Fun

I got out very early so pace was fine, but it certainly looked busy behind me. Course was fun. Pretty wide open but the defense is certainly in the greens.

Terrible

Cannot hit woods on the range. Course was a soppy mess( yes it’s been raining). Course seemed like it was smushed unto a housing development. Grass cuttings were all over the fairways. Greens were ok. Staff was indifferent. Pace of play was absolutely wretched. Ranger was out there and did nothing. Had to leave after a 3 hr 9 hole front(started around 8am). Pathetic all around. Practice facilities sucked, course sucked. No thanks.

Fun

Considering it’s winter and it’s been raining nonstop, Talamore was in great shape. Certainly some wet areas, but totally playable. Greens were very good, above avg speed and undulation. Cart part only and a large group went out early on, but pace wasn’t terrible. Fairways are huge, no OB, and trees aren’t thick, which made it fun to play.

Not stellar

This is the first time I’ve given this course 3 stars.
Greens are slow and bumpy, and have been the past few times Ive played here. The weather has been perfect for bent grass greens, so not sure why they’ve been subpar.
Some spots in the fairway are thinning already but the course is in good shape otherwise.pace of play normally good, but not this time. Couple of older guys in front of us that refused to let us play through. We ended up having to skip a hole. Now, I know there was a ranger on duty, as well as a starter, so why was he not doing his job? Poor performance.

Very good

Staff is always friendly and helpful. Course was in very good condition. Greens on the slower side, but didn’t take away from the experience. Pace of play was very good.

Good time

As usual, greeted by friendly staff. Course conditions were very good(played black and orange). This is always a fun course to play. Only negative, getting to my back 9(Black) pace of play slowed way down. Otherwise was a very good experience.

Nice

This is always a fun course to play, tricky, but fun. It’s certainly in better shape than most courses I’ve played lately. There are some rough spots, but few and far between, and they didn’t seem to effect play.
The staff seemed friendlier than usual.
Only issue, staff advised me to attempt to pair up with the tee time just before my own, no problem. I arrived to the starter 7 minutes prior to my new tee time, and they were sent out early. The starter rushed me off the tee to catch up with them; not really how I like to start my round considering I was plenty early, and it’s wasn’t even my original tee time. I make note of this because I’ve ran into similar issues here before.

Little rough

Greens are wretched. I hope they get better as the season progress. Pace of play was as bad as the greens. 6 hr round, no embellishment. The rest of the course is as expected for this time of year... just ok if you are lift, clean, and place. Some holes were fun and some were boring. Pro shop staff is only staff I was in contact with and was very friendly.

Aeration alert!

Aeration was not noted on Golfnow. Probably will be rough for another 2-4 weeks.
I was attacked by swarms of beetles on about every green on the front 9. It was absolutely disgusting. Pace of play was good. Layout is good. Conditions are fine considering time of year, other than the aforementioned greens issues.

Ehh

First, the staff sent a fivesome out, on a weekend. The ranger mentioned that the five some was allowed out because of a skins games. Needless to say, pace of play suffered. Course was in fine condition for the time of year, however, greens were inconsistent. I could see this course being nice when the weather finally breaks. It is house lined basically throughout the entire course, which gets a bit boring for me. Worth the hotdeal price, for sure.

Fine

Fun little old school course(small greens, tightish fairways, plenty of doglegs). Green weren’t as great as several reviews said, plenty bumpy and inconsistent. Pace of play was ok, until I made the turn, I don’t know if they sent another group out or the group in front of us took their sweet time in the snack shop. Overall it was a fine experience considering the hotdeal price.

Really disappointing. Only played a few holes because pace of play was so horrible. They had a ranger out there, but he was mainly starting groups, not maintaining a proper pace. Though he was acting as a starter, a twosome snuck out in front of me while he was gone...at my tee time! When the starter finally arrived, I told him that they completely ignored me standing on the tee and just took off. He replied, "Oh, maybe it was the 12:08" Sir, it's 12:24, and that's my tee time...not my fault they were late, but it is now. Anyway, pace of play is always horrendous here, always.
Course conditions: plenty of bare and mushy spots, greens didn't look or roll stellar and a lot of pine needles all over them, tons of unfilled divots, tee boxes pretty hairy...and that's just in the few holes I played. I guess it is winter, but still worth mentioning.
All around unacceptable day.

Got paired up with three other guys which, obviously, I expected. Little disappointed when one guy had jeans on and another a tee shirt. Good guys, but not good golfers(which they admitted and played from whites). Point is that our group really slowed up the of play. The ranger came out and told us that we needed to pick up the pace and probably let the group behind pass on a par 3; excellent job, I commend him for saying that. It's only fair because other people payed to play, too.
Walking into the clubhouse to pay, I've never seen anybody with a smile on; it's not they most inviting atmosphere, but they're aren't rude either, so it's whatever.
Course conditions: Challenging course that's well maintained even in the winter. I've played with a few higher handicaps here on different occasions, and they all seem to have a tougher day, so don't be afraid to play it forward. Plenty of tees for different handicaps.
