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.

Many great views.

This course is very challenging with all the elevation changes. Fairways are wide but you must hit your targets to get a good shot in to the greens. Would play this again in a heartbeat.

Very nice course

We enjoyed our round at Talamore. The staff was excellent, just fantastic.

We got there about 45 minutes early for a 12:44 tee time and we did get to tee off a little early which was great.

The course was in excellent condition. The greens were superb. I really enjoyed the round. I played the white tees, if I went back I would probably move back a tee box for myself.

The course was supercrowded. They had just overseeded and it was cart path only. There really was no solution, it was what it was. We played the front nine again after the turn which was a solution for us and got our round in on time. If we played the back, I doubt we would have finished before dark.

My only regret is not getting to see their trademark llamas on the 14th hole!

Good Course IF you get a hot deal on the price.

With a Hot Deal Price, this course is worth playing, but it could use some improving if it is to be the Championship Course that it claims to be. The staff was friendly and we were let go in a timely fashion, slightly ahead of our scheduled tee time. The carts are new but they are not GPS equipped. Unfortunately, they had just seeded the fairways and we were forced to stay on the cart paths which led to a lot of walking and this is a lot of course. Also, the cart paths in some places were kind of rough and some paths between holes were just sand paths. Signage on the course is poor and the scorecard offers little info beyond overall yardage, but sprinkler heads are marked. The on-course facilities was a single portapotty on each nine for both him and her with no sanitary lotion or hand washing capabilities (not very good for a " high-end" course). The layout is good and challenging yet not difficult. The greens were quite large and ran fast and true. Nice strategically placed sand bunkers, but some were wet and some weren't. Rough was woolly and captured your ball on any short shots. All in all, fun to play, IF the price is right.

Everything was perfect from tee box, fairways to greens. The layout was fun and beautiful. There was a variety of hole layout so each hole was unique.

will definitely be going back

Staff, from greeter to the woman who collected the cart upon finishing were friendly and professional.
Course was very fair. Short par 4's had narrow greens.
Greens were very fast and true.
Traps (of which we hit a few) were challenging and fair.
Lunch was excellent and fairly priced.
