 No ordinary golf
course receives the kind of acclaim and international
praise that has been given to Talamore's 18-hole course
since it’s opening in 1991. Talamore has been ranked in
the forefront of outstanding courses in the Pinehurst
area; an area which has been known for its golfing
traditions for over a
century.
Talamore Golf
Partners hired architect
Rees Jones to bring his considerable talents
back to Pinehurst in order to design a course that would
be visually striking and exceptionally enjoyable. The
result was a 7,020 yard course that was ranked in the
top five new courses in America upon its opening in 1992
by Golf Digest.
According to Rees Jones: "This is a
position course. Length isn't going to benefit the long
hitter. What I'm trying to do is require thinking. I
don't want to take the drive out of the golfer's hands,
but what I want him to have to think about whether he
wants to use it. You have to manufacture golf
shots and make them
happen. Strategy is an important key to a successful
round of golf here. My hope is that golfers will
enjoy this dimension of the game. Talamore is intended to
capture the best of classic golf in the Pinehurst area.
The site has a spirit that's unmistakable: one that
allowed for a remarkable diversity of features. There's a challenge in the course
that's meant to add to the enjoyment of the game. After
all, golf is supposed to be fun."
