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.

Nice but track your water
Course is in great shape, hats off to the maintenance staff. Appreciate the water in the cooler and encourage more cooler access on the course.
This was our opener round and it was relaxing and fun to play. Fairways were easy to hit, greens were quick and challenging to read. Pace of play was a touch slow but we were happy to take our time. Nice afternoon of golf! Using the Golfnow deal was a bonus.
One wish is for them to keep the grill restaurant open longer than 5 pm

Very bland layout. Course was in good but not great condition. I have played many courses in the area- probably will not return to TalkingvStick
Great condition
Played the O'odham course and it was in great shape. There were no bare spots in the fairways and the greens were fast but fair. Lots of undulations in the greens made putting a challenge. Well worth the money.
Great course.
Course in great condition. Fairways like butter.
Greens quick and smooth.
Great course. Great conditions
Played very nice. Firm greens. 2 hour front nine in the afternoon with full tee sheet. At 11, there was a 30 minute back up I think from someone accidentally skipping 8,9,10 which may happen to a novice. Nice open fairways. And need water filled in the filling stations otherwise, great Tim
North course
Course was in great condition relative to other courses. Expensive but what isn’t in February in Scottsdale. Very wide open course with no rough. Greens very fast and in great shape.
Nice shape but pretty boring to play
Overpriced for the quality of the coarse design. Definitely a "resort" coarse.
Course was in incredible condition
Great course ! Scored a great price on day of Super Bowl. The layout of the course was challenging yet fairly forgiving off the tee. Spectacular shape with fast greens ! First time playing and would love to come back. Wildlife on and off the course was a nice addition to the day.
