Talamore Golf Resort

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 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.

Course is in almost perfect condition.

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 !!!

Had a great day, as a single sometimes the group you are playing with makes the difference.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed the course but had to quit after 15 holes because of lightning.

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)

I have played this course several times over the years, my first time since upgrades were made, new greens, removed some fairway bunkers.

Enjoy playing this course.

These new greens are sweet! Been a few other course changes while they were closed. Mostly with traps. I'm definitely going back!

Greens were in excellent condition there were some areas that the new turf is trying to grow into. Fairways were nice. Overall the course was in good shape.

The new greens are immaculate, there is fresh sand in the traps and the fairways and rough are well maintained. The course is more forgiving now after the removal of many sand traps. It's still quite challenging with many elevation changes. You'll have an opportunity to use all your clubs, if you select the right tee..

My dad and I played yesterday and the course was in impressive condition. The greens are new and are fast and perfect. Really enjoyed the round and enjoyed it so much we played again today.

The course has taken out the bent grass greens and replaced them with Champions Bermuda earlier this year. Removed some bunkers and re-did others. Course is in very good condition. Fairways are wide and slopes on the greens can be challenging. A fine resort course.

This course was amazing from start to end. Greens rolled incredible, fast and true. Never saw the course before today, but the "new course" is a favorite of mine in the area. you start with a 600 yard uphill beast and end with a beautiful dog leg left with a forced 245 yard carry over water(if you take the direct route). Theyre still in the process of finishing up their renovations. I'm sure once they get all they did bunkers finished and all the new sod grows in, it will be ahstetically pleasing throughout. Even with the work going on, it was still a fantastic course.

New greens and updated all the bunkers. Visually pleasing, would play this course every weekend.

Great layout. Course doing a lot of improvements but I was able to play without any problem. Played from back gold tees and hole #1 and #15 (par 3 @ 238 yds)were a challenge. 69 year old w/14 handicap I shot 89. Some shots were blind not knowing the course....would like to play again having an idea where to position tee shots. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Staff was great. Recommend to all to play.

This course has a lot of good holes on it. The greens are small and well protected so bring your iron game. The pins are well protected and some of the greens have a lot of slope. The course sets up well and it allows you to hit driver on about every hole. Overall I enjoyed my round.
