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.

Spring Showers

Played course many times over the years always in the "best" shape. Most courses on Rez are. Great expansion of the clubhouse grill with a large expansion of outdoor patio area with firepit overlooking the course. But they close to early. They really need to add a chipping area to kick it up a level.

Not a good experience

It was your typical resort golf course! Was there at 6:50 for a 730 tee time, The bag staff cart guy was very rude and unprofessional. The driving range was not set up until 720.! To cap it off, my threesome was sent out behind a foursome of employees who did not let us play through and it took us five hours to get around this golf course I called the pro shop and never saw a Ranger or cart girl the entire day
