Talamore and Mid South Golf Resort

I played Tobacco Road, Talamore, Pine Needles and finally Mid South during the holiday at the end of 2024. TR is of course on a level that is off the charts, but Mid South was the course that really exceeded my expectations. It was spectacular. The whole course was not only beautiful but the variability of the holes just made it a lot of fun. It was tough but very fair. Some of the greens are very challenging and hitting the wrong side of the green can make life very dificult but that is what makes it so much fun. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. I actually think this could be the best course I have played in the Raleigh/Pinehurst corridor. The variability of the holes and the very challenging greens would keep me coming back to this course every week if I could. I loved it.

First time playing this course. The condition was great for winter golf. It rained the day before so cart path only and got no roll of the tees. enough elevation changes to keep you guessing of your club choices. Greens were in good shape. 18th is a very nice finishing hole... Will definitely play again if coming back to the area.

great course. staff friendly. course was a bit wet due to recent rain but still very playable. only problem was very slow play. groups we’re playing like it was final round of the masters. when you have two people playing and come up on a foursome and there playing from 3 different tees you would think they would allow you to play thru. not here! i believe people need to be reminded of allowing faster players to play thru. had to leave due to darkness. it took 5.5 hours to play 14 holes.

Talamore is always in good shape and this time was no exception. The greens are fast, smooth and putt true. They're also very large with a lot of undulations so it seems like there is never a flat, straight putt. The pot bunkers are a cool feature though I don't recommend finding them! One of the best courses for your money in the Pinehurst area and comparable in quality to the more famous courses. Highly recommended!

Great layout, course was in really good condition for the time of year. Pace was a little slow but absolutely worth it!

The course was in beautiful shape. Only negative was pro shop refused my son a junior price because we went through Golf now app. Still got a great price but the gentleman seemed bent that I used to golf now app. Other than that golf course was beautiful and the rest of the staff great!

.... perfect sandhills chilly December day.

Great value, even better pace.

Course wasn't as daunting this time around.

Will be back!

Friendly staff. Modern amenities. Beautiful course and great layout. Highly recommend. Cannot wait to come back.

Loved every bit of my experience at Talamore. Great conditions for the time of year and visually appealing. Cant wait to get back out there

Mid South is an unbelievable golf course available for public play through GN. It plays fast and inviting to rip driver off the tee on almost all the Par4’s and Par5’s.

Bear in mind bunker laden green complexes await the incoming approach shot . Not to mention the fast and undulating greens that characterize putts once you’ve reached the surface. There’s enough water to trouble you coming down the stretch on the closing holes. Mid South is a must play with a variety of tee box options as well!

Truly enjoyed the experience . Happy holidays

Set alongside the Pinehurst CC's 10 courses, as well as Mid Pines, Pine Needles, and Southern Pines, Mid Pines fits right in nicely. A pleasure to play, quite the challenge, but not too punitive. Arnie, obviously, wanted one to enjoy the day, enjoy the vivid landscape comprising the golf holes, and leave very satisfied.

The course was in great shape.club house staff made you feel right at home! Pace of play was good.over all a great time would definitely recommend!

The greens and bunkers at Talamore were excellent-especially for late November. Grade A. Really enjoyed beautiful fall day. Met up with nice fellows from Charlotte on a junket. We were held up enough not to make what carts had as about a 4.5 hour pace--but less than 5 total. If anything, amenities (food, range) are probably subpar.

In Pinehurst, you expect really quick greens, false fronts and tough scoring. This course had good greens (not much break), minimal false fronts and easy scoring. If you stay below the hole, you can two putt or better. Had cart path only which is tough when you have never seen the layout so a lot of approaches were short.
