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.

Great course design. Will try playing when not 40 and windy. Brutal but beautiful bunkering. Really makes you think about your approaches.

Closed for Cold

The course closed for the next few days due to extreme cold. They called me in the morning to inform me so that I did not drive over there. I need to get a refund for the fee I paid to GolfNow.

Joy to play

Talamore is always in good shape and this time was no exception. The greens are fast, smooth and putt true. They're also very large with a lot of undulations so it seems like there is never a flat, straight putt. The pot bunkers are a cool feature though I don't recommend finding them! One of the best courses for your money in the Pinehurst area and comparable in quality to the more famous courses. Highly recommended!

Grade A

The greens and bunkers at Talamore were excellent-especially for late November. Grade A. Really enjoyed beautiful fall day. Met up with nice fellows from Charlotte on a junket. We were held up enough not to make what carts had as about a 4.5 hour pace--but less than 5 total. If anything, amenities (food, range) are probably subpar.

Average course

In Pinehurst, you expect really quick greens, false fronts and tough scoring. This course had good greens (not much break), minimal false fronts and easy scoring. If you stay below the hole, you can two putt or better. Had cart path only which is tough when you have never seen the layout so a lot of approaches were short.
