Mid South Club – The King’s Finest in the Pinehurst Area T he 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 By David Theoret Ohio Golf Journal Golf Travel
