Talamore and Mid South Golf Resort

First time to play this course. Great course to play for any skilled golfer. Fantastic day! Would recommend this course to anyone. Will definitely play here again.

course was in ok shape. If u have to experience Gene in the pro shop good luck he is a straight up jerk. Never been treated like that ever before anywhere. Talked to the general manager and he apologized for him. Cart guy said I was not the first person to complain about him. Not sure why they keep him around.

We enjoyed the course but the greens were slow and sand was all over them.

The resort course was in excellent condition overall. A few greens had some issues but didn't effect me. A nice variety of rolling terrain and some long carries. I played at 1:40 by myself so obviously pace of play was perfect. Very nice practice range off natural turf and it also was in very good shape. I live in Raleigh so this was about an hours drive and well worth it. Really want to play it again. Staff was really friendly. Again a well designed course with challenges / my type of course. I am a 3 handicap and played the blue tees.

This course used to be touted as one of the finest in the Pinehurst area. Now it's one of the worst. It was always annoying that it seemed to be designed for slow play. With long distances between greens and the next tee, it isn't practice to walk. And fencies blocking access to many fairways make them "cart path only" even in perfect weather, so you wait while the group in front sheleps across the fairway, hoping they brought the right clubs. And the parking areas are as far as 70yds from green centers, several in front of the green. All adds up to a slow round.

But, the group in front will have a chance to clear the way while you three put on the greens that all have huge areas where they have lost their turf and you can try to put through sand painted green (every green and large areas).

Couple this with an arrogant staff that act like they are doing you a favor by letting you play and it makes for an unpleasant experience.

We were treated very poorly by the front office staff to the on course staff. Very disorganized, bumped from our tee time that was reserved for weeks by members showing up unannouced (told this by starter), told us that they would ensure a 4:20 round and it was almost 50 minutes longer, when we wanted to book a replay before starting was told lots of spots available, but when were were sent to starter after first round he told us we would have to wait 2 hours, so we had to ask for refund. They really do not want visitors play so they should just not accept them. Other 8 days in Pinehurst were an absolute pleasure. Don't waste you time and money here.

Having played Talamore on many occasions, I have always marvelled at its beauty and challenge ( probably the toughest starting hole I've ever played). My only disappointment this trip was the condition of many of the greens that had patches of disease. A real shame! Otherwise it was great to play there with my wife, and I will play there again, if they don't price themselves too high.

I played this course on 4/5/2105. I have no idea who maintains this course but it needs help. About half the greens had bald spots that were covered with a green sand/grass mixture. The bunkers need more sand, you'll more than likely skull your wedge shots out of there. The regular spring rate for this course is $115 for a weekend round. Until this course gets in shape, I would find a better deal....

My son and I played the course and both loved it. We will certainly play it again. The staff were friendly and helpful. A few of the greens had bad patches but overall the course was in great shape.

Can't add much to what the others have said. We played just after a rain, so the ground was soggy. Greens were in sad shape; most of them had multiple areas where they had tried to repair winterkill. Greens were shaggy and slow Nice layout, both clubhouse and course. Do play it when the greens have healed.

Lots of elevation changes and more sand than the beach. The greens are the worst I've played on in this area. Definitely not worth the price when you have to take relief on every green. The rest of the course seemed to be maintained well. Friendly staff and nice layout.

Great track, Course was in good shape even though it's a bit early, They had snow 3 weeks ago! Greens had been puched about 4 weeks ago and were still healing. Putted a little slow, but the starter gave up the heads up and we had a great time! Awesome Value.

The course layout is very good. It's tough and has many traps and hills. The problem we encountered were the greens. They were in pretty bad shape. It appears they had many problems with them due to the weather. I would probably play it again but only after the greens have been corrected.

Played Talamore in early Feb 2015 on one of those rare 70+ degree days in NC and it's always fun playing there. Never tire of the challenge. The course layout is great with a good mix of difficult, moderate and easier holes - even from white tees. Course conditions were really good for mid-winter. Greens rolled good...had some light fertilizer on them, but it didn't really affect the putts. A few bad spots on the greens in places, but generally the flags were in positions away from the spots. Bunkers were in excellent shape. And typical Sandhills courses don't stay wet very long so overall the course was pretty dry. Always a good time playing Talamore...llamas still hangin' out off the tee of #14. Put it on your play list when you're in the area...a GolfNow deal for $39 (or less) is good value for the quality of course.

This is a course I will play again. Great par 3's. A good mix of short and long holes. A fun course to play.

A great Arnold Palmer design. It used to be named Pinehurst Plantation until the Pinehurst folks got their panties in bunch! It doesn't matter as it is one of the best courses in the Pinehurst area...better than 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. These will have change their names when the Numbers family gets PO'd.

My choice as number one!

I love the layout and design of this course. From the first hole I enjoyed the unique character of each hole. Reminds me of an old school links style course, the true way golf was meant to be played.

NICE COURSE...TEE BOXES NEED WORK..NICE COUNTER STAFF///WOULD PLAY AGAIN

Great course. Rees Jones designed a jewel and it is in great shape. My buddy and I had the best golfing day this whole year. Challenging but not tricked up.
Highly recommend.

A very nice course which was an excellent value. A fair and challenging course.
