Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

Waited 10-14 minutes on tee box’s 8-18 to tee off. I spoke with ranger about pace of play. He looked at me and drove off. Course was nothing special. All the holes are routine. .

The staff were all very friendly and accommodating.

This was a great course to begin this season on as was the case with me here. Not too bad on the distance, hardly any forced carries. Well, quick enough, the greens were not terribly fast or sloppy.

Played the piipaash course at the end of January. The course was in excellent condition and played very good. Greens, fairways and tee decks were all exceptional. Next golf trip will definitely be coming back.

We were 50 minutes (and I mean 50 minutes) late in finishing our 10:45 am start time. I have.never seen a course so slow in my entire life and I’m 79 years old.

Play paapaish course was in great shape greens were very firm and fast. Challenging to land an approach shot on but fun to putt. 100 would play again

The greens were fast and as hard as hitting on concrete. I hit a perfect sand wedge from 80 yards. It hit a foot in front of the pin and never left a divot and rolled out 34 feet. It should have stopped around two or three feet from the hole. There was nothing but dirt in the sand traps and it was only about and 1/8 inch deep. Impossible to hit a good sand shot and if you happen to land where you wanted it to, it almost always ran out 40 or 50 feet past the pin for a total of 100 feet in one case.and in another case all the way across the green and down the hill on the other side into a pond. For a resort course and the money we paid it was a major disappointment. I am and have been over 40 years a single digit handicap and I worked in the business for a number of years after I retired. I've played a handful of US open courses including Pebble Beach, Torry Pines and The Woodlands in Texas, so I know what a good golf course should look like.

Loved the piipaash course, great condition, greeens were well hydrated and played a bit fast. Course layout was great, weather also great. Great driving range with as many balls as you want to hit before your round. Staff and starter very friendly, will definitely be back to play again.

Great course! Had a BLAST, all the course staff were super friendly would definitely play here again! Greens were super fast but thoroughly enjoyed the track! Watch out for the course coyotes!

Played the piipaash course today. The course was in excellent condition and played very good. Was very happy with the golf, unfortunately staff at the course put my golf bag on the cart and didn’t strap it in properly and my bag feel off the cart resulting in my driver shaft breaking in half. Staff at the pro shop pretended to care and made it seem like they were going to do something about the broken club and just toyed around with me. I ended up waiting for a couple hours after the round for them to do absolutely nothing about it. Extremely poor customer service. Will unfortunately never go back and never recommend anyone to go based on how they handled the situation. A simple no I’m sorry or free item from the pro shop would have made me okay with it. Instead they questioned if I saw the bag fall off the cart.

Staff and the course are very nice, it is the third time that I have played at Talkingstick while out here on vacation. My biggest gripe about the course is that there’s not a flat, level put on the entire course. And, unfortunately, I was paired with a racist, opinionated, loudmouth person. He wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts and opinions on just about any controversial subject. I play as a single all winter while on vacation and I can honestly say this is the first time that I almost walked off the course because he made my round so miserable. Maybe that also taint my view of not giving you excellent on everything.

Very impresses with the course. Everything was in great shape. The rough was plush and the greens were in nice shape.

The cost of golf here and Phoenix in General is “Hoghway Robbery”. But we are amongst those that are stupid enough to pay what clubs are asking for. Actually on this day we payed $110 which is fair value for the layout and condition of this golf course. I’m seeing green fees over $260 for this place on Golf Now. Absolutely ridiculous.

The layout is just ok and the conditions are just ok. I guarantee you that the people making the money and running the place know that they are taking advantage of the fools willing to pay such a price for golf here.
