Must play course

Despite the time of year, the greens were in excellent shape. The fairways were meticulously maintained and the bunkers for this time of the year as well. Great challenge of golf but are enjoyable in every aspect regardless of the skill level of the player.

Talamore never disappoints

Play here at least once a year and I am never disappointed. One of the best in the area by far. If you haven't played here, it is a must. Course is always in great condition, and the greens will challenge even the best putter. Thank you Talamore staff for another great day, I will definitely be back

Home of the 5 Hour Round

I have played this course several times over the past year, and while it is very good layout, the pace of play is ridiculously slow. Took over 5 hours. The rangers didn't do anything, and when we complained in the pro shop, they didn't care. The halfway house was closed, and you had to go into the clubhouse for food and drink, which took forever. I'm sure this contributed to pace of play. If you have a day to kill playing golf, this is the course for you, because it will take you all day.

Beautiful course but tough. The greens were pro speed with lots of contours. Only drawback the course was loud. Maintenance guys did shut down equipment when putting or approaching the greens.

First time at Talamore, can’t wait to be back!

Was playing as a solo and was able to be paired up with a great random thanks to the starter. The course was in absolutely amazing shape, the putting green looked like it was turf and not natural grass, and the course was top tier. It was refreshing to have the starter chat with us about the 4-some behind us playing too slow, and the earful he gave them about not keeping up with a 2-some in front of them haha. Only downside the course could control was the halfway house being close, nbd, still was able to go inside to the bar and grab an drink and snack. Can’t wait to be back!

Meh

We had the first tee time of the day. The front nine went quick. But unfortunately they send people off both sides. So when we finished the front nine we had to wait about a half hour before it was our turn to tee off. The back nine was brutal. 8-12 people waiting on every tee box. I think it was close to a 3 hr back nine. The course was fun and in good condition. Nothing special. The llama pen is a cool touch. The staff was incredibly rude... Especially the starter who was an extremely grumpy old man who didn't want to be there. Also the guy who came out mid round and tried to insinuate that because their water cooler was turned over on one hole and we were the first group that we turned it over. Between the rude people and slow play and insane amount of golfers on the course, I honestly couldn't wait to get out of there

Great!

We have a group of 12 golfers that come to Pinehurst every October and play golf for 6 days. Talamore is always in great shape and pace of play is never an issue which is important for our group. Highly recommend!

WOW‼️

Best track I have ever played. Never seen greens ever roll that fast. I wanted to play another 18 but didn’t have enough day light. The guy working in the pro shop was super cool and didn’t hesitate to give advice and answer questions. I will definitely be back to visit!

Cart Path Only

We thought we were going to have the best day of golf in a long time. Perfect weather and the price was right. One HUGE catch by the starter as we are walking to the 1st tee box.

CART PATH ONLY!!!!

We could only play 9 and get a rain check. It was horrible to try and score at golf with cart path only.
