Talamore is just west of Pine Needles in Southern Pines. The course is a Rees Jones design, beautiful course in the US home of golf, plenty of bunkers, tree lined fairways, challenging, not for the higher handicapper. The course opened in 1992 and is 7,000 yards from the back tees. 142 slope. Fun course, not the tops in Pinehurst, but the rates are fair, conditions good, some elevation change which is unusual here, and a good course to warm up for the other courses here.
