The Talamore Way

Talamore

“ ended up really being a blessing in disguise, for less than I would have paid for a hotel room at Pinehurst Resort I had a two bedroom condo with all the accommodations of home.”

- Rob Spellman, “Pinehurst: The Talamore Way” as seen in the Golf Aficionado

fter spending four days in a row on Mid South as my daughter’s caddy during the 2018 Teen World Championships, I fell in love with the course. In fact, when we left town it felt like breaking up with a girlfriend, and boy she was a hottie! Mid South is an Arnold Palmer design still fresh off a complete renovation in 2017.

Mid South was only 25 years young when Talamore decided it

was time to renovate. The renovation was managed in-house and the team at Talamore did an amazing job. Having walked every inch of the course I can tell you they didn’t leave a stone unturned.

The course is in meticulous condition and the greens are back to their original size when the course opened in 1993.

Having played Pinehurst No 2. during the trip, I would say compared to Mid South, Pinehurst No. 2 is as flat as a pancake. It’s not just the terrain at Mid South but the course has a perfect mix of bunkers and water hazards that heighten the challenge while rounding out a world-class design.

Compared to other courses in the Pinehurst area, the terrain at Mid South is much more diverse.

The New Course at

talamore No ordinary golf course receives the kind of acclaim and international praise that has been given to The New Course at Talamore since it’s opening in 1991.

Talamore has been ranked in the forefront of outstanding courses in the Village of Pinehurst area.

Architect Rees Jones brought his considerable talents back to the Sandhills to design a course that would be visually striking and exceptionally enjoyable.

The result was a 7,020-yard course that was ranked in the Top Five New Courses in America and Best New Course in the South by Golf Digest.

mid south Located across from The New Course at Talamore, the exclusive Mid South Club was opened with a vision to be one of the Village of Pinehurst area’s premier private clubs. The 540 acres of longleaf pine forests, lakes and gently rolling hillside terrain allowed the legendary Arnold Palmer to put his stamp on the fabled Sandhills area with a design many say is simply his best work ever.

Ranked the #1 Private Course in the Area by Pinehurst Magazine and second overall only to Pinehurst No. 2. Golf Digest ranked the Mid South Course in the Top 20 Best Courses in NC. Complimenting the course is the 25,000 square foot clubhouse that provides sweeping golf and water views of the 9th & 18th holes.

The additional nine holes were added in 1912 to complete this links-style layout. This layout has been largely untouched to this day. Also, we have NEW forward tees and NEW black tees...6 sets to accommodate all levels of players.

PINEHURST B C rewing

PINEHURST BREWING COMPANY GAINS NATIONAL NOTICE Pinehurst Brewing Company recently garnered high praise from a food critic and travel writer for USA Today.

On Wednesday, the newspaper published a laudatory online review of the budding brewpub, which opened its doors in October. Writer Larry Olmsted singled out the establishment’s food menu and atmosphere.

“Everything is solidly enjoyable comfort food, so it is really hard to go wrong here, while the ambiance is just amazing,” he wrote. “That may explain why so many people keep coming back and why everyone I talked to, from cab drivers to caddies, urged me to go and try the place.”

Writing about the beer lineup, Olmsted said he was “wowed” by the Malvavisco imperial stout. The beer, he wrote, is “rich and creamy with a velvety texture – and a whopping 12.75 percent alcohol by volume.”

Chief brewer Eric Mitchell is no stranger to plaudits. He was recruited to Pinehurst from Heist Brewery in Charlotte, where his concoctions won praise from Beer Advocate Magazine and other niche publications.

Still, the review in USA Today, one of the most circulated newspapers in the nation, is likely to bring considerable exposure to the seven-month-old establishment in Pinehurst.

Cradle THE

Pinehurst Short Course -789 yds-

THE CRADLE: PINEHURST’S PAR-3 SHORT COURSE IS LONG ON FUN

Famed golf architect Gil Hanse would find himself at a stopping point while working at one of the most prestigious golf destinations in the country. He’d shut down the canary-colored bulldozer he was driving, hop down to the upended turf and take a walk.

Hanse would stroll about 30, 40, maybe 50 feet from the dozer, and with his dusty golf cap pulled down far, nearly obstructing the view of his stylish sunglasses, he’d fold his arms and gaze over the land. After a few minutes, he’d nod to himself, unfold his arms and slowly walk back and up into the cockpit of the dozer, his eyes focused on the ground immediately in front of him.

This was Hanse’s daily process in the weeks after he broke ground on what can only be described as a monumental moment in Pinehurst history. After all, even with nine golf courses already, building a new course at Pinehurst will always be a big deal.

But this course is different. This is The Cradle, Pinehurst Resort’s 9-hole par-3 short course. And it’s another example of the myriad ways Pinehurst continues to evolve and adapt Pete M. Anderson | August 20, 2019 for today’s travelers and guests.

CAFE Our History...

Vince Continenza purchased Ironwood, originally called Ironwood Cafe, on May 22, 2006. Initially, he kept the existing staff, as well as the original menu.

One morning, after month two of ownership, Vince walked through the door and instantly felt like an intruder in someone else’s restaurant. This is when he began making Ironwood a place of his own.

Over the next few months, significant changes were made to the restaurant, including a new layout in parts of the dining area and the introduction of a new menu. After these changes were made, he walked through the door, stood back, looked around and proudly said, “Now this is my restaurant”.

Many more changes and improvements have followed over the years, making the Ironwood one of the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area’s most popular and successful dining establishments.

Our Unique Setting...

Tucked in between the towering North Carolina pines along historic Midland Road, guests park their cars in the surrounding natural sand and pine needles and enter through Ironwood’s signature patchwork door. There they are warmly greeted by a smiling hostess or by Vince himself. Ironwood’s atmosphere is both inviting and casual. Bar seating includes high-top tables, and flat-screen TV’s for viewing the day’s golf and sports coverage. The separate dining room is modern, spacious and airy, while the patio offers a taste of true Southern hospitality with al fresco dining under old southern magnolias and features a stunning fire-enhanced fountain.
