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.

Golf staff was very friendly. Not so much with the bar staff.
Big biff
Love this course, green the fasted I have ever been on, they are really hard and run with the lightest of touch making them so hard to get a great read the course is in great condition and it was great when the starter, the course manager remembered both my self and my hubby
Great new greens!
This Champion bermuda grass that is being used on greens is perfect! The greens here are large, undulating, and quick - quite a challenge if you are in the wrong spot on the green. Once they soften up some, they will hold approach shots better, but it is tough to complain about greens this nice. Enjoyed looking at the new pot bunkers, but I managed to stay out of them. Pace of play was on the slow side - no marshall or cart lady on a Sunday?? Course is in great shape. Pricey, but worth it.
Awesome!
The greens were the best I've putted. The rest of the course was in excellent shape. My first time playing since the greens and bunkers were updated.
Great course
Well laid out, very picturest. The fairways and greens were in great shape. Very enjoyable.
How does it not get more play
This course for the price 30$ is the best deal I have got I drive almost a hour simply off the picture as we are pullin in my buddy in the back seat says"wow good call" green fast and roll good tee box on all but a few flat and well kept. Starter was friendly and told me what I needed to know I don't understand wow this course isn't getting a lot of play it there was about 8 cars in the parking lkt
Tee boxes need some work
The greens and fairways were awesome, the tee boxes need some work. Pace of play was extremely slow due to us being behind a group of 32 individuals playing in some kind of tournament.
Nothing to complain about
Course is challenging but fair, greens are new and hard but will hold a well struck shot from a good lie, even though they had a fresh coating of sand on them they rolled true and fast. The course has a wonderful mix of diffent types of holes and shots to keep you interested. If you leave here complaining then you're impossible to please..
Great shape and fast greens
This was my first time playing Talamore with the new greens, even though they are extremely fast they were enjoyable to putt on. In a year or two once the greens mature and hold iron shots this will be a top public course in the area. Fairways and rough are in great shape. Best course I've played for $30 in my 25 years of playing golf. Well worth the drive from the Charlotte area.
Course is in great shape
Fun round at Talamore. Course was in great shape. Starter was very friendly and gave me some good advice since I was first there. Bunkers were in great shape...try and stay out of the pot bunkers
Talamore enjoyment
The golf course is a great layout different tees giving all players of opportunities to play the course was in great condition and deafly should be on your golf lesson
Great Value
Good course. Excellent staff. Enjoyed our round very much
Ancient golfer
Nice course and staff. Course in good condition except greens are hard surface and don't hold iron shots very well. Too slow pace took 5 hours to play. By time we got to10th tee had 6 carts waiting.from there we waited most shots and nobody let us play thru. Needed marshal to make pace speed up.
Fun Layout
First time playing Talamore since the redesign. Very fun, fair layout. Generous fairways, greens were not too severe......speed and undulation wise. The sand is very fluffy and heavy......and many of the traps at greenside have very steep faces.....almost look like revetted walls. Overall, well worth the drive from Raleigh.
Good course
Greens weren't that great
Not much grass in the fairway
Little river was better
Terrible Pairing
We scheduled a time to play around 11am, the course staff moved us back to 1120AM and paired us with 2 kids that were playing a practice round for some upcoming tournament. We were on the course for over 5 hours and the last thing we wanted to do was play gold with two middle school aged kids while their parents rode along and watched and coached them.
Great course conditions but truly an awful experience.
Solid course
First time playing Talamore and it was very enjoyable. Booked through GolfNow and had no issues. Played with 3 guys down from Minnesota on the last day of their golf vacation. The staff was very friendly from the bag drop through check in and to the starter. The course is overall player friendly from the local rules to the new layout. Yes the greens are new within the last year and still a bit firm but they were in awesome shape. They rolled great and they held approach shots that came in high. The rest of the course was in awesome shape considering it is late July in the Sandhills and hotter than h*ll here this time of year. 5 sets of tee boxes to suit your game. Some forced carries and the new bunkering was challenging and fair. I did like the Links style grass faced bunkers around the greens. I only see this course getting better with time for the greens to soften up. Pace of play was 4 hours and 10 minutes on a Sunday that was fully booked. Plenty of water on the course to help keep you hydrated. Definitely will play here again.
Enjoyable Experience
Nice course. Fairly wide open and friendly. We were a twosome and pace of play was good. Didn't wait until 15th hole. Port-o-johns on the course but you do go by the clubhouse when making the turn.
I would play again if I was in the area.
