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.

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.
Always a winner
Great layout great conditions. Should play here more often.

Great condition
Everything is great except for the range...very thin with not much grass to hit off. But that's common for this time of year. Speedy greens!

Great Winter Golf Day
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Got us checked in, down to the range, told us the greens were cut and rolled. Course was in amazing shape. We had the place to ourselves. Played in 3.5 hours. Sunny and 55 little bit of wind. Going back soon.

Great Value and Conditions!
I cannot wait to go back and play this course again. Amazing resort quality conditions at a fair price. Friendly staff. Pace of play was wonderful until last 6 holes when a group of seniors backed everyone up. No ranger in site but considering time of year and weather conditions I suppose that was to be expected.

Love this course
I doubt you will find a better course at a price this good! Even though there has been a lot of rain recently the course was in great shape. Greens roll smooth and true. Layout is great with a lot of variety. Not much water which is nice too! Will definitely be playing again!

First class place
Really love this course. Excellent value for the money. Great layout. Challenging, but not brutal. Fast true greens. Spacious tee boxes which are important to navigate the angles on the many doglegs. Possibly the finest bunkers I’ve ever played out of. Perfect sand. Not too thick or too thin. Nice spacious clubhouse with fabulous hand made bloody marys at the bar. We drove an hour from Durham but it was WELL worth it.

Stunning track!
Untouched by the cold nor wet weather is Talamore GC. See it to believe it.
It is everything you want in a golf course that allows a variety of playing strategies from tee to green. Referring to the same tee box that is.
Varying elevations , undulating fairways and super fast Bermuda greens that are bottle-green in color as opposed to their lush green counterpart bent-grass (also thriving on other courses of choice esp. in the Raleigh area) are quite a pleasure to contend with .
Before the dead of winter arrives.

Best course I’ve played around the area
Excellent course. Even with it being winter and a lot of the grass going dormant for the season and rain the day prior the conditions were excellent. The greens are superb. They’re quite difficult but in excellent shape and a lot of fun to play.

Great course
The course is in great condition even when it was raining the day before. fairways are nice and the greens are better. layout is somewhat challenge and fair. Crews are
super nice. The pace is a bit slow but it is a nice Saturday, so everybody is enjoying the course.

very nice course
great course and great staff. Need to have one of the many marshals monitor pace of play. Guys in front of us spend way too long looking for lost balls. A 4 hour round turned into 4.5.
