The Southern Pines, N.C., property and its Mid South Club will offer a limited number of “Magnolia Memberships” for non-property owners for the first time. Both Mid South and Talamore now feature renovated golf courses and updated clubhouses.
For the first time, a limited number of non-property owners will have access to memberships at Mid South Club and Talamore Golf Resort in Southern Pines, N.C., the Southern Pines-based Pilot reported.
A limited number of “Magnolia Memberships” will be made available to non-property owners. Opening the membership to non-property owners is among a series of recent changes at the property, which now offers the newly renamed “King’s Course” at Mid South, the Pilot reported.
This summer, the King’s Course got new Champion Bermuda greens along with a host of other course renovations, the Pilot reported.
“The greens restoration is nothing short of a watershed event,” said General Manager Matt Hausser. “Some greens increased by as much as 40 percent, as the many years of Bermuda encroachment is removed and the greens have been restored to their original shape and size. It’s incredible. All of the greens had shrunken to oval shape because of the Bermuda encroachment. We now have fingers and approach areas that we never knew existed. The opportunity for many unique pin placements will make the course even more fun and challenging.”
Along with the green’s renovation is a Mid South clubhouse overhaul. “Our membership has grown in a lot of new directions over the past several years and the Clubhouse needed to move with the times,” said Hausser.
The back porch has now been enclosed to include a new bar, which will have indoor and outdoor seating and big screen TVs for sporting events. The main floor receives a full cosmetic overhaul with new furniture, flooring and a few other surprise touches to give it a unique and updated feel, the Pilot reported.
Also in store is a dedicated kids area for members, which will have PlayStations, Nintendo, comfortable beanbag seating and more. “Members will be able to visit the club and feel comfortable to enjoy their time while the kids can do their thing,” said Hausser.
A new deck with pergola covered seating, outdoor living spaces with fire-pits are also in store. Upstairs at Mid South is the adult’s only Crow’s Nest, which boasts the finest views and bartending in the area. Comfortable seating indoors and out make this the ultimate private club hangout out, the Pilot reported.
“The new clubhouse features along with our renowned Crow’s Nest are in keeping with where private Clubs need to be,” said Hausser. “It’s all about quality time with friends and family. The Club is the center of that universe and needs to have the facilities to pull it off.”
At Talamore, the Rees Jones design is coming off its acclaimed course and greens renovation also with Champion Bermuda. “It has been an incredible year,” said Tag Leon, Talamore’s Manager. “I have been here for 15 years and in the golf business all my life and never seen anything like it. We removed 75 bunkers, enhanced cart path access to all holes, improved walk on and off to greens, and of course added our new signature sod wall bunkers. Members and guests are thrilled with the new experience.”
Talamore also received a major clubhouse renovation that included an expanded bar, enclosed rear patio, and comfortable seating with a unique new old time, rustic feel, the Pilot reported.
Alongside the Palmer and Jones’ centerpieces are club amenities including two clubhouses, pools at both properties, Jacuzzis, kiddie pool, tennis, basketball and even pickle ball, the Pilot reported.
