Toka Sticks Golf Club
About
Unlike many other courses in Phoenix, the course at the Toka Sticks Golf Club was not done in a traditional desert-style. It is known amongst locals for having very fast greens, many of which are elevated. The old Toka Sticks course was originally a nine-hole course built in 1945 but in addition to making it an 18-hole, championship course, it has had many renovations in the years since to make it a more challenging and interesting course. There are stately trees present on the course call for straight shots in order to reach the narrow fairways. Two lakes are situated on the course that create water hazards that come into play on sever holes. There are also several well-placed sand bunkers throughout. Toka Stick Golf Club also offers a short game area, a putting green and a driving range.

Excellent Conditions
Course is in excellent condition. A few months ago the well issue caused a Sahara Desert 🏜. This problem has been resolved and the conditions were very good for this time of year. Playing again soon.
BKR-Toka Sticks 7-12-2026
Overall great day on a very nice golf course. Enjoyed the entire 18 hole layout. Staff was friendly and courteous. Services from check in until finish were super.
Well, to be honest….
Played yesterday after reading reviews of greens being punched 16 days ago thinking it would be in shape to play, However, greens were punched a second time and putting was like playing a game of Plinko. Sometimes it bounced toward the cup and sometimes it bounced away. Cart guy said they are punching again in two weeks so stay clear if you don’t want the hassle!
Good value
The course was in good shape, however the greens were a challenge. Not only they we’re aerated, but the holes weren’t filled in with sand😜
Pace of play was ok, we’re were delayed on a few holes due to slow play by the foursome in front of us. NO Marshall ever seen on the course, however the beverage girl did come by 4 times ( 2 on the front 9 and 2 times on the back nine😀
4 out of 5
Fix the greens and get a Marshall to keep the pace up and I would of gave it a 5
Another Disaster
I have to mention first that I missed or didn't see the aeration statement on website. Got the course this morning and walked up to the practice green to see the green punched and not to sanded and the starter said yeah about a week ago they did it. The Greens were very very bumpy and you just putted it at the hole and hoped for the best. Fairways and around were sparse of grass and uncut in other areas, really not a very much resemblance of a golf course and what the course is 73 years old it looks it. 55.00 for this course is ridiculous. all course with aeration and summer conditions should be 25-35 dollars tops. So many courses in AZ are beyond subpar I am really tired of it. I don't want to hear the word transition anymore.
Great Price
This the course was great to play me and my son enjoyed our time. We played pretty fast and was able to finish in three hours. I even got a birdie on a par five I believe it was a whole 16 or 17.
For it to be Summer, the course is in great condition.
Nice day to play!
Course was in a good condition, well, maybe some part of the greens that doesn’t have grass right now, just some patch of dirt. But overall, nice and good course!
Toka Sticks
It was our 1st time at Toka Sticks and we were pleasantly surprised. Course was a little dry so got some extra yardage out of some of our shots. It’s relatively flat with only 1 water hazard to contend with. We enjoyed the course and would recommend you give it a try.
Slow play
We played on a Friday afternoon and waited 5 to 10 min at each hole. I guess there was a men’s group playing a “tournament” so they were treating every putt like it was the US Open. We only made it through 9 holes before we couldn’t take it anymore. Not a pleasant afternoon and probably won’t go here anymore.
Uh Oh Water Issues
Played 5/4, not paired. Hardly anyone playing and once we saw the course we figured out why. The whole course was dead, greens were spotty green. Asked what happened, was told their water well pumps were out of order for a couple of weeks, just now are repaired. Most likely will be awhile before this course is back. Nothing about this on their website! It’s a decent track when the course is nice. The staff there is extremely nice!
Dry and Firm
Everything from the Tee Boxes to fairways to the greens are super and dry and extremely firm. Tees breaking when trying to tee your ball up. Bunkers have no sand and basically just desert/rock. If you hit the green your shot will bounce and be long. Insane how much they charge just for you to play rock hard surfaces
Overpriced: Dead grass
I played this course with my son because we went out on a whim and it’s close to home. Greens fees were about $100 per player on a Saturday afternoon. You can find much better value with courses close by. Fairways were full of dead grass. Greens were in bad shape. In most places around the course you can’t discern rough from fairway due to the lack of playable grass. I will cross Toka Sticks off my list of courses to play. It is definitely not worth the greens fee with other worthy courses close by.
Burnt and bad shape
The course was completely burnt up and dry. I guess they had some problem with their water is still charges full price. Of course it was the worst shape course I’ve ever seen in my life.
Course is really bad
I have played Toka Sticks numerous times over the last 7-8 years. Always lush and green. We got to the course and it was all brown, nothing green about it. As we were waiting to go to the tee box, started was telling us their water pipe to the underground water reserve was broke and had been 3 weeks trying to get it fixed. They hoped to have water on the course that afternoon.
We teed off and instantly you see, no grass on the course to stop your ball, rolled forever, the greens, wouldn't hold a shot onto them, everything rolled off no matter how high or even how short you hit, it was off the back of the green. You placed your putter on the green to lean down and grab your ball, it would literally fly along the green as if it was on glass.
The bunkers were nothing but a spec of dirt on hard concrete.
If this condition was brought on by the lack of water, it should have been told to us before the round began and like Foothills a few years ago, you should have closed the course for a week or so to get water back on it, or offered discounts. Totally unacceptable playing conditions. Will give it a month or so to try and see if they get it green again.
DO NOT PLAY HERE. Watering issues.
They have not watered their fairways in what must be weeks. Everything is dead and hardpan. Yet they want to charge full rate. They're taking advantage of people who don't read reviews.
Don't drop a match..
Or the place will go up in smoke... I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the current state of the course. I played a round recently for my son’s birthday, and the fairways were drier than any active course I have ever seen—it looked closer to a facility that had been closed down.
While we didn't ask for a refund at the time because we wanted to honor the birthday celebration, a member of your cart staff informed us that a well is broken and may not be fixed for another 2–3 months.
If the course is unable to maintain standard playing conditions due to infrastructure failure, that should be disclosed at the time of booking. Charging full rates for "worst-ever" conditions is not a sustainable way to treat your regulars. I’d like to know what the plan is for service recovery for those of us who paid for a premium experience and received a "broken" one.
