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.

Fletch
An enjoyable round. Staff very accommodating and pleasant. Course conditions very acceptable.
Always a decent time
Toka Sticks is always in pretty decent shape. Not too difficult, not too easy, so it's a nice place to play if you can get a decent price.
Great course for the money
Course layout was a little confusing must be because it was our first time the course conditions were alright lots of rodent holes. Pace of play was okay but the schedule two singles behind us that we allowed to play through because it only made sense. Only downfall was that they started picking up all the flags before we were done and we have to finish our last 3-4 holes without flags which was a lot harder and took longer due to the fact one of us had to go stand by the hole to get an idea of where to shoot.
Could use a ranger
We have golfed numerous times and enjoy this course, but there were 5 different groups waiting on one hole this time out. They really could use a ranger at times because pace of play can be very slow and it causes multiple groups waiting on one hole. Once the waiting starts, it seems to continue throughout the round based on what we experienced there.
Solid muni
Overpriced at $110, but it gets the job done if you can get a $70 winter rate.
Yikes
This course is the epitome of a dog track. Wide open, dead spots everywhere. I am very okay with a dog track here and there, but anything over $45 for 18 here is criminal. The range was very busted.
Good old Toka
Nearly 3 hours to play the front nine. I think it’s the 8 min tee sheet interval, or the course design with a par 5,3,5,3 on holes 2-5, whatever the cause it’s terribly slow. People started quitting on the back nine so it went a little faster. Course is in decent shape, greens are good, tee boxes are not. Little drinking water on the course. It’s all be to expected though, good old Toka Sticks.
Playable
The course is well maintained and the staff was friendly. A basic, flat layout, but it is golf. For me, PRICE always plays a big part in my decision where to play. At $79, this was the top end of what I would pay for this course. On this day, proximity played a bigger role, otherwise I probably would not have paid that much to play here.
Toka Sticks is a good course
Good course! Good shape! Good pace! A hidden gem of a course.
Perfect day for golf
The course was in near perfect condition. 4 hr round.
