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.

Rough too penal
Greens were decent, though very hard. Fairways a bit shaggy. The rough, however, was very penal. “Normal” rough probably 4-5” and those (in my opinion) idiotic “deep rough islands” were knee height. All told, the group lost at least 7 balls because they happened to go into these areas.
Not worth it
Greens are in terrible shape, and the dead grass not being collected from the mower every where gets really annoying. Definitely not worth $39 for this time of year.
Mess
Horrible condition...cut grass laying on top of 6 inch rough. The greens are a mess.
Should go ahead and build houses on this land if you're not going to maintain it as a golf course.
no maintenance, water everywhere! what!!!
did not take long until you realized their maintenance was lacking. Thick un mowed rough with some fairways have large un mowed areas that was impossible to find your golf ball delaying play many times. Many greens had large water areas in front of the greens which was very unusual. We had to get ball retrievers to get balls out of small water areas directly in front of the greens. Do not play there until they get their maintenance improved.
It was iffy
Some of the course was well groomed and other parts had dead trees laying right in the middle of the course, if that’s how it has always been I’m sorry for the rating but that’s my biggest concern
Thank you for leaving a comment and rating. We should be completing our tree cleanup project at the end of this week. The recent weather hasn't been to nice to the course and we are doing our best efforts to bring it back to playing conditions. Thanks for coming out and playing at Toka Sticks GC.
Sad about condition and no notification
I’ve played Toka Sticks for years and it has always been one of my favorite course. I was so disappointed at the conditions I experienced today and even more so that they didn’t at least let us know about the conditions while still charging normal greens fees. I know there are challenges with recent weather and pandemic impacts upon obtaining proper staffing but again let the players know when course conditions are not up to standard.
Thank you for let us know about your golfing experience. The management team took your comment very seriously. To better serve our guests, the team designed a specific web page dedicated to letting players know the current course conditions and maintenance schedule on our website. We also have the same information posted in the Golf Shop and the entire Golf Shop team has been properly trained in giving the proper information to our guests. We hope this accurate information is assessable to all. Thank you for coming out and playing at Toka Sticks GC and we hope to see you back in the future.
Greens issue
The course was nice, but the greens were not good and water was everywhere. Hopefully it dries out and recovers.
Thank you for taking the time to express your golf experience with us. Unfortunately, our course has been getting more rain than we can handle and our drainage system is at full capacity. We are hoping to get more sun than rain in the next couple of weeks. We are currently repairing the greens from gopher damage by placing new sod in those problem areas. Please visit us in the future so that we can earn the extra 3 stars.
Greens were horrible shape! 4 some in front of us all thought they were big hitters and would wait until people were 350 yards up before hitting. 5.25 hour round of waiting! Marshall did all he could, but they were just slow. Paid $40 plus in August for this............should have been $25 tops. Staff was friendly though.
Thank you for expressing your experience at Toka Sticks GC. We will send your comment to the appropriate teams to fix these issues. Toka Sticks GC strives for creating a 5-star golfing experience. Thanks for playing at Toka Sticks GC and hopefully we can earn the other 3-stars.
Toka sticks
Lots of uprooted or damaged trees. Course was overwatered. All pins were yellow flags, should have had pin sheets.
We appreciate you taking the time to comment and let us know about your experience. Your 3-star rating draws concern for improvement. We are currently taking the steps to clean up the huge trees that are down on certain holes. Thank you for coming out and playing at Toka Sticks Golf Club. Hopefully, we can earn the other 2-stars on your next visit.
Kind of rough shape
But they are working on it. Quite a few of the big Eucalyptus are down, not just normal small stuff. Many greens had damage around the outer three feet. Certainly still playable.
Not bad
Not a bad course, especially for this time of year. Some standing water/puddles on the fairways here and there, and the greens were a bit bumpy, but a fairly simple layout and played in under 4 hours with a split foursome (two sets of tees). Bring your bug spray, though.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Your feedback helps us do better. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly. Thank you for visiting Toka Sticks Golf Club. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Under water
Played this place for the first time and this course was either a disaster or warzone, was not informed about the conditions of the course, I have never played on course, where you had to pull your ball out of standing water so much in my life, the greens were terrible period, the only great thing was the pace of play under 3 hours. Not worth the money is all I can say, I am sure I could of got a rain check, but I wanted to play golf, they should of informed us of the course conditions.
We appreciate the time you took to submit your comment and rating. Our maintenance team is still working on the clean up of the course. Yes, it was a war zone and very unexpected. We do send out warning emails in the morning in cases like this. We may not have the correct or no email under your profile and we appolozice for the misscommunication.
Windstorm took its toll
Because of the previous nights heavy windstorm everything about this review will be skewed. Many fallen trees , though none blocking okay and tree limbs dotted the course. Play was backed up an hour as the grounds crew valiantly got the course ready. Kudos to them for that. Pace of play was excruciating slow and the heat didn't help. However it still was a 4 hour round and the course was very green and in good shape considering the weather events. As with most courses the bunkers are hard and dried out. The beverage girl was all over, passed me many times so that was a good sign. I will play here again, I'll just be more judicious about the time I play a this is a 3:15-3:30 hour course and is very playable for a high handicapper, like myself.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and rate the course. Yes, it was a rough weekend out there and we are currently still cleaning up the debris. We hope you come back in the future when course conditions are at it's best.
Greens are in decent condition for this time of the year. Pace of play was excellent. Finish just under 4 hours
We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Toka Sticks Golf Club!
The course could benefit better managment
Arrived early at 0930 only to be told they were out of practice balls for range. Chipping green was a big puddle where it appeared a sprinkler had been on it for hours. Fairways had big areas that appeared to have chunks of turf just thrown onto bare areas and were dying. Pace of play extremely slow. Nice course close to home. Probably could use different management.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and rate the course. We fixed the range ball issue by purchasing a new range picking vehicle. Maintenance was currently doing a summer project of redoing certain areas on the course to prep for our overseeding process. We hope you come back and play in the future to notice the change.
