Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

Compared to the "big name courses" in Scottsdale this place has good value. Not quite as challenging but in beautiful shape. Fairways are manicured, loved the greens, excellent service. Much better than some of the biggies.

Staff friendly, fair course, conditions good, bunkers need a little more sand, greens hard and fast. Pace of play was 5 hours, unacceptable!

Nice course and nice people. The greens were excellent. Would play again.

The course layout was friendly, wide fairways and avoidable obstacles. Professional staff, on time start and grest pace of play.

Checking in was a circus. No carts available, no direction to the practice range, thought range balls were included but they weren't. I got yelled at for hitting someone else's abandoned range balls and for being in the wrong area of the range! Nice way to get mentally prepared for a round. Slow, slow, slow play. Ranger was driving around but did nothing to get the slow groups moving. Balls don't roll true on the greens. Not going back again.

This course(North) needs two more tee boxes. They have no ladies tees and notenough distinction in tee lengths for seniors and average golfers.

My son from Milwaukee & I had a wonderful experience at Walking Stick. I would suggest anyone

that comes to this area should book a day of golf at

this place. Kent C Meyer

It was our first time playing the North course at Talking Stick. My first impression as we drove up was "boring and flat". We come from the Prairies and I wanted a little more excitement to the round. I was pleasantly surprised and, yes, challenged. Yes, the course is flat, but the holes are long and lots of bunkers. I seemed to find these (as per my review title). There were also a few friendly coyotes along the way (looked like small horses). One even went up onto the green while the group behind us was putting. All in all it was a great day - some nice views and great pace of play.

Got late day tee time so wasn't sure we could finish. Pace was so good that we had no problem. Course in great shape!

Really nice course , wide open , nice greens , a pleasure to play...hopefully next time it will be above freezing...

Generally the course was OK, but we were held back about 3/4 hour with frost delay. Then, the second nine was terribly slow. The course marshals had gone home and we barely made it in with light. It was a disappointment.

Had a great time at a fun course the was in nice shape. Suggest they get a marshall to speed up play.

All was going along fine until late in the round when the beers got working on all the groups around us and the noise level got unbearable. The tees and greens are close together on this course so you need to count on courtesy of others. Unfortunately this was the case. After complaining to the group behind us they took umbrage with our request and harassed us the rest of the round. The course was good greens fast and I played well. Just didn't like the carneval atmosphere.

From pulling up to the drop off and leaving the pick up area everything in between was spot on.

Fairways on the North course are some of the

widest and most forgiving I have ever played.

Greens were some of the fastest I have ever experienced, just kept on rollin. Everyone that we came in contact with (employees) were so nice, polite

and helpful. Made our day a special one. Will definitely come here next chance we are in town.

My wife and I thank you!

Met staff on 5 hole said play was slow and he said I will send ranger out right away. Never seen any one almost 5 hour round.

The course is in great shape. The ball sits up nice and fairways are wide. The greens rolled true. It is a great resort course with wide fairways for players who want to hit driver a lot without too much risk. The only downside is that the back nine features 7 par 4s that seemed to have hazards at the same distances. It is a feel good course with plenty of opportunity to score
