Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

It was a great 4 th of July morning. The early tee time made for fast greens nice fairways. Pace of play out or this world. No one in front or back pushing or pulling us. Just an all around great morning on a great course. Can’t wait to play the North course again.

Had a free golfnow round so value was excellent. Probably would not return at the going rate of mid $100's for a couple of reasons outlined below. Well maintained fairways, tees, and greens. Excellent sand in the numerous bunkers. No water on this "north" course.

On the negative side, greens were very flat and typical resort style. Also, all the holes basically were the same layout so none really stood out. The need to do some rodent control as the place is literally crawling with gophers.

We had a group of buddies travel to AZ for a golf trip and to watch the WM Open. This was our 3rd course and did not disappoint. Course was in perfect shape and provided incredible views. Staff was above and beyond friendly from the start. Fairways are pretty wide open, but you will be penalized if you get too wild. Greens are fairly big, and very easy to 3 putt if you land on the wrong side. Would recommend and will come back.

I cannot say enough about Talking Stick Golf Club from the moment we arrived till the time we left, friendly and welcoming. The pro shop was well stock and the merchandise nicely displayed. The staff extremely professional and efficient getting the morning rush of golfers checked in and out the starter. On the day we played there was a junior tournament so the range and putting green was busy, we still managed to warm up and make our tee time. The starter gets five stars for his calm and friendly approach. After 18 holes on the O'odham course, we enjoyed lunch in the restaurant and managed to get out for another 18 on the Piipaash course. All in all the two courses are in exceptional shape there are a few holes with water hazards on Piipaash. The greens roll true and are medium to fast speed. I highly recommend either course for any level of golfer. The blended tee option is perfect for the average golfer. The scenery and surroundings are breathtaking. Thank you Talking Stick and keep up the excellent work.

The clues was in excellent shape and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. We have family down from Canada and they have a blast

Course was in great shape and the set up of the entire facility just made a lot of sense to me. Very glad I went and will go again if I get back in the area.

Fantastic views, amazing condition !! Friendly staff. Overall great experience.

Conditions were great especially the greens. No issue on conditions and pace of play. The staff did a great job and all were pleasant and I would definitely come back.

Incredible course conditions for December Fairways so we’ll kept, large greens very well manicured. We enjoyed our round and would definitely play here again!

The fairways and greens are in great shape. Also found, much to my disgust, that the sand traps are in great shape with soft, deep sand.

The fairways are wide and forgiving and there isn't any water on the O'odham course.

The staff were very helpful in getting me set up. I was greeted at the range and given a verbal outline of how the morning would progress until tee time.

Overall a very good experience.

First time here and although the course wasn’t memorable from a design standpoint, it checked most of the boxes for me. We were the 3rd time off and played in 3:50. Didn’t see any marshals . Conditions were better than average. WIDE OPEN fairways. Great option for the average player. No GPS on carts but most holes had obvious landing areas.

When i can play 18 in under 4 hours on a Sunday at a daily fee course , I’m happy. It’s worth $100 in season. Staff very friendly.

I’ve been golfing in the valley for years and avoided teeing it up here for years. Colleagues had said it was flat and pretty much uneventful.. Yes it’s a pretty straight forward course with little in elevation change. That said it’s in flawless condition the greens were quick and to me difficult to read.. Great view and not a house lined track. Overall fun to play and forgiving fairways so you can let the driver go. Enjoyable day.overall

Staff and range were excellent. Design is not exciting but a very good resort course.

Played the course for the first time and was very pleased with the layout and condition. I hadn’t played for about two months and it was a great track to play after a lay-off. Fairly wide fairways and receptive greens that rolled true. The staff in the pro shop and the starter were warm and welcoming.

This course is a scenic and challenging track. The fairways are well maintained and surrounded by native grass areas which are considered off limits. The greens are fast and tricky to read. The bunkers are among the few with aactual sand in them so playing out of them is easier. There are natural pitfalls incorporated in the lengthy fairways.

The practice area is well stocked and maintained. The 19th hole is well served and staff are veryfriendly, helpful, and well groomed. The resort itself is close by and the restaurants are amazing, it is a pleasure to play this course and make use of the facilities. I would recommend anyone try it.

I played the Talking Stick North Course which is my favorite of the 2 18's with its wider fairways, and longer holes. The course was in excellent condition. I recommend this course and this club to anyone. If you are a local and haven't signed up for their players card you should do so since it includes both breakfast and lunch with your round, and if you are going to be in town for the winter or a number of time a year I would also recommend purchasing the players card.

Staff were great, course was in excellent shape. Greens were very fast. The pace slowed down on the back nine. Had a very good time.

Staff very professional throughout my time there. Club house very nice. Adequate practice facility. Overall this course is designed to help golfers of most any skill level to land tee shots in the fairways. Most par 4s and 5s fairways are like hitting on a wide open practice range making it very easy to keep teeshots in the fairways. The approach areas had some challenges as the greens are well bunkered. The greens rolled smoothly with speed around 9. Overall it was a pleasant day on this golf course.

Played Talking Stick North. The course was in good shape. The pace of play was a little slow. It was a 5 hour round. The staff was very friendly.
