beautiful and challenging.

Beautiful course and after you get past the 1st hole it becomees a lot more enjoyable. The length of the first hole was very intimidating.

One of the best

Talamore is on most top lists for a reason. Excellent course, excellent conditions. Lots of elevation changes, grain matters, fairway bunkers are 3 things of note---and they are part of the character of the course. Great scenic, if intimidating, finishing hole. At GolfNow prices, this is another steal!

The greens are in excellent shape

My experience at Talamore was by far the best day of golf I have ever experienced . From the moment we pulled up to the bag drop to the moment we returned our cart ,nothing but A+ service from the staff . Can't say enough about how friendly and professional the staff at Talamore are . The Course was in great shape as were the greens . If you ever find yourself in the sandhills I would highly recommend Talamore Golf Club . Enjoyed it so much we replayed 18 and made a day of it.

Great Layout

I played Talamore with my wife. I think Talamore deserves a Mulligan in this case. We have had some tremendous amounts of rain and I believe this was reflecting the poor course conditions. But, I am doing this review based on what the course was like when we played. The fairways haven't been mowed in awhile, it was like hitting out of the rough. I'm certain that's because they could not cut them due to the wetness. The tee boxes were mixed, some were in good shape but others needed attention. The greens were in pretty good shape , a little on the slow side. The course has a great layout and is challenging. The first is a wicked par 5-600+ yards, I played the Blue Tees. And the last 4 holes were difficult finishing holes. I wish this course would have been in good condition because it has great potential. I hope to come back when its dry. One other thing, my wife loved the Llama's off the 14th tee box. Overall, I would really like to play this course again under better conditions.

Pinehurst Favorite

This is my group's 12th year to Pinehurst, having played Talamore every year. Since we stay in the on site condos, it has become our final day course. This course is always in great shape and this year was no exception. The greens were in perfect shape and the fairways were plush. Talamore has become my favorite Pinehurst course. It is not the most challenging nor the most picturesque, but it is a great test of your ability from any tees and always pristine. Put it on your must play list.
