Getting excited. In 83 days we leave for our 'golf buddies' trip to Pinehurst, NC. This year we are playing Talamore Golf Club, Longleaf Golf & Country Club, Hyland Golf Club, and Tobacco Road. I am sure we will play Pinehurst 3 or 4 as well.

Sounds like you've been there before, but if you need food and or beverage recommendations, let me know.  Have a great time!

How was the trip @phedrick? I’m enroute right now, taking a long drive from western NY to Melbourne FL. Will be playing Tobacco Road, Talamore, and whatever I can get on to at Pinehurst as a single. Today is my five-days-out booking window so I’ll be calling soon. Also trying to get on the Cradle with my wife in the mid afternoon before we depart and drive to Myrtle Beach.

Consider Southern Pines if you can. They have re-done it. @iacashas a write here somewhere. I played years ago and am jonesing to get back there. I hear an absolute gem and value. @DaveP043, might have a more recent update/thoughts on it.

Southern Pines is highly recommended.

Though I think everyone should see Tobacco Road once, it's not everyone's cup of tea (I'm relatively ambivalent on it after the first play, but it's in incredible condition right now). I'd put a few courses in the area above it, though:

  • Southern Pines
  • Mid Pines
  • Pine Needles
  • Dormie Club if you can get on
  • Longleaf might be good (I've heard it's gotten some nice renovations).

There's also a "Whispering Woods" in Whispering Pines, NC, so you could tick off the "Whispering Woods Double" if you play that within a month of playing the one here in Erie, PA. 😄

About Southern Pines, I've only heard the rumors and feedback on golf websites, including @iacas comments here, and they're all pretty good.  I'll be down there for two weeks in November, and its already on my list.  I'm interested that Erik suggests Longleaf, I've played there just once and wasn't real impressed by the layout.  I did hear about their renovation, maybe its time to give it another shot.

My daughter just played Longleaf and TR, and she liked them both. I've heard from a few others that the renovation made a big difference.

I played it last about ten years ago, and I wasn't blown away then, like Dave has implied. So my "recommendation" of LL is second-hand.

Ok just booked 18 single for Southern Pines on Oct 25! So I’m playing Tobacco Road, Talamore, and Southern Pines. 
 

I probably wouldn’t prioritize Talamore but they let me camp there in my van the night before my round. 🚐⛳️
 

thanks for the advice

It was great, thank you.  Tobacco Road was a real ass kicker for me!   LOL.  I do like Talamore, a lot.  Keep your eyes open between 12 and 13, I think, for the paddock that holds the lamas!  The Cradle was much more difficult than I had anticipated.  Have fun!

      Day 24: 5/15/25 Chipping on indoor carpet and some weight shift work.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 44 - Hit some wedges with the intention of working on my 100-yard shot, but instead worked the face a bit. Intentionally trying to hit the toe, heel, and center of the face. I definitely have a heel bias, but focusing on turning my body helped to get things in the center.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I think for this, I need to work on my weight transfer. I can feel my self looking up early and falling back slightly. So, I am hitting them a bit fat right now. I need to stay on my left side better or get to my left side better. Kind of like old pattern stuff.  Yep, I was a bit worried about the driver since we didn't get to it. First drive was a push draw because I moved the ball back a bit because there is no range to warm up and I wanted to make sure contact was good. I hit it great, just pushed it slightly. I was like, OK, this will work. I moved the ball back to the normal position and the next 4 out of 5 holes I used a driver was just the ball at most 10 yards off my target line. 😃

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Didn’t score the best, but probably the best I’ve done implementing the swing feels on the course.  Preshot routine - make one practice swing hands down only hitting  the ground like 3 ft behind the ball. Make a 2nd practice swing where I add a bit of turn back in.  Set up and make a swing with those feels. Driver - A stripe show. Just laser beams at my target. Like under 10 yards of curve. Irons - pretty solid. Contact was flush. Just slight pull draws. Just need a bit of face control. It’s close. I had an 8 iron that left the club, didn’t leave the flagstick. The ball probably moved 1 yard in the air. I came up like 4 yards short.  Distance wedges - Needs work.  Short Game - needs work from different lies. Putting - Made almost everything inside of 10 ft.  Going forwards, still going to work on the swing. Backswing length and arms down stuff. I need to work on my distance wedges a lot.
