ok day

Round started out well, good pace on first seven holes then hit the wall. Greens were quick but very firm. No chance of holding a shot, even wedges bounced over.

Greens seemed to have not been punched or top dressed this year.

Great new greens!

This Champion bermuda grass that is being used on greens is perfect! The greens here are large, undulating, and quick - quite a challenge if you are in the wrong spot on the green. Once they soften up some, they will hold approach shots better, but it is tough to complain about greens this nice. Enjoyed looking at the new pot bunkers, but I managed to stay out of them. Pace of play was on the slow side - no marshall or cart lady on a Sunday?? Course is in great shape. Pricey, but worth it.

Tee boxes need some work

The greens and fairways were awesome, the tee boxes need some work. Pace of play was extremely slow due to us being behind a group of 32 individuals playing in some kind of tournament.

Nothing to complain about

Course is challenging but fair, greens are new and hard but will hold a well struck shot from a good lie, even though they had a fresh coating of sand on them they rolled true and fast. The course has a wonderful mix of diffent types of holes and shots to keep you interested. If you leave here complaining then you're impossible to please..

Great shape and fast greens

This was my first time playing Talamore with the new greens, even though they are extremely fast they were enjoyable to putt on. In a year or two once the greens mature and hold iron shots this will be a top public course in the area. Fairways and rough are in great shape. Best course I've played for $30 in my 25 years of playing golf. Well worth the drive from the Charlotte area.

Ancient golfer

Nice course and staff. Course in good condition except greens are hard surface and don't hold iron shots very well. Too slow pace took 5 hours to play. By time we got to10th tee had 6 carts waiting.from there we waited most shots and nobody let us play thru. Needed marshal to make pace speed up.

Fun Layout

First time playing Talamore since the redesign. Very fun, fair layout. Generous fairways, greens were not too severe......speed and undulation wise. The sand is very fluffy and heavy......and many of the traps at greenside have very steep faces.....almost look like revetted walls. Overall, well worth the drive from Raleigh.
