Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
About
The Talking Stick Golf Club features two golf courses designed by the architecture team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, who created distinct golf courses with enough choices to accommodate all levels of golfers. The golf club sits on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community reservation, a spot that provides the serenity necessary to endure a testing day of golf.
"Talking Stick's O'odham (formerly known as North Course) course, with its broad, angular holes rewards thoughtful play through the rise of its many options according to one's level of skill. Its low-profile, slightly crowned greens and close-cropped approaches encourage running as well as aerial assaults." -- Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
The second hole is a par 5 that measures 552 yards from the Black tee and is one of two long holes, with the 17th being a par 5 that plays to 582 yards from the Black tees.
The 18th hole on the O'odham Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club is shorter, relatively speaking, a par 4 that measures 471 yards from the Black tees.

Good Summer Option
Staff was friendly. Alot of courses mid summer here dont have beverage carts because lack of play due to heat but there was one yesterday. Course was in really good shape for this time of year. Layout is decent but flat. Nice views throughout. No water hazards. Fairways are wide and forgiving and large greens soft enough to leave a divot. Great summer value.
Great track
Really enjoyed this track. Only 18 holes is open as they punch the other side and then eventually that’ll switch in the next week or so. Entire courses in great shape, fairways fringe apron and greens all solid and are held up real well typical resort course wide fairways plenty of bunkers on the backside but enough to fill challenge but not beat up after a nice round.
Service from the staff is great replenish water bottles on the greene. Everybody’s super friendly carts are in great shape practice range —all top-notch
good value for the money especially right now if you don’t mind the heat
Excellent Golf Experience
Designed for a fun and uplifting golf experience this course offers big everything! Big views and a huge practice area ! Monster fairways and large greens . Bunkers all around the course and some unique and especially large areas around the greens to work all types of nice shots if you miss those massive and well kept greens.
Such a beautiful place and design !
No way to leave that place mad at the game !
Those cute lil Pikachews will keep you smiling all day… they were ubiquitous! Just watch out for them with your golf cart !
Great Deal
Tee times were under 50 because of recent maintenance on the greens. Greens were better than expected and course was in great shape for this time of year.
Best customer service and conditioning I've seen this summer throughout the valley.
Nice course and good layout
Very nice course with friendly staff, good practice facilities and good pace of play. Course conditions were a little inconsistent in the fairways but overall good.
Generous fairways
I played the north course . Unfortunately, South was closed for maintenance. This made the North busy , even at late tee off. I decided to stop after 14 holes and 4 hrs of play. A course marshal would have have helped the pace. I enjoy the course and the amenities . Beautiful scenery , didn’t mind the 105’ heat. Pace of play needs to improve.
Great course and staff
Third time in last few weeks. The staff is great, the course well considering piping hot weather. Will continue to visit.
Course was wide open very easy no challenges for the money.
Great course for the summer
When we arrived to the course we were surprised to see all the features such as bag drop off and free range balls for a $60 tee time, we have played other courses around the area in much worse condition that were close to the same price and this course has to be one of the best courses money can offer for $60 or any good rate you can find during the summer. The only downside is the bunkers but staff notified us they would be closing the course for a few weeks to work on these bunkers.
Nice!
Played with a buddy in from out of town, course was in great shape. Wonderful customer service from the curb (bag drop off) to restaurant. Thank you.
