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.

Great Course, staff not so friendly!

This is our second year playing Talamore. We had 8 guys last year and 12 guys this year. Lorraine from Talamore Golf and Travel has been wonderful. The Talamore course is beautiful and always in great shape. The only negative is the staff in the Talamore clubhouse. Both years we have been less than impressed with their customer service. They always seem rushed and “put out” by us being there. If you can look past this, it was overall a great experience at Talamore. Will definitely be back next year.

REALLY nice course. Fun layout & great condition!

I played today and really enjoyed this course. The greens are close to immaculate, fast and fair. Fairways are near perfect. Course has a lot of variety and some interesting challenges too.

Can't wait to try it again

We played the course for the first time a day after the Pinehurst area received about 2.5 inches of rain, so we moved up a tee box figuring the course would be playing longer. It still was extremely enjoyable.

I can't say enough good things about the course, the pro shop staff and the layout. The conditions of the tee boxes were better than some greens I play on back home! The elevation changes were great, too, making you really think about club selections. I felt guilty after we were done that we had gotten onto the course with a Hot Deal. The course was worth much more than we paid. We will be back.

Play Talamore

I have played Talamore since they opened up in the early 90’s. The course has changed over the years but only for the better. It is more player friendly by being able to drive on all of the holes. They also have taken out a lot of the bunkers, but the ones they have on the holes are just in the right spots so beware. The greens were in great shape, and nice and fast which I like. Do not complain, just take a easy tap and they go. But do not play for the breaks because they are pretty straight. We will be back again.

Beautiful course for a lot less than nearby Pinehurst

Great layout and great conditions. Was busy at around 9am on a Friday but we were able to get off on #10 (split tee times) and had a good pace for a twosome. Looked for lamas on hole#14- saw two up near their shelter. Apparently the course no longer offers them for caddy services. Friendly staff. Good deal through Hot Deal- was 25% off the rack rate of $119. Would definitely play this course again.
