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.

Overpriced

This course is not worth half of what they charge. Flat, straight layout Indifferent staff. Average condition. Got me once, but that'll be it.

Course is nice a little unkept!

The green were nice, the tee boxes were very poorly kept. The remainder of the course was in mid-poor shape. Nice layout!

Enjoyable Round

First round on our visit to Scottsdale area. Course was in excellent condition including the greens which were fast with subtle breaks. Pace of play was very good for resort course, just over 4 hours.

Average course great playing partners

The course was good but not great. I was a single teamed with 3 others, a husband and wife and a young man. They were great playing partners. The round was a lot of fun. For a golfer on a budget, it is a good course.

had fun

Waited on every single tee box yet finished in 4 ½ hrs. Probably normal nowadays, though it's annoying to wait on every hole. Fun course however. Resort layout with wide fairways and you don't lose balls. Most players will appreciate both. Greens were great. Hard to get a reasonable green fee.

Decent

Decent course although the layout is somewhat boring. Very forgiving fairways and large greens. No ranger on the course so pace of play was 5 hours + which was frustrating. Good course to knock the winter rust off before taking on more challenging courses.

Fun course, great condition

Played the north course and very impressed with course conditions. Not a bad lie all day. Very wide fairways and a pretty straight forward course. Nothing spectacular, but a fun round of golf.

Awesome shape - Greens very fast!

Course was in great shape and everyone enjoyed the layout. Fairways wide enough, but lots of tough sand bunkers. Greens were extremely fast and tough, but would definitely play again.

Nice loop

Fun course. Long enough to be a challenge. It was weird that there was no rough, the "fairway" inside the desert boundaries was therefore huge. I'd like to come back when they let the rough grow to add some more challenge.
