The Talamore Golf Resort in Southern Pines, NC offers two of the Pinehurst’s finest golf courses, as well as, accommodations that are second to none: The New Course at Talamore and Mid South Club have received numerous accolades from such reputable publications as Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, Pinehurst Magazine and GolfLink.com.
The Mid South Club at the Talamore Golf Resort was skillfully designed by Arnold Palmer and opened for play in 1993. Talamore Golf Partners acquired the layout in 2004 and made several capital improvements, including adding the beautiful clubhouse. 
After a successful rebuild of the New Course at Talamore, the greens at the Mid South Club were converted to Champion Bermuda. In an effort to make the course more player-friendly, a new set of forward tees were added. During the off season, the cart paths were reworked and restored to a natural packed sand base and only re-concreted, where necessary.
Mid South Club consists of 545 acres of emerald fairways and towering pine trees. Significant elevation changes, shimmering lakes and numerous wetlands come into play throughout the course. Mid South Club does everything in a big way: big greens, big fairways, big bunkers, big lakes – and in some areas, big rocks (like those fronting the ninth and eighteenth greens).
The Lodges at Mid South are the ultimate in high-end luxury condominiums. They sit adjacent to the clubhouse and offer fabulous golf and water views that stretch from 1st fairway all the way over to the 9th and 18th holes as well as the new 19th hole.
Each unit at The Lodges features 1,800 square feet of living space and each bedroom features two queen size beds. Should you find yourself on the second floor, you’ll pass the welcome fountain and climb a gracious southern spiral staircase to the second level.
In addition to world-class golf and accommodations at both facilities, the Talamore Golf Resort takes great care of its guests with a complimentary breakfast buffet every day from 6:30 – 9:30, featuring all of your favorite breakfast food and some southern favorites: biscuits and southern style gravy and homestyle grits.
When packaged together, the Mid South Club and The New Course at Talamore are a very formidable pair that will rival any two-course combination in the area. For more information or to book your next golf vacation at the Talamore Golf Resort, visit them at www.talamoregolfresort.com.
