First time, won’t be the last

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!

Always good

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.

Awesome day

The stay is always super friendly and happy to have you there. They are installing a new shortcake area and top tracer range, which will be awesome. The greens were super fast, and I was leaving it above the hole all day. Yikes.

The llamas were out, and my brother and dad had a great time too.

Course was fabulous! 4 of us played, 2 women and 2 men. We all loved the course and the challenges on Holes 16, 17, and 18. The women with Hugh handicaps appreciated how far our balls rolled with the downward slope. Well maintained. Will return.

Disappointing and overpriced

Very disappointed with the overall condition of the course which was supposed to be one of the best conditioned courses in the area. Tees and fairways were fine but the rough was brown and crusty and the greens had splotches on them. Layout was ok with very little water and not many memorable holes.

Ok, but not again

We decided to make Talamore the high-end course this year and it definitely back fired on us. First of all, they moved our tee time back to accomodate a Women's Golf Association outing and it took us nearly three hours to play the first nine holes. Layout is ok, but the greens aren't worth what you're paying for.

The staff could certainly stand to have some customer service training as they have the biggest impact on perceived value. I got the feeling that the cart assistant out front either doesn't like his job or really didn't want to be there that day. The pro shop attendant was mildly better in that he wasn't outright rude.

I recommend a hard pass on this course as completely over-priced for the area as there are too many better options from clubs who seem to genuinely want you there.

Diamond in the pines

Played this course after playing Pine Needles and I’ve got to say I loved it. The front nine was gorgeous and had lots of water surrounded by rock. The back nine was a lot more sand but still a really good looking course for being early season. A few blind shots, but nothing too crazy. Very fun course and I can’t wait to go back.

Midddyyyy is always a treat!!!

Start to finish- Simply as good an experience as the Sandhills has to offer. I've played here a lot over the years- and most of my friends & visitors always seemingly prefer Mid South to any of the Pinehurst resort courses. Another great day at Middddy- greens in great shape- such a treat!!! - JP

One of my favorite courses in the area. Greens are pure, and the complexes are interesting. Plus you get to see llamas!!

So much potential..

Played this course today after getting a hot deal tee time for $50! And lets just say, I’m glad I did because I wouldnt have been too happy if I had paid $100. I know this course can probably justify that price in the spring/summer but it was very wet and muddy today. The layout was great however and if you can snag a tee time for $50 here, I would recommend.

Best off-season experience you could have!

Played here on Valentines Day and could have asked for a better overall experience. The staff was incredible, all very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I was the first group out and paired with another first-time visitor to the course. The conditions were great considering all the bad weather recently. Greens very well taken care of, fairways right and rough challenging but not rage inducing lol. Waited for my ride in the beautiful clubhouse and bar looking out over the course. I will definitely be back the first chance I get! Also if you get a hot now deal it feels like you’re stealing from them, this place is amazing!

Great course .. but . Don’t expect hospitality

$100 “member for a day” .. unless it’s Super Bowl weekend . They toss you out at 6pm .. and I don’t even care for pro sports.

Low class and cheap on your part Mid South establishment.
