Talamore Golf Resort
About
Resort Course at Talamore Golf Resort is a Rees Jones masterpiece that was nominated as "Best New Public Course of the Year" when opened and has become a regular stop for annual returnees to Pinehurst.
The centuries-old tradition of using llamas to help humans carry packs has been revived with a new twist at Talamore. These gentle, hardy animals can carry two bags of clubs with ease and sure-footedness. Their soft padded feet are kind to the delicate surfaces of a golf course. Known for their friendly and quiet manners, llamas make the perfect caddies. Now you can treat yourself and your friends to a truly distinctive golf experience.

First time, won’t be the last
Had first tee time of the day, course staff were great, helped me understand how to play the course a bit. Greens are the defense of this course, practice on the putting green before going out for sure! Not too much crazy about the layout but it’s challenging in shot making on approach. New pot bunkers are a great feature, avoid at all costs! Definitely a place to put on your list for the area!
Always good
The new short game area and top tracer range will be awesome. The new bunkers are fantastic with the sod faced riveting. Pace was right on four hours, and the greens were pure. My brother and dad had a great time too.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u787194556! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Talamore Golf Resort.
Awesome day
The stay is always super friendly and happy to have you there. They are installing a new shortcake area and top tracer range, which will be awesome. The greens were super fast, and I was leaving it above the hole all day. Yikes.
The llamas were out, and my brother and dad had a great time too.
Your feedback is important to us, u787194556. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Talamore Golf Resort.
Disappointing and overpriced
Very disappointed with the overall condition of the course which was supposed to be one of the best conditioned courses in the area. Tees and fairways were fine but the rough was brown and crusty and the greens had splotches on them. Layout was ok with very little water and not many memorable holes.
Hi, kwinegrad! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
Ok, but not again
We decided to make Talamore the high-end course this year and it definitely back fired on us. First of all, they moved our tee time back to accomodate a Women's Golf Association outing and it took us nearly three hours to play the first nine holes. Layout is ok, but the greens aren't worth what you're paying for.
The staff could certainly stand to have some customer service training as they have the biggest impact on perceived value. I got the feeling that the cart assistant out front either doesn't like his job or really didn't want to be there that day. The pro shop attendant was mildly better in that he wasn't outright rude.
I recommend a hard pass on this course as completely over-priced for the area as there are too many better options from clubs who seem to genuinely want you there.

Always great
One of my favorite courses in the area. Greens are pure, and the complexes are interesting. Plus you get to see llamas!!
Pace was right on 4 hours, and we had a blast.

So much potential..
Played this course today after getting a hot deal tee time for $50! And lets just say, I’m glad I did because I wouldnt have been too happy if I had paid $100. I know this course can probably justify that price in the spring/summer but it was very wet and muddy today. The layout was great however and if you can snag a tee time for $50 here, I would recommend.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, BrendanZielanski. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Talamore Golf Resort!

Best off-season experience you could have!
Played here on Valentines Day and could have asked for a better overall experience. The staff was incredible, all very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I was the first group out and paired with another first-time visitor to the course. The conditions were great considering all the bad weather recently. Greens very well taken care of, fairways right and rough challenging but not rage inducing lol. Waited for my ride in the beautiful clubhouse and bar looking out over the course. I will definitely be back the first chance I get! Also if you get a hot now deal it feels like you’re stealing from them, this place is amazing!
Your feedback is important to us, AndrewC151. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Talamore Golf Resort.

Great Value!
What a treat getting to play here earlier this week, it’s February, it’s been wet and the course is still amazing, cannot wait to go back! The New bunkers are looking great and the range when completed will be fantastic.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Mike1788491! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Talamore Golf Resort.
Rained out
Course too wet. Golf course canceled play before I tees off.
Thank you for your review, u000008034273. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Talamore Golf Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good Value In Southern Pines
We live in Raleigh and have done a day trip to Talamore twice recently. On a decent winter day, this is a great value, and a fun course to play. The owner is investing in the course and facilities, and it shows. Currently, the practice range is closed as they upgrade it, but come Spring in will be nice. They are adding pot bunkers to several holes, which gives them a great look. It is a good track, with a mix of difficult holes and a few that are scoreable. If you decide to stay nearby, there are several additional great options for playing.

Great time
Though the course is putting in a new driving range, so no pre-round practice, the course was is great shape for winter golf. Will go back again.
Hello, GOlfn23. Thank you for visiting us at Talamore Golf Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Best hidden course in Moore County
I’ve lived in the Pinehurst area since 1986 and saw this course for the first time. I must say I was astonished at the excellent layout of the course and the beauty of it all. Tough enough to demand good ball striking but not so tough as to ruin a great day. My son and I absolutely loved the course and consider it our favorite. Looking forward to the next round at Talamore

Fair track, fun layout
Good track. The greens are tough, getting to them not as much. You can score here if you have the flat stick working. Staff was friendly. I played in the winter for $50; not sure I'd love it as much at the regular $100+ rate.
