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.

First Time Playing

Fantastic and fun course!

Played here on a Carolinas Golf Association deal and had a blast! Fantastic course, very gettable and fun to play. Greens were immaculate and quick. Got paired with a threesome that was part of a group on a buddies trip and they couldn’t have been nicer and welcoming. Shot 1 over par from the blues which was nice. One quick tip… try to book a morning tee time. Pace of play can get gnarly in the afternoon. Definitely recommend.

Golf Cart fiasco

Arrived 75 minutes early to check in and hit range balls. Purchased range balls but had to wait for cart to be available as range was some distance away.. Did not receive a cart until 10 minutes before teetime so had to forego hitting balls. The twosome we were playing with did not get there cart until 5 minutes after our tee . Our Cart lost power after ten holes. Waited on 11th tee for replacement cart for 20 minutes after which group from behind was approaching. decided to crawl along with cart moving slowly and one of us walking as we waited for replacement. On second call to Proshop were advised that they had three other carts break down and would get to us when they could. After another half hour still no cart and proshop was belligerent as my partner lodged his complaint. Finally cart brought to us on 14th tee approximately 90 minutes after first call. Replacement cart had full power but defective parking brake which made it hazardous on hilly terrain, which describes the back nine. We were not offered any concessions by course for our inconvenience. To make matters worse members playing behind us who had caught up to us only because of the creeping cart kept hitting into us as if we were responsible for the slow play even though by the last three holes we had caught the group ahead of us and were waiting for them to advance beyond our landing areas.

Awful Course Management

I was excited about playing a new track to me. We got behind a group that had 3 tee times. All good. First couple of holes were fine u til the 3rd fell way behind. We began waiting with them on every tee box. No groups in sight ahead. By hole 10 we got to the tee box at same time as that 3rd group. Then another 4some and then a 4th group all on hole 10 now. We called the pro shop. Told them the Thursday group was just now going to tee 11 and the other 2 groups were already playing 12. The pro shop even confirmed saying there’s 4 carts on 12. He said he would send a ranger. NEVER did anyone come out to check. We saw the slow group as did the groups right behind us for 8 holes. NO RANGER. It took us over 3 hours to play the back 9. Come on. At least make an attempt. That’s all we asked.
