Talamore
Talamore Golf Resort: Talamore is one of the classic golf courses of Pinehurst. Its two nine-hole loops contain many attractive golf holes, laid out in a quiet and natural setting where pine trees provide the main backdrop to Rees Jones' excellent design.
From start to finish the holes pleasantly meander their way through much unspoilt pine forest, with real estate largely kept a reasonable distance behind the holes and much less evident on the back-nine. Lining the usually good-width fairways is an array of attractive moguls (earthmounding), together with copious and at times visually intimidating bunkering and mature pines.
Only at the par-4 18th does water come into play, requiring your tee shot to carry a good-sized pond. But don't think the absence of water makes this course any less challenging. This is an excellent layout, which will test both your shot-making and course management.
The well-paced and sometimes elevated greens are not overly large (with a few exceptions) but are excellent surfaces to putt on, and home to many slopes and borrows. Since opening in 1991, Talamore's pleasantly wooded charms, gentle undulations and handsome design has made it a popular venue for local and visiting golfers alike.

Talamore is a Gaelic word meaning "land of great value", and the Talamore Golf Resort is well positioned to provide that, with its sister course, Mid South, and all the other Pinehurst golf courses within close proximity.
Uniquely in this part of the world (and perhaps the northern hemisphere), you can hire the services of a llama to caddie your clubs around the course. If, like most players, you don't opt for this service, you can at least take a look at these natives of South America alongside the 14th tee.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
