Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

The course was decent but the layout was totally uninspired. Back and forth with no character. The food was ok but the staff was far from accommodating. Asked for lunch menu at 10:45am but not available at all until 11:00am. Wait or order breakfast was the curt response. For the money I’d never play here again.

Couldn't use driving range or putting green due to seeding, no big deal, just would have like to hit some warm up shots.

South course is closing Monday 25th to seeding time. Nice course, wish they would give Arizona residents discount, "summer rates", in winter season instead of charging us an arm and leg to golf, like ALL courses do in the winter, to the snowbirds.

Fun course. Many examples of risk, reward. Greens/fairways in great shape. The course has matured well over the past 28 years and is well maintained. Ranks in my top ten!

I basically had the course to myself. The whole round took 2-1/2 hours.

The staff was not customer friendly - the bag attendants, after saying hi to them, never said a word to me, just kept talking to each other. Plus, without warning, they had just closed the driving range and putting green - and said everybody is doing it.

Great course especially for the value. Greens were in great shape just the heat was brutal at 105.

The O'odham Course (Formerly North) is definitely the better of the two if your debating. Both are in great condition but the O'odham is a far better layout.

The course is wide open with no rough.....pretty straight forward for more advanced players. The greens were good and seem that they would always have getable pins and I really loved the fairways.....probably the best fairways I've played in the valley in the last couple month. Awesome!

But the bunkers were very inconsistent and could use some maintenance and some sand! If they can dial in the bunkers it would be top notch.

If your looking for a relaxing round on a well conditioned track......then book it.

Fairway was generous and wide. No stressful layout

The only thing that wasn't excellent was they had just recently top dressed the greens. The greens were still smooth and a good speed though.

The maintenance is still making the greens bumpy and roll is unpredictable. The fairways are beautiful. This is my favorite course of the two. I'm sure the greens will improve over time but manage expectations until probably mid to end of September.

This is a fun layout with great practice area. Fairways and tees are perfect. But... the greens just don't roll. They even tolled them the day we played. I wanted to try it again after a few months to see if anything had changed. Unfortunately no. I get this is August in AZ and you need to protect them but they are like Velcro. On the plus side there are no bare spots you will see elsewhere.

Course was average not some thing I would pay a lot for a round it had no water hazards or challenges

We stayed at the Talking Stick resort so I played the North course Sunday and Monday mornings at 06:30. The staff is friendly, the range is nice, with stacks of balls to hit. There is nothing wrong with the course. Being from the midwest, I like to play the desert courses that are target golf, more in the foothills. This is more resort golf, wide fairways, huge greens. I played with one ball for 36 holes. The rate was fair and the pace of play was great! i was paired up with very nice people both days so I had an enjoyable time playing at Talking Stick. The only challenge was the greens have their summer grass so the hold the ball perfectly and are about a 1.5 on the stent meter. We pretty much just smashed the putts, scraped the second one and moved on. I'm sure the greens will be perfect when the weather cools.

Nice place, treated well, just not overly challenging.

A great layout and excellent conditioning. Greens a little slow, but is summer.

Beautiful setting, beautiful course, great value summer rates. Will play again

Beautiful course in great condition. Usually at this time of the year all of the grass at most courses is yellow and thin with lots of bare spots but this course was 100% Lush grass everywhere while you were on the course. Unfortunately as soon as you get off the course you are in the desert and I spent way too much time out there than on The Fairway. Other than that great day of golfing
