Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Not a bad option
I wouldn't go out of my way for Talking Stick but if you are in the area, it's worth playing.
The Stick
Great course but the range and practice putt area were both closed. Totally unacceptable for the price
Well kept and up to date amenities
Really enjoyed this course. Very rustic feel. Could use more signage and water stations along the way to hydrate. Lots of standing water with visible pumps as well.
Greens and fairways well maintained. Very nice and clean up to date club house. Overall. You won’t be disappointed.
Beautiful course rude staff
Course was in great shape pro shop and club house staff friendly however the starter irritated us with the instant disrespectful attitude and sending the ranger 3 minutes into a 3 some saying how we’re holding up pace of play and to pick up and move on. Ranger met up with us a few times and he was super cool after the first interaction without the starter yapping in his ear.
Amazing course but hot!
Great course and because of the heat we were able to get an amazing rate. Would love to play again when the weather is cooler.
Great course, Excellent staff!
All of the staff we interacted with were great. They all made playing Talking Stick the right choice. I look forward to going back and playing the other course.
In great shape, layout of O’odham course is very open, bring out the driver. Amazing views of the McDowell mountains. Overall great course
An enjoyable round during the la or weekend
It was nice to get back to this golf course and found it in good condition. Besides, earring in mind high temperatures in the area plenty of water was handed out by the Marshall during the round.
Great shape
Course was in excellent shape considering the time of year. Staff was excellent and the updated grill was amazing.
Review of Talking Stick
The course was in great condition. Greens were very large and pretty fast and hard. The property is very flat and many of the holes seem to be indistinguishable from each other.
Nice Open Course!
Course is in good shape for end of summer! Pace was good. Will be back soon.
Avid golfer
The starter was pushy and very bossy.
Bec cart lady was sweet sadly we didn’t see her until hole 12 but still bought something to support .
The gentleman who would check pace of play was very friendly.
Pace of play was amazing no one in front of us so that helped on a hot day.
Well maintained course
Had a great time golfing with my grandson. Would definitely golf there again
