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.

A very long day of play

While the layout can cause some bottlenecks and pace of play in the winter is often 4.5 hours, it was an almost 5 hour round today. While we like the course and it's close to home, that's too long to be on the course. There did not seem to be much on course management so I'm not sure we'll be back during the winter. Additionally, we couldn't hit range balls as they "ran out" because they hadn't picked any up and apparently don't have a caged ball retriever. If you aren't worried about time, it's a fun traditional and forgiving course.

Enjoyable Round

Could not have asked for a better day. The round was a bit chilly to start but warmed up nicely. Overseed came in beautifully and I can’t remember the last time seeing the course in this kind of shape. Greens were fast but were very soft and held really well. My group and I will definitely be back!

Best shape I’ve ever seen it in!

Played over the weekend. What more could you ask for? Fairways were fantastic. The greens were in pretty good shape, just a little on the slow side. I played this course a bunch 10 years ago and it’s never looked or played this nicely.

4/5 stars because the practice green leave something to be desired. Practice green was very soggy and a lot of it was under repair.

Overall great bang for your buck during winter golf.

Pace was so slow and had to get the carts back by 3:00 because they said the sprinkler systems were timed for that so we only did 16 couldn’t finish. That’s poor management right there.

Toka Sticks Management - Thank you for your comment. The pace issue was due to the "Cart Path Only" restriction still in effect. Also, your rate was a 9 hole rate, becuase we can't guarantee 18 holes at the time you teed off. Thanks for coming out to play at Toka Sticks GC.

Great course

Great course for a great price. Pace was fast. Finished in about 3.5 hours. Only issue was the that all carts had to remain on the cart path for all holes due to overseeding but it's only temporary. Price was very good. Paid 45 bucks which isnt bad for this time of year. Will definitely play there again. Not super challenging but very still very fun to play.

The course had just had a reseed and the grass was to long in parts

Due to the reseed it was cart path only and the grass areas off the fairway still need another cut took a long time to find balls but this will get better with another cut

had a great day

Rough Shape

First time, was looking forward to it since the website says they have the “best greens in the state”. This is a lie. The fairways have globs of grass from being cut. I will not be back. They really need to give the course a manicure. Clumps of Grass clippings are everywhere. Not worth $45 right now plus it’s cart path only.

Toka Sticks Management - We appreciate letting us know about your experience. We are on cart path restriction because we just came out of our overseeding process and this is why the course conditions were what they were on that day. We suggest coming back in December when our grass has fully grown in and course conditions are better than the present.

Staycation

Wife and myself did a little staycation at the Marriott. So, since it was off the Toka Sticks Golf Course, I had to bring my clubs.

Everyone were very nice. Got out there on time, and was finished under three hours.

Greens were a little slow, and some had some disease. with some of the spots were dying. Other then that, the course was in great shape. I didn't really expect much, and was surprised at how fun the course was. Course is pretty much flat, and will need to pick and choose your spots to use your driver. Some waster hazards, and bunkers. Try to keep your ball on the fairways. The rough is cut high, easy to lose your ball.

Would diffidently come back, had a great time.

Nice course but not without issue

The course fairways and putting greens are well kept. However, each hole had multiple holes from gophers. Even in some of the tee boxes. Otherwise the carts are nice and run well and the course is laid out well too. We only got to play 12 holes due to out tee time start and their irrigation schedule. I'd like to return to complete the course.
