The Talking Stick Golf Club features two golf courses designed by the architecture team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, who created distinct golf courses with enough choices to accommodate all levels of golfers. The golf club sits on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community reservation, a spot that provides the serenity necessary to endure a testing day of golf.

"Talking Stick's O'odham (formerly known as North Course) course, with its broad, angular holes rewards thoughtful play through the rise of its many options according to one's level of skill. Its low-profile, slightly crowned greens and close-cropped approaches encourage running as well as aerial assaults." -- Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw

The second hole is a par 5 that measures 552 yards from the Black tee and is one of two long holes, with the 17th being a par 5 that plays to 582 yards from the Black tees.

The 18th hole on the O'odham Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club is shorter, relatively speaking, a par 4 that measures 471 yards from the Black tees.

Great course for the summer

When we arrived to the course we were surprised to see all the features such as bag drop off and free range balls for a $60 tee time, we have played other courses around the area in much worse condition that were close to the same price and this course has to be one of the best courses money can offer for $60 or any good rate you can find during the summer. The only downside is the bunkers but staff notified us they would be closing the course for a few weeks to work on these bunkers.

Perfect Relaxed Resort Golf

Though the course is a very simple layout, and not challenging, it is very well maintained and ran very well by an excellent team. The starter was very nice and relaxed, while also executing his role with care. Highly recommend using golf now for this course especially because they list great hot deals!

Fun course but the traps were terrible

It was such a nice course but it's hard to understand why the traps were terrible. I understand it's in the desert but put more sand in there. Played a week in the area on 7 different courses and these traps were the worst.

For Golf Now

Can't really recommend them for the golfer who has a job. Had to get called in on a day off and there was no refund. Couldn't even reschedule (which is what I wanted). Cancel or show not really great options.

Great Track

It’s a nice course. Not easy, but not overly challenging. You won’t be losing many balls here. They keep it in great shape. Greens are nice and move really well. We did have a slow moving front 9, but, all in all, I’d definitely play it again
