Great course, great value

I stopped off on my way back from the coast to check out the course, as I heard so many good things about it. I teed off around 2 pm on a Sunday and it was busier than I was expecting, but the pace of play was still very, very good.

I played the brown tees, which play long for an average golfer. The wind also plays a big role. The greens killed me. They were very, very fast. The guy I played with said he plays there often, and the greens are usually quick, but this was faster than normal.

You can't go wrong with this course. Great value, just prepare yourself for some fast greens!

Great service

I use the Finley range all the time and play the course when I can get a good deal. The course is always in fantastic shape and the greens are the best in the area at rolling true. They are bent grass, so they get a little marked up, but no other greens I play roll as well.

I had a 440 tee time as a single and was hoping to be able to get 18 in, but it was Friday afternoon and there was a line to tee off. The starter/ranger offered to take me out to the 6th hole where it was open, that way I would be able to get ahead of the Fri afternoon crowd and finish my round. Such a big deal and such a smart thing to do. It was really appreciated.

Was able to get all 18 in walking because of that.

The front 9 (IMO) is really easy. The 9th hole's second shot is tough, but that's about it. The back 9 is a whole different story. It has 4 very tough holes (10, 11, 15 and 16 IMO).

Anyways, had a great round, had a great day and really appreciate Finley and its staff helping me out.

Awesome course but drenched

This is just an awesome golf course. I've played a lot of courses in the Myrtle Beach area and I think King's North and South Creek might be my two favorites. That being said, the course is drenched. There was standing water on a lot of fairways and don't expect much roll on your drives. There were some people ahead of us who packed it back in and the course was mostly empty. There has been A TON of rain this summer in Myrtle, not much the course can do about that.

I would love to play here again when Mother Nature takes it easy on the place.

Nice course for $31

This was a really good value for a round of golf. The course is pretty long even from the white tees especially with the wet ground from all of the rain. I had a lot of long approach shots. It reminded me a lot of Arcadian Shores. It's a really well maintained older course that is a good value and fun to play.

Very nice course

We enjoyed our round at Talamore. The staff was excellent, just fantastic.

We got there about 45 minutes early for a 12:44 tee time and we did get to tee off a little early which was great.

The course was in excellent condition. The greens were superb. I really enjoyed the round. I played the white tees, if I went back I would probably move back a tee box for myself.

The course was supercrowded. They had just overseeded and it was cart path only. There really was no solution, it was what it was. We played the front nine again after the turn which was a solution for us and got our round in on time. If we played the back, I doubt we would have finished before dark.

My only regret is not getting to see their trademark llamas on the 14th hole!

All about the golf

I have played this course a couple of times and really enjoy it. The greens were extremely fast when I played this time and the breaks are hard to read and severe. If you are not hitting the ball straight or having a rough day on the greens your score can balloon here.

This course is all about the golf. If you enjoy golf on a very scenic, challenging course and are not concerned about the clubhouse's appearance or course amenities then this is a course for you.

Great value as well, for a difficult, scenic course on a beautiful, sunny day in early November.

Beautiful course and great price. Unbelievable value.

Had a fantastic time on a Sunday afternoon. The course was in immaculate condition. Didn't see many other golfers out there, it was quite windy and there had been a college tournament there earlier. So the pace of play was as fast as we wanted it to be.

Greens were in unbelievable shape. Very modern GPS units in the carts.

Just an incredible value.
