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.

Amazing experience

Golf course was stunning. Can’t even count the amount of times someone in our group mentioned how beautiful a certain hole looked. Pace of play was amazing, we didn’t see anyone the whole day. The starter Lou was a treat. Wanted him to ride around with us the entire round. He was great... just a great Pinehurst course. Could be my favorite in the area... make sure you play here if you can!

Best greens in NC

Talamore is a must play in North Carolina. With the quality of golf in the surrounding area, I would put the greens at Talamore up against any around. You WILL NOT be disappointed playing this course. Wish we played another 18 right after. Also, the starter might have been one of the nicest and most professional people I’ve met. MUST PLAY!!!

Great Value and Course

Coming from out of town I just wanted to go with a place that had an early hot deal. Talamore was that place. The course conditions were great. The greens were perfect and very receptive. The course states that number 16 is the #1 handicap and im not sure why because the toughest hole of the day was for sure #1. Decent par 5 right out of the gate. Staff was friendly. Would definitely play here again should I be in the area.

Best deal ever on GolfNow

Got a hot deal for $42 and omg what an amazing track. Usually see this course over $100 and was a little worried that for $42 I’d find aerated greens or something but the course was absolutely prime. My favorite in the Pinehurst area and that includes #2. Fun challenge. Wonderful mixture of holes and great condition.

Must play this gem!

My first 5 star review goes to Talamore without hesitation. Wonderful and extremely friendly staff. Great and challenging course layout. Course management is helpful to score well on this track and there are a few holes that reward hitting bombs. Fluffy and true sand traps. Well manicured fairways. Nice carts with accurate gps. Dirt cart paths were smooth as pavement. But the real victory are the pristine greens! Fast and smooth like the ones on tour. If you’re thinking about playing Talamore, do it and enjoy.
