Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

Played on July afternoon and got lucky with cloud cover. Course was in excellent shape, played in 3 1/2 hours. Ranger came around with free water and Gatorade, Nice!

The only reason I gave Talking stick one star for pace of play is because I can't figure out how to give them negative stars on this application. I work in the golf business and play a lot. I've never seen a course send out so many twosomes without pairing anyone up. There was no ranger and didn't have any staff that was remotely friendly besides the beverage girl. This course is boring and easy. Do not waist your time or your money on this course.

Overall a good course but played hard. Fairways & greens were very hard. No ball marks on the greens which showed the hardness of the greens. Fairways cut too thin which made it hard to pick the ball off the fairway. But very open & forgiving. Very flat course.

Super slow greens. A good challenge with some tough driving holes. Bring your driver to the green.

The chicken wrap was really delicious. Very impressed with the course conditions. The only change I would make is to add a little more speed to the greens.

When you have to wait at every hole the round has no rhythm and the price you pay is no longer a value.

The north course which we played is very fair and playable. Greens were slower then expected but putts ran well.
Beverage cart discontinued service just after 4pm which was weird.
Would recommend to play if your in town

Almost stopped playing due to the lightning. I was glad we stayed,it sprinkled on us 4 or 5 times. I thought the course was in great shape. Thanks

Great price, course was in great shape. Worth the money, would recommend.

Both of the Talking Stick Golf courses are beautiful and always fun to play...BUT, i played there about 4 times between march and June and the greens were always super slow and not really exciting to putt on.
Also bunkers need work...rock hard and no sand at all.
Still a nice course that I can recommend

Great Practice Tee. The greens were great. The starters are a little confusing. Overall a great course.

Beautiful course with lots of wildlife. I seen coyotes, bobcats, road runners and lots of prairie dogs. I would definitely play here again.

This is a fun course to play for all handicaps. But the greens are to slow.

Our foursome played the course in 3 1/2 hours - great pace. Golf staff and restaurant staff (we had a very good lunch after golf) extremely friendly. Played North Course, and it was in very good condition.
Tee time was booked through GolfNow, and, was an excellent value for this course. Would definitely play again if the same offer is presented.

Played a day after torrential rains unusual weather for late May. Course was a little beat up by the rain with a lot of pounding in low areas. Overall the greens crew should be commended for getting it playable. Played on Sat afternoon in 4 hours!

Great deal off Golf Now; otherwise I do not play this or other resort courses as they usually ask a premium compared to other nice courses in the Valley. Was somewhat crowded on a Sat afternoon, which led to a 5+ hour round. "Bad Neighbor" was the Talking Stick Resort Hotel, which, though up to a mile away, played thumping party music audible from every part of the course. Was very annoying.

First time at Talking Stick North....great practice area to warm up or work on game....course was in great shape and the greens ran true and good speed. Well worth the money spent. Will definitely play again.

Golf course is very flat, but in great shape. Some of the holes seem to blend together; somewhat lacking that "wow factor". However, what's nice about Talking Stick - North is the fact that there are no blind shots and what you see is what you get. If you're not right down the middle, be careful though, as balls can easily bounce from the fairway into the desert (no rough to slow your ball down). Great course to begin your trip on. I wouldn't pay $100 to play this course, but for the price we paid it was a good deal. I would recommend.

Highly anticipated to play this course. Disappointed that closing of driving range was not announced during the booking process. Staff snobishly denied allowerence of golf cart to parking lot citing "potential accident". Overall, staffs are cold to patrons. Nice course design, good fairways, poor green condition.

It was a great experience, we have longed to play this course for a few years; but just never could find a reasonable price. The only thing that was somewhat annoying was the music from the "pool party" at the Talking Stick Resort, it should be turned down somewhat for the respect of the golfers who have aid good money for a nice peaceful round of golf.
