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.

Green were firm and fast
Talamore's renovated the course and it is in excellent condition. I would highly recommend you go talk to Miles who done an awesome job welcoming us to talamore. Only thing missing a nice little chipping area would complete tis already fantastic golf course.
Great course
They switched to champion Bermuda last year and the greens are fantastic. Great conditions and a nice bar for drinks after. Will play again.
Love the Changes, same unfriendly proshop
Haven't played at Talamore in a couple of years, since before the renovations. Absolutely LOVE the new greens and bunkers. Problem with new greens, though no fault of the course, is that they are so firm they are impossible to hold a shot making for a miserable playing experience. In time this course is going to be OUTSTANDING when greens soften a bit but love the changes, well done. The bag drop / starter gets 5 stars for friendliness and customer service, the tall grump in the proshop I would give a zero if possible. Was checking out course for possible site of our 20 person golf group annual trip next year but would not want to deal with this guy's attitude for 4 days. Rude, unassuming and definitely could care less about customer service. Grill and beverage cart personnel were both GREAT, 5 stars. Once the greens work in and soften a bit, this course will be a must play, but right now you may want to practice chipping on to the parking lot to prepare for these greens.
Beautiful fast new greens
Great course & layout. The new greens are great but very hard & fast.
Decent layout, bad greens
This is the second time I have played this course, with the last time being two years ago. I left the course feeling like the course conditions worsened vs. my last time here. Apparently, they recently completed a redesign of the greens and performed other course updates. The greens undulations were unnaturally tiered, and rock hard and not receptive to irons or pitches. The grass in the chipping areas around the green was sparse and barren in spots. Also, there are several holes with very deep, sod faced bunkers which we very difficult to play from, particularly with greens as hard as they were. Overall, I had a favorable impression of the course coming in to the day, but left disappointed.
Awesome
Best greens I've ever played on. Course has some St Andrews type bunkers so be prepared to lose a few strokes! Great everything here and I will come back in the fall.
Pitchputt
Good course to play
After played tobacco road golf club yesterday, my expectation was not high for this course. If you haven't played the tobacco road course, then you definitely should. In my opinion it's the course to be in Pinehurst. But Talamore impress me more than I expected. Green was in great condition, the fairways were fun and interesting with elevation changes. My only complaints were the pace of the play and lack of grass in some of the fairways. As an out of towner, first time playing this course, I usually like to play with locals to get some guides on how best to play the course.
I originally booked to play with another twosome, but they reassigned my playing partner. I ended up playing by myself, waiting on every hole and virtually every shot! Five hours for the round.
Other than that I really enjoyed the course.
Didn't find the pro shop staff person that helpful. Asked about a replay and he advised should be no problem. When we come back in after our round we were advised there would a 2 hr wait for a replay.
Price for the course and replay was high for this time of year. Also having to pay for range balls at that price was disappointing
Talamore Resort Pinehurst
I have played this course 20 or more times. They have transitioned to Bermuda greens and renovated the course. The changes have made the course more player friendly. Fewer bunkers and trees. They have however added some challenging pot bunkers. The greens are in great shape and the fairways are good considering spring has just hit the area. I used a "Hot Deal" and some rewards to lower the price from $45 to $35. The Golfnow price was ridiculous for a premiere Pinehurst course. Highly recommend Talamore.
We had a wonderful experience the staff was great course beautiful conditions and the pace of play could not have been better
A Sandhills Gem
The recently completed renovations at Talamore have made the golf course a must-play for anyone travelling to the Pinehurst area. The new bermuda greens roll true and will be an absolute treat throughout the warm summer months. The short par-4 ninth hole is the best on the golf course in my opinion. It features tight tee shot protected by a long fairway bunker down the left-hand side (which I promptly found myself in) followed by an uphill wedge or short-iron approach into an undulating green that slopes from back to front. The key new feature on the hole that makes it truly one of the greats is the pair of deep grass-faced bunkers dug into the front of the green complex. Any approach that comes up short is sure to wind up in one of these traps, requiring a links-style side or backward shot to get out of this sandy prison. 5 stars, Talamore. 5 stars!
Best course this time of year
Loved the layout,undulating fairways,,greens in great shape! Loved this course :)
Well worth playing
I played this course immediately after a few hours of rain. Of course it was soggy, but still very playable. Even the couple bunkers I ended up in were still soft enough to hit out of. Enjoyed the layout, nice mix of gettable and challenging holes. The new greens played great and rolled true. The price was unbeatable, played a hot deal tee time with a promo code and paid less than 10. Attendants were fantastic, starter gave me more than enough info about layout. Will definitely go back.
Great Course
Cart paths were under repair but did not affect play.
Very good course , a lot of Improvements make this a excellent choice for a round , new Scottish stlye bunkers are a change up for this area ! Go play it !
Must play course for Pinehurst vistors
I enjoyed this course and great condition when I moved to NC 6 years ago. I returned yesterday after a great Golf Now rate and so glad I made the 1.5 hour drive. Well maintained, good bunkers, level tee boxes, great greens, friendly staff. Speed of greens was not too fast compared to other courses in the area this time of year. There was a lot of cart path construction ongoing on the front nine but manageable. Only drawback was pace of play a bit slow and no marshals were visible but I was in no hurry on this warm February day.
