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. Great conditions

Played very nice. Firm greens. 2 hour front nine in the afternoon with full tee sheet. At 11, there was a 30 minute back up I think from someone accidentally skipping 8,9,10 which may happen to a novice. Nice open fairways. And need water filled in the filling stations otherwise, great Tim

North course

Course was in great condition relative to other courses. Expensive but what isn’t in February in Scottsdale. Very wide open course with no rough. Greens very fast and in great shape.

Nice shape but pretty boring to play

Overpriced for the quality of the coarse design. Definitely a "resort" coarse.

Course was in incredible condition

Great course ! Scored a great price on day of Super Bowl. The layout of the course was challenging yet fairly forgiving off the tee. Spectacular shape with fast greens ! First time playing and would love to come back. Wildlife on and off the course was a nice addition to the day.

Great, if you like ROCK HARD greens

Tees and fairways were in GREAT shape; however, the greenside bunkers were lacking sand, and the greens were like concrete. My group had several wedges and short irons just hit and bounced past the pins, or off the back of the green. Putting was beyond difficult.

Unbelievable that course at this price would have such unplayable greens.

So So

Great conditions. Great resort. The golf was pretty boring. Play this course if you want friendly staff, well manicured grass and to just grip an rip. It’s flat boring wide open. Greens are in good shape

Great to knock the rust off to start a trip but the price doesn’t match the course .

Expected more!

Greens were covered with divots. Faairways were not maintained. Did not see the value for what we paid. We were disappointed because it used to be a great course
