Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

The fairways were muddy and there was standing water in many of the traps. The other traps were dried mud. The greens were like concrete and the groundskeeper decided to put every pin on the side of a sloping hill. Someone should explain that this is not the Masters and the course should be challenging but fair. Overall, I played at a number of other courses around Phoenix/Scottsdale where the fairways were lush and the greens actually held your shot.

Played from the black tees. 7000 yards. Challenging. Greens firm & fast. Bunkers create most of the challenge. Not much elevation change. Staff was excellent - from the clubhouse check in to the cart guys to the beverage girl. Very friendly! Would definitely play again - great value.

Wide open; almost no trouble. Very fast greens with some very unfair pin placements, in fact, outrageous.

Fantastic Greens. Played 4 other course and Talking Stick North was in the best shape. Fairways were pure - Green were fast and smooth. A couple of tough pins but that is part of the gig there. I am a MN guy that goes to Scottsdale to play good but not overly expensive golf - and Talking Stick North - especially on Golfnow is a great price (but not cheap) and a phenomenal price.
Wished I would have played it all 5 days.

az. resident, first time on this course.

had an awesome time, paired up with a nice guy from texas.

we played GOLD/TEAL combo tees.

the greens were about the best i have ever seen.
fast, but true. the guy i played with dropped 3 or 4 putts over 25 feet.

we were a 2-some and never had to wait.

beautiful course and fairways and bunkers in great shape.

paid $85, which is at the top of my price range.

did not eat there.

definitely will be back.

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.
