Course Highlights
Talamore's course layout and conditions consistently impress, with quick, true-rolling greens and well-maintained fairways from tee to green. Friendly staff, a well-stocked pro shop, and a fun llama pen make this a Pinehurst-area must-play.

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 Round

I don’t normally pay $100 plus a round, but got a good deal via golfpass. Played at 10:40 so pace was good until 4th hole, ended 27 minutes behind. Greens were hard and fast, lots of slopes, so I had a lot of 3 putts. Course needed some rain or watering. Snack shack was closed. Some bunkers were impossible to get out, lucky I only hit 1 and to drop after two stokes to get out. I’d like to return sometime and try again, weather was near perfect, so I’ll play a Second round.

Great Layout and variety

What a great find , lots of variety, huge greens, used almost all the clubs in the bag , intimidating sod walked bunkers but the sand was perhaps the best I have ever played. Will be back for sure. Absolutely loved the layout and elevation changes.

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!

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.
