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.

Course is great but can be a mess there

Love this course but unfortunately they love to the close the range at the busiest times. They stuff a lot of tee times in and it was very very slow. It is always in great condition though.

Very nice course

This course has a North and South course. We played the north course. The north course is a links style course but holes are reasonably close together most times with a bit of playable rough between adjacent hole fairways. Greens very tight and most shots even elevated will roll out, Overall It’s a very nice course, great condition and staff excellent. Price value in December was good but prices for Phoenix courses increase greatly during March which is spring training time so be ready to pay high prices.
