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.

Good course to work on skills

Fair to good condition fairways, tee boxes are a little hard, greens have that invasive poa grass so makes them a little rougher. Would like to see more water stations especially now that it’s warming up! Pace of play was average. This is a traditional layout course-fairways are side by side. It’s a good course especially with snowbirds leaving you can get a decent tee time and rates are coming down.

Need a Ranger on the course

Slow pace of play , Had 10:44 t-time, did not t off til 11:09.

Round finished at 3:50.

Long day, Waited on every hole, no ranger on the course to move the slow groups to pick up pace of play, and many new to golf golfers who have no idea what they are doing.on a golf course.

Good

Nice little place to place if you are down by Mesa gateway. I didn’t like that fact that in order to get an ice chest, there was a 2 drink minimum. What’s up with that? So Dont get one? Just wanted to keep my water bottles and towel cool.

Worth the money

This course is slightly above average in layout and conditioning. The staff is very friendly and pace of play was fine. Golf has become so expensive in the Phoenix area during the winter and it's hard to find reasonable rates. If you can play this course for $65 or less, it's well worth it.

Tough Par 3s

Lots of interesting holes. It was well worth the trip to play golf this far out.

Greens: has some tough spots (damage and disease). Rolled true and we’re consistent.

Fairways: freshly cut and well taken care of.

Rough: plenty of grass and not too long.

Cart girl did a good job making the rounds. We saw her at least 4 times

Kitchen was limited. Guess the chef is off on Tuesday. Had an 11 tee time and could only get snacks .

Would recommend this course it was fun.

Great opportunity

Older course is in great shape. We arrived early for our tee time and we’re sent out almost immediately. No one in front for several holes and we out paced our followers quickly. Staff was friendly and helpful since there were a few changes since we were there last. Fairways you wish you could take off your shoes and walk on. Exceptional deal!

I would recommend this course.

Good course but they do not have marshals. Play is sometimes slow because of slow groups. A marshal would help to speed up the game. A couple of greens are in rough shape and several are pretty tough (slopes). Overall good value. Cart girl (Jessy) and the starters (Fred, Jeff and Jake) are great. My wife and I get out a couple times a week and we always have a good time.

Toka review

The course is very straight forward and because the layout seems to follow the perimeter of the course in a anti clockwise fashion it doesn’t. Favour a right handed player who slices as OB is always out to the right. Some of the par threes are well protected by ponds and reeds especially if you play the back tees. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were quick and undulating. The course is quite flat and makes for an easy walk. My only complaint if the fact that the practice/range fairway runs parallel to the first fairway. I can’t believe no one gets hit. All in all I had a good experience!

Great course

Toka Sticks GC was in excellent condition. A few putting green surfaces were blemished and a couple of tee box areas could use some conditioning help.

Inside and outside staff, including the beverage cart staff member, were all very friendly, welcoming and appreciative of our presence on the course.

A challenging, well layed out design.
