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.

Generic Public Course
The course is nothing special. In a town surrounded by fantastic courses, this is underwhelming.
Nice course
All was great , greens really fast, only complaint the course can’t control is we were paired with another group, one guy really nice the other painfully rude and full of himself .
Great course
Great pace of play
Tee boxes, fairways and greens excellent shape
Bunkers need more sand
Clubhouse currently under construction, difficult to access restrooms at the turn , you have to wait until the 12th hole
Great shale from tee to greens, starter very friendly , paired with another twosome who were nice to play with,
Course not overly challenging as wide and fairly flat, only complaint is no bathroom until hole 13 , tougher on the ladies ! Overall a great day .
Great Course
This course was awesome, the last time I played on tee boxes, fairways and greens like this was when I was in Cabo and played Quivira. This was a wonderful experience; I will talk about this for a long time. Thank you and hope to see you again.
Great course
It was my first time in this course. The condition was very nice. I totally recommend this course
Solid course for a hot deal price
Great course for the hot deal prices nothing more. Fairways and rough were very green. Although the green were hard as a rock and pretty quick. It’s a sweet little feel good course. 260 yard par 3 is definitely a good little challenge! (From the tips)
Nice Golf Course
Enjoyed the course. Great condition, nice greens.Huge range and putting green! Staff very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to play this course again!
Tougher than it looks
Super fast greens. Fairways are lush and generous (but I still managed to miss a couple). Greenside bunkers have almost zero loose sand so be prepared to dig hard.
The North Course at Talking Stick
I golfed the North Course at Talking Stick on Sunday 12/10/23 and it was in great Condition, the greens were fast and true. The Fairways were grown in nicely and the bunkers were playing really well. The only part that wasn't good is the clubhouse being under renovation.
Fraudulent tee time
I booked the tee time for December 14th @ 10:36 for $47. & immediately got a text from my bank reporting fraudulent activity. I called the course & they said there was an opening for a single at regular price. I called TeeOff to report this & they said they would investigate as the time did not show on their system. Hello TeeOff Someone is hacking your site
The time still appears today, 3 days later. Good luck losing your money
Great course great price
Play many courses here in Scottsdale: Troon, Gray Hawk, We-Ko-Pa, McCormick Ranch and this was a great value. Only course I would put ahead of it is We-Ko-Pa but that course in $200+. They are building a clubhouse but that did not impact our round so no amenities.
