Great Value!

What a treat getting to play here earlier this week, it’s February, it’s been wet and the course is still amazing, cannot wait to go back! The New bunkers are looking great and the range when completed will be fantastic.

Good Value In Southern Pines

We live in Raleigh and have done a day trip to Talamore twice recently. On a decent winter day, this is a great value, and a fun course to play. The owner is investing in the course and facilities, and it shows. Currently, the practice range is closed as they upgrade it, but come Spring in will be nice. They are adding pot bunkers to several holes, which gives them a great look. It is a good track, with a mix of difficult holes and a few that are scoreable. If you decide to stay nearby, there are several additional great options for playing.

Greens were just punched

The putts can’t be trusted, the greens were punched last weekend or so, will need a few weeks to roll better.
The course design and conditions other wise were fantastic.

Aeration

Course provided no head sup that greens were aerated. Would’ve played elsewhere had I known. Not worth $80-90 with slow, sandy greens.

First time, won’t be the last

Had first tee time of the day, course staff were great, helped me understand how to play the course a bit. Greens are the defense of this course, practice on the putting green before going out for sure! Not too much crazy about the layout but it’s challenging in shot making on approach. New pot bunkers are a great feature, avoid at all costs! Definitely a place to put on your list for the area!

Always good

The new short game area and top tracer range will be awesome. The new bunkers are fantastic with the sod faced riveting. Pace was right on four hours, and the greens were pure. My brother and dad had a great time too.

Awesome day

The stay is always super friendly and happy to have you there. They are installing a new shortcake area and top tracer range, which will be awesome. The greens were super fast, and I was leaving it above the hole all day. Yikes.

The llamas were out, and my brother and dad had a great time too.

Best off-season experience you could have!

Played here on Valentines Day and could have asked for a better overall experience. The staff was incredible, all very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I was the first group out and paired with another first-time visitor to the course. The conditions were great considering all the bad weather recently. Greens very well taken care of, fairways right and rough challenging but not rage inducing lol. Waited for my ride in the beautiful clubhouse and bar looking out over the course. I will definitely be back the first chance I get! Also if you get a hot now deal it feels like you’re stealing from them, this place is amazing!

Best hidden course in Moore County

I’ve lived in the Pinehurst area since 1986 and saw this course for the first time. I must say I was astonished at the excellent layout of the course and the beauty of it all. Tough enough to demand good ball striking but not so tough as to ruin a great day. My son and I absolutely loved the course and consider it our favorite. Looking forward to the next round at Talamore

Fair track, fun layout

Good track. The greens are tough, getting to them not as much. You can score here if you have the flat stick working. Staff was friendly. I played in the winter for $50; not sure I'd love it as much at the regular $100+ rate.

One of the best in the area

I love this course and I promise you it won’t disappoint. They are doing bunker work on 17 and it was closed but it didn’t take away from the round one but. Greens are smooth and fast as always and will challenge even the best putters. Will definitely be back soon
