Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course

Overall a great course. Some greens need to be addressed. I give it a C+

The greens on at least three holes were "patched" with pieces of sod. Green 18 on the North course was "unputtable". I have played this course a lot. This is the worst I have seen it. Poor greens!!!!!!!!!

For the 50.00 that I spent it was a poor value. Eagle Mountain, Copper Canyon and Whirlwind are better value. Half of the greens were in back shape. The practice putting green was closed.

I really enjoy playing Troon courses, especially Talking Stick.

The course was dealing with the rain that occurred several days before. There were still areas underwater. The course was in decent shape the greens were bumpy and slow, Overall the course is playable.

This course is in great condition. The fairway grass was so nice I didn't want to step on it. There is only a handful of courses that have grass like this, which is expected for a Troon course. Everyone working here is super friendly from the golf club drop off to the pro shop to the ranger to the guy who cleaned my clubs at the end of the round. I like this course so much I will be back to play many times over. The pro shop guy and girl hooked me up with a troon card which is a cool thing. After you spend $500 you get a free round at any Troon course.

I was very pleased by the friendliness of the staff Many times at the higher end courses the staff acts like they could care less whether you play there or not. This is not the case at talking stick. From the guy who checks you in to the starters , the grounds crew and the marshalls were all super friendly and spent time shooting the breeze with you if so inclined.I also wanted to include Molly as being super nice. Overall a great experience.

took us three hours to play the front nine and we quit after 13. The rangers kept saying they were speeding up play, but nothing sped up. The fairways were in great shape, the greens not bad for summer.

Course was in good shape for the summer months. Pace of play was perfect. The only hang up is the lack of a signature hole or two. Just a basic desert course.

Good, played the north course several bunkers in play, mostly desert, no water in play.

as close to perfect as possilbe condition for summer time in the desert

It was slow play. we waiited on every shot the 2 groups in front us had players that should have been playing the jade tees, not the gold. Wish the Ranger would have stay with he group that was slowing us up to get them moving along.instead of asking them to pick it up.But none the less still one of the best courses in the valley and will continue to play.

Would very much like to have played the south course but that was undergoing maintainance and not available. Would play that next visit if its open.
My husband loved the course nice and open and very well maintained.
Lack of a Marshall on Tuesday to keep the game flowing waited around a bit longer than we would have liked,but overall not a bad pace.
Better pace on Wednesday and the Marshall jay was very nice.
All staff are an asset to this course thank you

Course was in good shape for summer...I don't think I'd have any interest in playing it again. Perhaps is was the disinterested attitude of the staff...Really didn't feel welcome.

We played the south course at Talking Stick last summer and were very impressed. This time we chose the north course with a little apprehension. Boy, were we wrong. Talking Stick North turned out to be just as exciting, just as much fun, and in great condition! Afternoon play was inexpensive and fast. Fees included unlimited range balls. Friendly staff and relaxing bar made our experience even better. I would recommend either course to any golfer, of any level, looking for a fun, affordable, challenging round of golf. Kudos to Talking Stick!

I did not complete my round. After a little over 1.5 hours to do the first 4 holes, and finding myself in a group that was the third group to tee off on the 5th hole, I asked for a rain check. They agreed to the rain check, but it was not a nice experience.

There is not signage from the 101 and Indian Bend, so head for the Casino but pass it and continue on to the dead end, turn left, take this to the club drop-off and parking lot. A driving range on site. The north course is wide, long and mostly flat, but the sand traps are challenging. Lots of green with the only brown being the desert. The fast greens are difficult to gauge. Take extra balls. A quick pace (without waiting), which was appreciated in the desert heat. A welcome beverage/food cart stopped by several times. No misters or GPS on the carts, although a cooler with ice is provided. The pro shop has tempting, current golf gear. Staff was amenable and pleasant. We opted for lunch at the course restaurant. Wonderful service, ample portions, delish food and refreshing ice tea.

The course is absolutely beautiful in perfect shape. The greens were fast but rolled true. I only saw 2 other foursomes during the entire round; it was like you owned the golf course. Having said that, the price was a little high ($89.00).

It started out very windy, but after wind died down, we enjoyed the course much more. I was extremely disappointed that throughout the entire 18 holes, we did not get a visit from the beverage cart. Was pretty hot, too. I was excited to say, though, that I got a hole in one on the 11th, much to my husband's surprise. They gave me a flag but did not have the option of buying a plaque so i could put it right by my husband's plaque at home. All in all, it was a fun day, even though the only refreshment we got was the water on the course that was lukewarm at best.

This is a well cared for golf course with greens at a Stemp of 10-11. Design is unique and I was surprised to find it is not by a renown architect. However, it plays like it was designed by Devlin/Von Hagge. Loved the par threes. Fair golf course not a lot of mystery as to where you need to hit the ball. Beautiful with fast pace of play we finished in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. A Phoenix must play course!
