Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

Disappointed that we didn't get to play the South Course. We signed up for that one but relegated to the North course when we arrived. Felt it was not the best course for the money. Extremely boring course. We won't be back.

Staff could be more friendly & attentive with service. While in pro shop, staff took my cart with all my belongings & hot dog, thinking I just abandoned it. Need more bathrooms or better locations on the course. Tee time was late in day (1:52),couldn’t finish course before sunset, drove off leaving 4 unfinished holes! Course was slow, no rangers to move it along.

It lacks the elevation change and wow factor of a lot of the bigger names, but this course has as much strategy and charm as any course in the Valley. It's wide fairways are forgiving and you're not likely to shoot a huge number here but the subtleties of the greens make it hard for even good players to go low. It's a great course.

It's in very nice condition right now. Greens are firm and rolling well, fairways also had some bounce. A couple areas around the green were a bot soft which was the only issue. Hopefully that will resolve as the course matures from overseed.

We played the front nine briskly then ran into a logjam of groups on 12. Even so we still played in under 4 hours which is not bad on a Sunday afternoon when following a junior event.

The junior event, however, did create my only real complaint for the day. The event put out special flags, all the same color, and the course didn't provide any pin sheets. So all day long we had no idea what the hole locations were from the fairway. That's frustrating on a course with relatively big greens, some of which are somewhat blind and/or not well defined. Otherwise, a wonderful day out on a beautiful November day in Phoenix.

I played the more forward tees and found it to be a very comfortable course, with interesting holes and great conditions. My wife played the most forward tees and found that she could reach the greens in regulation on most holes.

The most concerning part of the round was that the website and Golf Now said that it was not cart path only, but it was making for a difficult walk for my partner's bad knee. Lots of construction going on, but still worth the trip.

Course was in great shape. Views spectacular. Very nice day of golf.

Golfed with a local gentleman, who had great knowledge of the course and was very engaging!

The round to over 5 hours and 15 minutes. When we got to the first tee we found out it was cart path only. The starter gave us the wrong score card (there are 2 courses) and the staff very poor.

Thé course is great. We probably fell on a bad day. First nine took almost 2.5. Hours to play. Horrible pace. Because of that we could not finish the 18th when the sun set. We never saw a Marshall on the course. It could have saved our round.

Golfnow did not inform us that it was cart only. We were very disappointed when we were told at the course.

playing a golf course in the middle of a desert it's puzzling to me one of the carts have to stay on the path. Useless water and let the cards go to the ball. It just slows down play.

Great layout and appropriate level of challenge for a resort course. It was in great shape and enjoyable to play. Unfortunately it rained for much of the round; nevertheless after a 40 minute wait for rain we were able to finish our round. It was nice to get dry towels after nine. The staff were particularly helpful and friendly. Hope to play here again someday (when its sunny).

Price was too high for the conditions. Staff did a great job.

The course was exceptionally well maintained. Greens were good and speed was average.

Pace of play was a little slow but tolerable.

Really enjoyed the north course and highly recommend it.

Played Talking Stick O'odham course on October 4, 2018 which was only two days after major rainfalls in the Phoenix area. Amazed that we were able to drive carts on the course! Several cart path detours due to standing water but the maintenance staff were working hard to remove the unexpected 'ponds'. Pace of play slowed a little by the wet conditions, but round still done in 4.75 hours.

It was our first time playing this course and we enjoyed the overall experience.

Total staff was professional and friendly. Wide open fairways give players with varied skill levels the opportunity to play shots to the green. Greens roll true and moderately fast. We will definitely be back next year.

range and putting green closed, bunkers were hard as rock, course in bad shape due to rains...
