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.

Talamore in February
A excellent golf course in Pinehurst area. The course was in excellent shape for February, the staff was very friendly, the grille was affordable. Pace of play was a little slow. Played in a twosome behind three foursomes.
Course offers several sets of tees so you can find a distance you like to play. A few blind shots off tees but over all the course is in front of you. Greens have some undulations and are fairly quick, but are in great shape. I highly recommend this course!
nice course
I had made a tee time as a single to fill out a threesome that was already booked. When I got there , I found out they had shown up with four , so they sent me out by myself, which was fine . The course it self is in good shape , considering the time of year . Greens were very nice. However , as I have seen mentioned in other reviews, some of the cart paths are not good , to say the least. I did see signs that the issues were being addressed , so hopefully that will continue. It was worth the drive for the money I paid.
Great layout with excellent conditions....
I've played here probably 4 times since August of last year and it's still, as it was then, in sensational condition. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens are near perfect. I take advantage of the Golfnow rates as often as I can being local resident now and am getting truly spoiled. If you're planning a package or coming just for the day this is one of the best around here.
Great renovation
I've always loved this course but haven't played it in a while. I didn't know they had put in new greens,removed 60+ bunkers. The greens are A ++ perfect. They are still doing some work on the cart paths other than that you definitely need to get out and play.
Good course layout, overall review great!
I was pleased to see improvements being made on the cart paths and other areas, which I understood. I throughly enjoyed my round.
Great greens!
Had not played here since the renovation, and new greens. Before that, reviews had not been good. If you played here before the renovation, you owe it to yourself to come play it again Also they removed 60 sand traps, so play is quicker, and a bit less difficult for the average golfer. Looking forward to playing here again.
A Must See Must Play
The title of my review speaks for itself!! GO PLAY ⛳
Great course, great value
The greens were impeccable!! They rolled very smooth and true. I loved the layout. I would definitely play there again. Loved it!!!!!
Talamore
Loved playing here for the 3rd time. Golf course and staff are fantastic ‼️
Not a walking course
This is not a walking/caddie course. Despite Talamore's website advertisements for their "World Famous Caddies" as well as their inclusion within the network of Pinehurst area caddies, the starter did not recommend walking Talamore. A ranger was not even aware caddies were used at the course so as you might have expected, our caddie was not at all experienced and could not find the first hole.
The greens were in great shape, and the course was manicured well, but it does not drain in many spots. It had not rained in the area for at least three weeks, but the course had random bouts of sogginess and mud. Some of these were next to greens, causing at least two strokes on my scorecard.
IMO, this is a mid-tier course at best for the area.
The new course is much more playable
The removal of many bunkers makes playability much better. Greens were true and challenging. Site lines to the greens was very good, no blind holes. Fairway turf and greens very playable. A great addition to Pinehurst golf. Loved the new sod face bunkers very much like British links golf.
retired
Course is in almost perfect condition.
New Greens not Friendly
This was my 3rd time to play here, and first time since renovation. Beautiful day weather wise, ended with a very disappointing round here. It started with range sacks with only 15 balls, for $3. Then on the first green, short pitch shots would not hold the green, due to rock hard surface of the new greens, never leaving a ball mark. Unfortunately, this was true for the remaining 17 also. They would putt fine, once you got back on the green. I'm sure in a year they will be great, just not yet.
No roaming beverage cart on a busy Sunday and service at the turn was 10 people deep waiting to get a beverage or a snack. The "customer experience" was a complete shock compared to previous visits !!!
Great layout..
Loved the course layout...scenic, yet challenging. New grass on tee boxes coming in nicely. Staff is very welcoming. Would definitely go back on next visit here.
Great course
Course was in great shape couple tee boxes were a little soggy. Greens were in great shape rolled true and fast. Great new layout on a couple of holes great layout overall.
Talamore Golf Club
I was looking for a course in the Pinehurst area for two couples to play that was at a reasonable price. The reviews for Talamore seemed ok and the price on Golf Now was good so we thought we would give it a try. We were greatly by a very friendly and accommodating man who took our clubs from the car. Checking in was pleasant. We planned to have lunch first. Was a little disappointed that the restaurant didn't offer a nicer food selection, but it was very nice inside.
The course had just gone through a major renovation and was just opening up after being closed for a few months. The course had a nice layout and was in ok condition. Should be nice once everything has a chance to grow in. It was crazy busy that day and play was a little slow, but it was tolerable. I would definitely recommend this course for the price.
Good course
We enjoyed the course but had to quit after 15 holes because of lightning.
Excellent Deal thru GolfNow
I made use of the Hot Deal through GolfNow to play this course - gave me excellent value for playing this course. This course "fit my eye" on most holes, yet playing the course for the first time is always tough to score when learning where not to play second and third shots from. Definitely will be going back to play again...well worth the opportunity to play this course in the Southern Pines area (close to Rt 1 and Pinehurst)
Talk about unrealistic, ill informed expectations! This is not Pinehurst CC. Whatever gave you the impression it was? The course hasn't had caddies since its early inception, and even then it was part of a promotion - Llamas carrying the bags, escorted by young women. You're only about twenty years late!
