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.

Loved it
First time playing the course and it was awesome! Staff was super friendly and informative about the history of course. They spaced the tee times really well making the pace of play a joy. We finished our 18 in just under 4 hours!

Beautiful course and friendly staff!
It has been at least 15 years since I last played Talamore, and I was excited to return, and my excitement paid off. The course was serene and stunning, and it was in as good of shape as any I've played. The houses aren't intrusive, and the pine trees give it a feel of privacy and beauty You can tell the course gets a lot of play with the remnants of ball marks all over the greens, but they were mostly cleaned up nicely, and the greens were hard and fast with a lot of breaking putts. Make sure you leave your ball below the hole, or you might do what we did a couple of times and putt it right off the surface. The staff was very, very friendly, including the pro shop, main bartender, the halfway house, and starter (who had stories to tell). The valet was a bit rushed, but reasonable. Maintenance staff was visible (and playable) working on bunkers on a few holes, but that's expected for a Thursday. Pace of play was great. As a threesome, we had no waiting at all and no one pushing us. Make sure you check out the llamas - Talamore's signature - on hole 14.

Great course in good condition
Great course in good condition but still a bit overpriced. Used to play it with a Capital Card for $60. Now the daily rate is double that and even with a GolfNow Hot Deal it was $100.

6 (YES 6) HOUR ROUND!!!
Talamore is a great track and in great shape however, things have gotten out of control with the pace of play. Today’s round took 6 hours to complete!!! You could say it was because carts were on path only, or the frost delay caused a shotgun start, or even because there was a tournament going on, but none of those things were the reason. I personally saw the foursome that held everything up. There were AT LEAST two open holes in front of them. We had a second foursome in our group but things were so slow they left after 9 holes. I spoke to the ranger who responded with a nonsensical answer that did address why play was so slow.
If you are wanting to play a great course, have a lot of time to kill, and don’t mind having to cancel dinner plans, Talamore is the place for you. Conversely, if you are a golfer who values your time and doesn’t have 6 hours to spend on the golf course, you may want to look elsewhere.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
