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.

No practice range warm up here between 1-3PM Mondays & Thursdays

Got to the course about an hour and a half early to warm up on the range, but they have scheduled maintenance as indicated in the Review Title. I expressed my disappointment to the Pro Shop clerk and he said he would reach out to golf now and let them know. In case that communication also does not occur, you have my alert. Practice balls were listed on your site at the time of booking, but obviously were not provided due to closure of the range.

Nice layout

This was a nice course but with cart path only it made for a very long round and not a real enjoyable round. This is the only course that we have played that was cart path only and l’m not sure why they couldn’t have made it 90 degrees like the other courses have done.

Great course. Annoying In-Cart Ads

It's been a while since I played the North Course and shot my best round ever so I had a good day. However, the ads that constantly play on the golf cart GPS unit were extremely distracting and annoying because you can't completely turn the volume down or turn the ads off. I come to the course to hear nature and talk with my friends while trying to improve my game. Otherwise, this is a great course for beginners as it's fairly flat and open. Lower handicaps can also play it long and get strategic.
