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.

Very nice course
I def recommend. Its a great layout & in very good condition. Fairways and greens are nice and course is challenging from the Blue tees. Great layered bunkers on some holes, which need to be avoided.
Not as good as last time
The course and club house were in far better condition last time we played (same time of year). The course had bare spots and needs some remediation. At times, the cart path lacked signage directing you to the next hole. The clubhouse restroom doors are in need of painting, the welcome mat was so worn you could barely read the course name and the restrooms lacked hand soap. For us, at this point there are other courses to play in the area that represent a better experience and value.
The staff were very friendly and helpful!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, hNlYCxYZGaGebfxv1gJH. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Talamore Golf Resort, and we hope to see you again in the future.
1st time at Talamore
Terrific round and the perfect weather… checkin was fast and easy ..awesome practice area and putting green… Greg is a terrific starter … it was a paired 4 some and he introduced everyone and got us sent over to the first tee right on time …. Our fore some and the round couldn't have been more enjoyable … I think the wide generous landing areas from the tee were a lot of fun … going back in July when everything greens up … cheers!

Play this course!
Course was in great condition, especially the greens. It's a fun layout designed to be not that challenging and is fun to play. Lot of room off the tee with some elevation change. The stacked sod bunkers were neat but you really need to avoid them.
The green fee was low for the quality of this course.

Awesome
Awesome staff. Awesome course. Pace of play was awful this day but of all the times I have played, this is the first bad experience. Was due to frost delay. I plan to play the course many more times.

Excellent Challenge for All
Course offers tees for all skill sets. It’s a fun layout to play and the difficulty is dependent on what markers you choose to play it from. Bunker redos are wonderful and punishing of a wayward shot. Greens were top end as expected. Good facilities and the pro shop folks are very friendly.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, BigBoyJ! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Talamore Golf Resort.
Resort course, but no pitch-and-putt
Talamore is a solid test of golf! From the creative layout to the sod faced wall bunkers, it’s all/you/can eat, especially from the tips! Fast greens but friendly kicks into the wide fairways make this a fun and must play when in the Pinehurst area! Nice practice area with Top Tracer technology! This course is ALWAYS on our rotation!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u000004304765. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Talamore Golf Resort thanks you!
Course just reopened after several days of extreme cold weather with greens being covered with tarps. Conditions were very good and greens were smooth and true. Only issue was occasionally getting the tees into the still frozen ground on several tee boxes. Overall an outstanding experience.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Sburaczewski! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Talamore Golf Resort.
Enjoyable Round
Really enjoyed the round. Course was in great shape. Greens were fast and true.
Only negative was cart path only. There was some rain early but honestly there was only one spot on one fairway that was close to being “wet” and that was a low spot in the first fairway. Pace of play would have been much much better.
