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.

Great course! Great value!
Just moved to Pinehurst and wante to play for not a whole lot of money. Was very pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course and the scenery. Would definitely recommend.
Good track
My dad retired to the Pinehurst area and we have played a number of courses. Is say Talamore falls in the above average for the area category, but good if you consider courses outside of Pinehurst.
The tee boxes were a little beat up, but the fairways and rough were in great shape. Greens were in good shape, but on the slow side for my taste.
The staff was excellent, and I put average for food because we didn't have any.
All in all I would play here again, but after a few other courses in a similar price range
Very nice layout
Great play during the week or on a weekend. Mid-afternoon was very open play.
A Challenge and Fun
We found this course a challege, with holes presenting choices of shots and a defferent looks as you prgress through the round.
Good for mixed couple with various tee positions. I wish thye still had the llama in use, it would be unique.
Enjoyable course with exceptional housing surrounding the course.
Well Maintained
Vey hot, humid day with a brief thunderstorm, but was able to continue play. Staff was courteous, course was in good shape. Tee boxes could use some help , but the rest of the course was well maintained, and proved to be a good challenge for me and the wife.
Always a fun course
I thoroughly enjoy this layout. Each hole is unique and has some sort of challenge. The course is always in great shape and I enjoy the multiple tee boxes, which are not just afterthoughts. I play here whenever I'm in the area.
Cool Place
My boys and I went there before the US Open for a round. Staff started a shotgun start at 8:00 and had two pairings on each hole. It went very smoothly and we were on Pinehurst #2 by 1:00... Pretty cool idea.
Give it a try
Came here the day after the US Open. Had an 8 o'clock tee time and the pro shop told me we where at 14a.... Not sure where this was coming from, I asked why we are starting at 14 and he stated that we are going off at a shotgun start in order to get the most amount of players out at once. I was hesitant and walked to my cart, proceeded to 14 and started my round. Never really pushed by any group nor waiting. Great golf.
Rolling fairways made for good fun
Enjoyed the many changes in elevation and occasional blind shots. Greens were slow, for the most part; fairways generally in good shape, but some had a few thin, brown spots. Roughest looking tee box conditions I've ever seen.
Real restrooms on course would have been a plus, instead of one Port-o-Potty on each side, and no hand sanitizer!
I do get annoyed at courses that don't show even basic hole layouts on the scorecard. Guess they want to sell their course booklets in the pro shop.
Lovely course very scenic
Course plays longer then yardage and challenging. Tee boxes need a little work but greens and bunkers in good shape while fairways almost there.
Talamore - a good track!
Overall course in very good condition. Not mowing the greens tight kept me from rating excellent. They are currently keeping the greens long in order to maintain no burn out.
Could have played faster
Showed up at the course an hour early. Staff would not let us tee off early. 1st because we had an afternoon rate, then because we used Golf Now and their policy dictated no early tee offs for Golf Now. There was a 3 some that teed of just as we got there. The tee sat open for 45 minutes. After a 45 minute wait another 3 some made the turn off of #18. Then a 4 some teed off, we followed the 4 some. The 4 some allowed us to play through. We finished in 3 1/2 hours. Could had played faster and finished sooner, if the Staff had been more flexible.
nice course but
I enjoyed playing the course, the greens were a little slow but the staff was great
Great place to play
Played on Memorial Day weekend. Course was in ver good shape even though the greens were punched two weeks ago. Pace of play was excellent. Played in under 3.5 hours. Staff was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back to play this course again. Would have loved to play the course when they used the llamas as caddies.
Talamore is a great course
My wife & I played, and it was in good condition, challenge of the course was good.
I'd play it again,
Good for the money
Got a hot deal off golf now and couldn't complain about the price. Fairways were a little dorment compared to others in the area but greens were great and pace of play was great.
Nice layout, fair test of golf.
Arrived at 8:00 for an 8:30 tee time. Staff was friendly and pro shop wasn't loaded with goods, but enough to get by. Clubhouse was clean overall. About a third of the tee boxes needed a little attention, the fairways were in pretty good shape...maybe a 7/10. The practice putting green was pretty bad, maybe a fungus got it or something. So I was scared about the course greens. Not to worry, the were in nice shape. Rolled true, few ball marks, and speed was about a 9-10 on the stimp. The layout of the course is a nice one, the uphill opening par 5 is a fun start. The visuals of the course just didn't "pop" so to speak. Not really green, but not yellow either, kinda mixed. I assume a dose of nitrogen might green it up really well. Played with my foursome in 4&1/2 hours, so pace was well. Shot a 75 from the white tees (7 handicapper) which was great since I've never played the course. If I lived here, I'm sure I'd play it again. From a vacation standpoint, probably not...they'd need to up the course conditions a bit.
Talamore Rules
Greens were slower than before but in very nice shape. Played in two and half hours. We always enjoy this course
Good challenge and layout
We really enjoyed the course and layout. The greens had been punched and hadn't healed; therefore the putting wasn't enjoyable.
However, we enjoyed the day the layout and would return again when green conditions improve.
Fantastic all around
Fantastic course, service, location, condition. I was very very impressed- and the price I got on golfnow was unbeatable.
