Talamore Never Disappoints

Upon arrival, I was enthusiastically greeted by both the starter and pro. Everything was great. The course was in excellent condition. I played 18 in only 2&1/2 hours! How great is that? Definitely will be back. Excellent value as well.

Great course

This course is well maintained and has a nice layout. Lots of undulations on course that makes it challenging but very fair course. Staff was very friendly as well

Great course

Talamore has a great layout and offers many demanding shots. The course was I good shape but quite wet from rain the day before. The greens were still true and fast. This is a course to play if visiting the Pinehurst area.

Nice parkland course

We returned to play Talamore again after having played it last year for our boys golf trip down from Ontario, Canada. Excellent condition again and enjoyed the parkland layout. Although it was quite busy, the pace of play was good and you didn't really see many foursomes because of the trees lining the fairways. Terrific greens and lush fairways. A very good test for all golfers. Will definitely be back to play Talamore next time we're in town..

Great Day at Mid-South

I've played several courses around the Sandhills and somehow missed this one.

I've heard good things but was surprised at the quality of Mid-South. It's not for the faint of heart as the layout is challenging and the greens are tough. It challenges you but doesn't beat you up. You'll want to play it again because of the challenge and quality of the golf.

I can't wait for my next chance.

Beautiful layout and a treat to play..

This was one of our favorites of the courses we played while on a guys golf trip from Ontario Canada in the spring. Lots of elevation changes and a terrific layout! generally generous fairways and receptive greens. Terrific pace to greens. Course was lush and in great shape. Plenty of water that comes into play on various holes, especially 9 and 18. Terrific clubhouse and had a great view and lunch after our round as we watched other groups on various greens & fairways near the outdoor deck. Will definitely come back to play this in the future.

Fabulous Course

What a great course for the money. Course was in great condition with soft sand. The greens were especially challenging - fast and usually broke more than anticipated. Top it off with $3.50 Bloody Mary..

Excellent Course

Again, a wonderful course. The Par 3's were long and tricky and sometimes humbling. Can't wait to play again. The layout of some of the holes were blind and you had to have your shot on target. I felt by then my game was getting better, even though my score may not have reflected that....again those tricky Par 3's. All in all, I had a wonderful time and would recommend Golf Advisor Getaways to everyone AND have. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Kyle Clark is an asset to your Golf Channel organization and made our experience all the better. What a great attitude he has.

Excellent Course

This was a course that I was looking forward to, and I was not disappointed. Even though it was cart path only, it gave me a better view of the landscaping and the amount of talent it takes to design such a course. I did get to see the white Lama, as she was kind enough to be laying in front of the door. A wonderful experience all around.

Very Interesting layout

The course was in fantastic condition and the playing conditions were really good. This was the last day of an outing with some friends for Myrtle Beach, and new friends that we made as well, who provided added enjoyment by their very presence.

A great 'new' Talamore

Deb and I had a great time playing this course. The greens were slick and while we had to walk (cart path only because of the recent rain) we really enjoyed the experience.

Good course, but way overpriced

Talamore is a fine course. With the exception of the premiere Pinehurst courses, (Pinehurst Resort, Mid Pines, etc), Talamore is better than most you will find in the area. However, the course is way overpriced for what it is. Green fees were $129 for an afternoon round in October. I’ve played many, many courses for far less that we’re much better courses. Their fees are what they are because it is in Pinehurst, and that’s really the only reason. But worse, even at a $129 rate, they had the audacity to charge for range balls. Not kidding. Overpriced fees aside, the course was in good shape. Conditions of the tees, fairways, and greens were far better than what you’ll find at places like Southern Pines, Whispering Pines, or Foxfire type courses. Even during drought conditions, fairways were lush. Greens were very good. It’s a nice course, but I would only play it in the off-season unless you don’t mind paying $130+ for a round of golf.

Beautiful course!

First time playing Mid-South and I was not disappointed. Beautiful weather made for a great day golfing. There are several lakes on the course- very picturesque. There were a few forced carries across water that made for fun & challenging holes. The layout has a more traditional look and this was the favorite course of some in our golf group. Eighteen is a great risk/reward finishing hole. Beautiful clubhouse and great staff. We stayed in the cottages at Mid-South and we would definitely stay there again.

I liked this course!

Good experience! Second time playing the course and was drier weather this time so much more enjoyable. Lots of elevation changes and challenging greens. Par 3s were my favorite. A good tee shot/approach is a must -getting up and down for par is tough! The course was in good shape, tee to green. Very nice and helpful pro shop staff. Loved the llamas!

Favorite Course of the trip

I absolutely loved this track. The layout was fantastic. Rolling hills throughout the fairways and greens. Very nice routing! The finishing holes on each side are very challenging and actually share a green! Would play this course every weekend if I could!

This was my first time playing golf in North Carolina. The rolling hills are definitely something to get used to. The greens were like grease lightening! Make sure you don’t leave yourself above the hole. In fact, do not short side yourself either because you have some time Bermuda to navigate which can be humbling for many... Really enjoyed this round, would certainly play here regularly if I lived nearby.

One of my favorites.

This was always one of my favorites, but not to pleased today. Thanks to GolfPass, I played for free today, the guy that was partnered with me paid $100 plus! I am not sure how they can get people to pay that much, it is a $60 course at the max, in my opinion. Still a great place, but they need to be real about the price.

A Whole Lotta Shaping Goin' On

Real estate golf, with best land reserved for homesites and golf relegated to steeper terrain that had to be massaged, shaped, and beaten into shape - usually with the effect that it looked like it gave up and use let the bulldozers run amuck on it. Way too much excess each mowing that creates absurd doglegs, weird bonding and artificially blinded shots.
