Talamore and Mid South Golf Resort

Talamore is my favorite course in the area. It’s a beautiful course design with challenging greens and bunkers but fun none the less. It’s a must play if you’re in the area for golf.

The putts can’t be trusted, the greens were punched last weekend or so, will need a few weeks to roll better.

The course design and conditions other wise were fantastic.

I played this course when I was in Pinehurst. I was looking for courses that rivaled the Pinehurst playing experience without the Pinehurst cost. I enjoyed this layout, gives you everything you want in a Sandhills course. I will play it again on my next trip...

Course provided no head sup that greens were aerated. Would’ve played elsewhere had I known. Not worth $80-90 with slow, sandy greens.

Played the course a day after a heavy rain. Greens were aerated a week before. That said, great track to play. Lots of hills and water. Course would be a beast with fast greens.

Very nice course with a great layout. The only negative is it took over 5.5 hours to play and I didn’t see one Marshall out there

I was a single and played behind a 5-some. They had 6 groups of four ahead of them. No ranger. Very disappointing. The course itself seem to be in good shape, but the pace of play was totally unacceptable

I have previously reviewed Talamore and given it very high marks. It is a great golf course, getting better, played it three times over the winter. However, our round yesterday (two couples) was excruciating. We had an 11:54 tee time. When we arrived, there was a very large group waiting to tee off on #1. We finally teed off at about 12:15--20 minutes late. There was a group of 16 in front of us, and apparently an even larger group in front of them earlier in the day. We gave up after 16 holes, at 5:08 pm--5 hours and 14 minutes after our tee time. At that point there was a group on the fairway on #17, a group teeing off on #18, a group in the fairway on #18 and a group on the green on #18, so we would have been lucky to finish in another 40 minutes, making for more than a six hour round. We were ready for slow--maybe five hours, but this was ridiculous. I hope Talamore will invest in some marshaling, because this could be a very good resort. But no one is going to put up with six hour rounds anywhere. I'll come back in the winter.

Nice large greens that are very fast. Pretty layout. Moderate difficulty unless you go to blue tees

Greens were very good, some dormant rough, overall a good test. No snack bar operating the day we were there, perhaps due to Easter?

Had first tee time of the day, course staff were great, helped me understand how to play the course a bit. Greens are the defense of this course, practice on the putting green before going out for sure! Not too much crazy about the layout but it’s challenging in shot making on approach. New pot bunkers are a great feature, avoid at all costs! Definitely a place to put on your list for the area!

The new short game area and top tracer range will be awesome. The new bunkers are fantastic with the sod faced riveting. Pace was right on four hours, and the greens were pure. My brother and dad had a great time too.
