Outstanding Course

I play golf all around the US and mainly at Myrtle Beach, but Talamore is one of the best curses that I have ever played. Would recommend that everyone play this course at least once. My family and I will be back!

Interesting Layout

The course is hillier than most in the Pinehurst area, with lots of moguls and bunkers lining the fairways and at the greens. Fairways were in good shape, but greens were not.
Fun course overall.

Great Pinehurst Area Course

This course has a very nice layout, the greens suffered from some winter kill, but they still putt nicely and quick. Fairways and tee boxes in top notch shape and the staff was very friendly and accommodating as our tee time through GN did not appear on the sheet when we checked in, but still honored the GN rate. The only negative was all tee times had been pushed back and the pace of play was around 5-6 hours.

Has clearly gone downhill...I'm done

Reviewed this course a year ago. Undoubtedly a very fine layout, as I said last year (nothing changed in that regard!). But the greens are clearly below average: slow and in very poor condition. Rumors in the area suggest that the place is having serious financial challenges and can't invest $ to get the greens improved. But what annoyed me most about this last outing was that the people in the pro shop said with a straight face that the place was in excellent shape, greens included. I deliberately asked about this the day before we played knowing of our issue last year. And then after the round, this was discussed with them, and the fancy footwork was nauseating...these people simply have no credibility. I would recommend only if they were offering a money back guarantee.

Disappointed

Been paying Talamore for more than 15 years and conditions were worst I've experienced there. Collars recently resodded so rough and shaggy, greens filled with bare spots, wet fairway areas from drainage problems. Won't be back anytime soon. Spend your money at Legacy not far away.

great course and you get to use all your clubs

Choose the correct tee box to get the most enjoyment out of your round. Course is challenging yet fair. Will play this again when I am in Pinehurst. Great value for the area and pace of play was very good

Talamore Good - Greens okay to fair

The course was in good condition, however, some of the greens had blight on some of the surfaces. Greens were bumby (not overly so). Tee to green was in good condition. Pace of play good. Brother played with me - he got his first Hole-in-One on I think #6, too bad I wagered him, he shot excellent. Started was good, clubhouse good. Was getting ready to play Pinehurst #4 and #2 over the weekend needed a good priced similiar course set-up, this worked.

Great layout, great value for the money

My friend and I played the blue tees and the course was in good shape, it has been in better shape but we've had a lot of rain lately. Was definitely worth the $39 that golf now sold it for. Our pace of play was great it took us three and a half hours to play 18 holes.

July Golf Trip Mid South.

Tee to Green this course was in great shape. Greens were good but a little hairy(lot's of rain and had not been cut), fairways were very nice. Hard to tell about the traps as we endured 3 separate rain delay's during our Round. As much rain as we had the course drained very well.
Staff was pleasant and we had zero problems contrary to previous reviews. The Bar and Grill was mediocre at best and service there was average.

Summer Time Blues

Have been playing Talamore since it opened. Had the rate not been $49 due to summer season I would have complained about the 4 hour and 50 minute round with a starting time of 8:30, and the very poor condition of more than half the greens. Some kind of mold or disease left numerous bare spots. Don't know how long this will take to repair but buyer beware when the rates go up in September. This is a great track I hope they get this straightened out.

So Sad to See Talamore Fall So Far

Pros: Cart girl was nice and the water on the course seemed fresh. Hot dog at the turn was delicious.

Cons: where to begin? Greens were uneven and unmowed. Collars were dead (and they looked like they were recently sodded) and playing through them was like playing through velcro. Tee boxes and fairways were bare. They couldn't even be bothered to cut fresh holes. Pace of play was horrible -- waiting on EVERY shot.

Choose Talamore because we've always had a nice time there and the conditions always maintained. But this time we feel ripped off, even at the golf now discounted rate. And not even a word of apology or caution from the staff. Fool me once . . . in a group planning to play there later in the summer and I will suggest to our leaders that we demand a refund.

Played the day before at Whispering Woods -- a fun little course for half the price and in fine shape. Talamore should be ashamed of asking for full price and delivering a dog patch.

Good layout but in very average condition

Course was very poorly maintained. It appeared that they had cut back on their maintenance of the golf course.
