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.

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.

Nice Saturday Morning

My home course was flooded by Tropical Storm Debbie. Talamore was fortunate enough to miss out on the worst of the heavy rain, so I decided to take a short road trip. I’m glad I did! I loved everything about this course, especially the condition of the greens. Fairways and tee boxes too! Hats off to the grounds crew. Great job!

I also enjoyed the person walking in front of the clubhouse playing bagpipes. I’ve never seen that before.

Awesome Day!

The course is worth the price; it was in such good condition. I love that the holes are away from cart paths because they keep the area around the greens in such nice conditions. I really love this course.

Scouting trip

Playing this course on a guys trip in September. Had a chance to scout it. The course had just been punched this week so the greens were bumpy and could not get a good read ( to be expected after punching). Course layout is good and right in front of you. The sod wall bunkers add a challenge if you are in them. Looking forward to September and the greens rolling smooth and true. And the temps being normal.
