Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
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.

Golfer Reviews
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
Fun and forgiving course
First time playing Talking Stick. Was amazed how green the fairways were for being the summer. The driving range and putting green was also in fantastic condition. Pace of play was very quick, sub 4 hours. Greens were brown, but was expected this time of the year with the heat. They rolled amazing which is all that matters. Can tell they take really good care of the course all year round. The course is very forgiving, there is no rough. Just huge fairways and desert landscape! Will be back for sure.
Impeccably maintained, fun layout
Course was really well maintained. No real flaws or negatives at all about our round. Booked through GolfNow and the price was pretty reasonable by Scottsdale standards. Fairways were wide and greens rolled flawlessly. Layout was fun and competitive, just wish the had sprinkled in a few signature/memorable holes. Great practice facility, nice clubhouse and drink cart made frequent rounds.
Still a great course.
Haven’t played Talking Stick in several years. The course was in great shape and still fun.
My only complaint was the pace of play. It took nearly 5 hours to play. Otherwise it was a good experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great afternoon on the course
Most holes have wide open space
Hazards are well placed for challenges
Can stay out of trouble if stay off the edges
Play was very smooth until 6th and then a major backup behind a foursome
Playing solo, you can expect some delays from a larger group.
However, when got to 6, the pair in front of me was waiting as soon the solo behind me was also done and waiting, with 4 tee times all logjammed at 6.
We decided to group up and play as a foursome and had a great afternoon
