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 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

The Best Fairway Conditions In Years

The only changes necessary are raising the left side of the greens on holes 2, 3, and 12. Any shots rolling to the left side of those greens will probably roll off and under the too nearby barbed wire fence. And some of the greenside bunkers need new sand.

Course was in good shape and we finished in under 4 hours. Bar was closed at 6pm which was annoying.

This was our opener round and it was relaxing and fun to play. Fairways were easy to hit, greens were quick and challenging to read. Pace of play was a touch slow but we were happy to take our time. Nice afternoon of golf! Using the Golfnow deal was a bonus.

Great condition

Played the O'odham course and it was in great shape. There were no bare spots in the fairways and the greens were fast but fair. Lots of undulations in the greens made putting a challenge. Well worth the money.
