Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

Course was in excellent condition, the fairways had been overseeded so it was cartpaths only. A bit of a pain but understandable
Greens weren't overseeded and were in great shape and true from green to green. Nice layout, not the longest course around but still fun some challenges. Good value.

The course was beautiful, well groomed and maintained. Vistas were amazing. However, the only yardage indicators were scattered on sprinkler heads. No navigation or traditional, colored markers. Also, cart usage was restricted to cart path only for no apparent reason. This contributed to a slower pace of play and much hiking, whuch, combined with no markers, led often to not having the correct club for the shot. The fairways were in great shape, not a lot of moisture, and no standing water. 90° rule would have made a huge difference, but honestly, I couldn't see why full usage was not available. Unfortunately these few inconveniences turned a great day of golf into an average day.

Great driving range..friendly staff...course in good condition ..greens could be a little faster...had a couple of slow players joining us and the ranger did a good job trying to keep them moving...lunch in grill was excellent and pro shop had a nice selection of clothes

Everything satisfactory, but nothing special except golf course views . Good views of valley and landmarks. Overpriced !

Course was pretty full but we made it around in 4 hours. Excellent practice facility. Very good value for a simple course that is playable. Bermuda greens take some adjusting to if you are used to bent grass. Overall a fun day on a well kept course that is close to the many features of Scottsdale.

Talking Stick North was just OK, and I wouldn't play there again considering the great alternatives in the area. The course is very flat with very few interesting holes. And the greens were very grainy and bumpy. The pace of play, though was good and fast. And the staff was nice. But overall the course really was boring. Didn't feel like a nice resort course

Friendly and professional staff. The course was in great shape for this time of year. I will play here again!

Dylan was very friendly and helpful!

My husband and I had a terrific time at the course however we must work on our handicap, which is presently OUR SWING! :-) We are going to get to work on it since the weather in Valley is returning to paradise temps and we get some lessons. We absolutely love to play!!!!!!

Thanks for a great time Talking Stick~

This was our first time playing this course. The course was challenging due to the depth of the bunkers. I was able to practice using my sand wedge on numerous occasions. The greens were very fast. It was difficult to get the speed right. Played with Bruce and Mike who were there for a convention. Really had fun. Temperature was 93 degrees but comfortable.

Course really busy with lots of local and resort guests playing it. It has very wide fairways that sometimes make it hard to aim the drive to a target. The south course is probably a better choice than the north. Staff friendliness and maintenance management (sprinklers running on driving range just beside people hitting!) could be improved.

No players assistant...front nine 2 hours hit a wall on back 2:40 to play back

Pace of play was terrible no ranger ever came by 5 -51/2 he round too slow with the temp it was today. Also doesn't anyone rake traps and repair ball marks.

Marshall refused to push group in front of us 2 holes open in front and made a 4 hrs round turn into 5 1/2 hour round. No sand in bunkers and why is it nobody rakes bunkers had to hit out of footprints will never play this course again and will caution anybody from playinj

This is a convenient course as it is close to town, scenic and well maintained. The fairways are for the most part wide, the greens roll well, and bunkers are in great shape. The terrain does not allow for a spectacular layout but it makes for an enjoyable round that allows you to be home or at the casino at a reasonable time.

The golf course is wonderful if you can stand the loud music blaring out of the casino over the golf course. At times one can only hear the bass of the music and nothing else. It is terribly annoying especially when trying to golf. They need to turn off that terrible outside music so the golf course is quieter.

The course was in good shape considering it was 105 degrees out. The cart staff was really friendly and the starter got me going (a single) when there was a gap in play before some bigger groups went off. The beverage cart came around several times during the round to make sure all was well and the other golfers on the course seemed to understand that it was hot and kept play moving very quickly. I finished my round in 2.5 hours. Now realize it was the middle of the summer in Phoenix, super hot, and by myself, but you can get around this track pretty easily. The layout was really nice with no major overlap between holes. Some of the fairways are HUGE and didn't have a hard time finding even mis-hit shots. That sped up the round for sure. Overall had great afternoon of golf in the heat and would come back again.

The weather was hot, but the course was great and because of the heat, the pace of play was awesome! This course has some really good challenges and a variety of holes. The pin placements were tough on some holes, but overall, very nice course and fair. When I play it again, I will know better where to hit the ball to keep it in play.

The course its self was pretty good even though the greens were aired one week before. However, the pace of play was painfully slow. It took my group about 4 and half hours to finish simply because we were waiting for the groups in front of us on every shot for the full 18. We did not see a single ranger on the course the entire time and the staff in the clubhouse actually double charged us on the payment when their computers went down.

The yardage makers were not very viewable. It was hard to get yardages to the pin with the second shot.

Great course, well maintained. Only complaint today was super slow play.
