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.

Not worth the price
I played this course on 4/5/2105. I have no idea who maintains this course but it needs help. About half the greens had bald spots that were covered with a green sand/grass mixture. The bunkers need more sand, you'll more than likely skull your wedge shots out of there. The regular spring rate for this course is $115 for a weekend round. Until this course gets in shape, I would find a better deal....
Beautiful course
My son and I played the course and both loved it. We will certainly play it again. The staff were friendly and helpful. A few of the greens had bad patches but overall the course was in great shape.
Play it later
Can't add much to what the others have said. We played just after a rain, so the ground was soggy. Greens were in sad shape; most of them had multiple areas where they had tried to repair winterkill. Greens were shaggy and slow Nice layout, both clubhouse and course. Do play it when the greens have healed.
Pricey
Lots of elevation changes and more sand than the beach. The greens are the worst I've played on in this area. Definitely not worth the price when you have to take relief on every green. The rest of the course seemed to be maintained well. Friendly staff and nice layout.
Golf Getaway
Great track, Course was in good shape even though it's a bit early, They had snow 3 weeks ago! Greens had been puched about 4 weeks ago and were still healing. Putted a little slow, but the starter gave up the heads up and we had a great time! Awesome Value.
Nice layout, poor greens
The course layout is very good. It's tough and has many traps and hills. The problem we encountered were the greens. They were in pretty bad shape. It appears they had many problems with them due to the weather. I would probably play it again but only after the greens have been corrected.
Always a good challenge
Played Talamore in early Feb 2015 on one of those rare 70+ degree days in NC and it's always fun playing there. Never tire of the challenge. The course layout is great with a good mix of difficult, moderate and easier holes - even from white tees. Course conditions were really good for mid-winter. Greens rolled good...had some light fertilizer on them, but it didn't really affect the putts. A few bad spots on the greens in places, but generally the flags were in positions away from the spots. Bunkers were in excellent shape. And typical Sandhills courses don't stay wet very long so overall the course was pretty dry. Always a good time playing Talamore...llamas still hangin' out off the tee of #14. Put it on your play list when you're in the area...a GolfNow deal for $39 (or less) is good value for the quality of course.
Lots of veriety
This is a course I will play again. Great par 3's. A good mix of short and long holes. A fun course to play.
Awesome layout
I love the layout and design of this course. From the first hole I enjoyed the unique character of each hole. Reminds me of an old school links style course, the true way golf was meant to be played.
PINEHURST'S COLDEST DAY OF YEAR
NICE COURSE...TEE BOXES NEED WORK..NICE COUNTER STAFF///WOULD PLAY AGAIN
talamore excels
Great course. Rees Jones designed a jewel and it is in great shape. My buddy and I had the best golfing day this whole year. Challenging but not tricked up.
Highly recommend.
This course is fun to play
A very nice course which was an excellent value. A fair and challenging course.
Great November Golf
Played in early November, course was in great shape. Greens were true, fairways cut and trimmed, staff friendly and helpful.
Great Value
Staff was exceptionally courteous! Course was in great shape. Group play tends to back up, but still a wonderful day!
So Good I Played It Again !
Great course, great shape for late October, enjoyed having to make placement shots, will make time to play it next visit, as much fun as Pinehurst just no caddies, no great Clubhouse or veranda, etc.
...and I played 18 both rounds, who plays 9 ? This is my 3rd yr to take a trip to Pinehurst, have played several other area courses, this take a solid # 2 on where to play.
Fun course....Greens need improvement
This course is a typical great North Carolina layout. Two interesting local rules made the course a little easier. First one being that there was existentially no out of bounds (hit it in someone's yard and you bring the ball out on the line of entry with no penalty) and the second being that a ball in any wire grass areas also being a free drop. These rules seem strange but I suppose they are in place to speed up play. Course was in great condition with the exception of the greens. They were slow and bumpy as it seems they were struggling keeping the bent grass greens in good condition. Otherwise I really enjoyed my experience on the course.
One of my favorites
The course is long and beautiful....at the time the greens were soft and a little slow but putts ran true.....always a great time
Great layout
Excellent layout. I think it has bent grass greens and were a bit shaggy in an effort to keep them alive.
Fairways were in great shape. Greens were not.
The fairways were in great shape. There are rolling hills and a multitude of bunkers. The greens were not in good shape.
What a Challenge
The staff was great from the pro shop, starter, and ground crews.
