Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Outstanding
This was my first time playing here and I have to say that the service and the customer service is number one and next time I visit Arizona I will play again.
Great staff
The course layout leave a bit to be desired, but for the $80 value it was very solid and it great shape. Range balls come included and 2 sleeves with my rental clubs. Highest compliments to the friendly and engaging staff!
Spring Showers
Played course many times over the years always in the "best" shape. Most courses on Rez are. Great expansion of the clubhouse grill with a large expansion of outdoor patio area with firepit overlooking the course. But they close to early. They really need to add a chipping area to kick it up a level.
One of the nicer courses
Had a very good experience playing this course, Conditions were good and the staff was very friendly as they checked in on our group throughout the day,
Great track
Great course very playable, greens rolling pretty good. Overall great day on a super course. Would definitely play again on our next rip.
Not a good experience
It was your typical resort golf course! Was there at 6:50 for a 730 tee time, The bag staff cart guy was very rude and unprofessional. The driving range was not set up until 720.! To cap it off, my threesome was sent out behind a foursome of employees who did not let us play through and it took us five hours to get around this golf course I called the pro shop and never saw a Ranger or cart girl the entire day
