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.

Decent course but needs a bit of attention
The starter was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for a nice start to our day. We were disappointed with the condition of the roughs - many we very high and those that were mowed had all the grass scraps sitting there still, which made it difficult to find our ball. Greens were fair.
Just a unbelievable great deal. Great layout ... upscale.
Played Talamore on 9/6 for an unbelievable Golfnow rate of $21. The greens were punched a week or two before, but rolling well. Just a great layout, no two holes were the same. Fantasic contours to the fairways. A challenge but not unfair. Unique feature is not OB ... free drop from any residential area. I've played most of the upscale courses in the Pinehurst area ... this is a must play for your next visit.
Nice Course, Played quickly, Had just been aerated
The course had a nice layout. The staff were very nice and gave me a great deal on the course. That was because they had just aerated it. The green's, fairways, and tee boxes were pretty rough. I played with my wife and she shot the best score of her life on this course. I would like to play the course again when the course was in better condition. We did play fast because there weren't many people on the course because of the aeration.
Excellent Choice adn Great Value for the Money
The course was in tip top shape as it usually is. The course played at just under four hours with 90 degree cart rule even with lots of rain recently. The fairways were in great shape as was the greens, but rolled a little slower than I remembered. I will go back and play this course again and again!
enjoyable golf course
This is a very pleasant and enjoyable golf course that is usually in good condition with very good greens
The course has a great hole layout.
The 18 hole layout and scenery is great, however, the tee boxes and greens are substandard for a supposed quality course. Also, there are a number of holes that are cart path only and it slows down play if you happen to be on the wrong side of the path. The llamas pen on the 14th or 15th tee box is interesting and quite a sight.
A Nice Golf Day
Great Course, Great Layout & Challenging Holes & in Great Shape!
The course is beautiful and challenging.
Beautiful course and after you get past the 1st hole it becomees a lot more enjoyable. The length of the first hole was very intimidating.
Best course around!!
Beautiful golf course. Everything was in great shape and this course is by far the nicest I've played. I will definitely be back as much as possible. GolfNow's rate is unbelievable!!
One of the best
Talamore is on most top lists for a reason. Excellent course, excellent conditions. Lots of elevation changes, grain matters, fairway bunkers are 3 things of note---and they are part of the character of the course. Great scenic, if intimidating, finishing hole. At GolfNow prices, this is another steal!
Very good shot making holes
The course was in good shape and played great!Must play
!
Course is in great shape !!
Considering the amount of rain the course has had to deal with this summer, it is in great shape, especially the greens !
Will absolutely be playing Talamore again and will bring friends..
The greens are in excellent shape
My experience at Talamore was by far the best day of golf I have ever experienced . From the moment we pulled up to the bag drop to the moment we returned our cart ,nothing but A+ service from the staff . Can't say enough about how friendly and professional the staff at Talamore are . The Course was in great shape as were the greens . If you ever find yourself in the sandhills I would highly recommend Talamore Golf Club . Enjoyed it so much we replayed 18 and made a day of it.
course in great shape
Best the greens have looked in years.Course was wet but very playable.
The course is in great condition
Was surprised the couse was not busy for a sunday. People are missing out on a great couse with alot of different options.
Great Layout
I played Talamore with my wife. I think Talamore deserves a Mulligan in this case. We have had some tremendous amounts of rain and I believe this was reflecting the poor course conditions. But, I am doing this review based on what the course was like when we played. The fairways haven't been mowed in awhile, it was like hitting out of the rough. I'm certain that's because they could not cut them due to the wetness. The tee boxes were mixed, some were in good shape but others needed attention. The greens were in pretty good shape , a little on the slow side. The course has a great layout and is challenging. The first is a wicked par 5-600+ yards, I played the Blue Tees. And the last 4 holes were difficult finishing holes. I wish this course would have been in good condition because it has great potential. I hope to come back when its dry. One other thing, my wife loved the Llama's off the 14th tee box. Overall, I would really like to play this course again under better conditions.
Pinehurst Favorite
This is my group's 12th year to Pinehurst, having played Talamore every year. Since we stay in the on site condos, it has become our final day course. This course is always in great shape and this year was no exception. The greens were in perfect shape and the fairways were plush. Talamore has become my favorite Pinehurst course. It is not the most challenging nor the most picturesque, but it is a great test of your ability from any tees and always pristine. Put it on your must play list.
Excellent value
Course was in amazing condition, something that is expected of a Pinehurst area course. Staff was friendly, although the Marshall about had a fit because we were 2 minutes late. The only downside was there were golfers outside drinking that were unnecessarily loud. They could be heard throughout the entire back 9. Overall a very enjoyable day and course.
The course has a nice layout
I really like this course as it is fairly open. A missed tee shot does not always mean a lost ball. The greens were a little slow but in great shape.
Great Value on 4.5 Star Course
Very enjoyable round. Excellent layout. Challenging but fair. Greens were mint condition and alot of fun to putt on. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a great course at a good price.
Stay in Naples, Florida. It sounds to me like you have been in the sun too long
