Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

About
The Talking Stick Golf Club, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, offers two uniquely different courses that each offer many options according to your playing skill. The Piipaash course (previously known as South at Talking Stick Golf Club), with its tree-lined fairways and raised greens defended at the sides offers a more straightforward style of play than the O'odham Course (formerly known as North at Talking Stick Golf Club).
A round of golf on the Piipaash Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club kicks off on a par-4 hole that measures 405 yards from the Black tees. Three long par-5 holes ensures that power golfers will get their kicks, with the fifth hole coming in at 516 yards, the 1fourth measuring 541 and the 16th playing to 548. The round of golf concludes on a relatively shorter par 4 that measures 323 yards.
After a round of golf on the North Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club, head back to the Wildhorse Grille for drinks and a bite to eat.

Maintained Greens
Greens and fairways are in really great shape., although the greens are really fast.
Disappointing
The course does not live up to expectations. Driving range is in very poor condition. Tee boxes are also very poor. Very slow play. Duck crap is everywhere. No rangers to keep pace of play. Underwhelmed.
Average course
Tee off @ 1:54pm, 20 minutes late, made turn @ 4:35. So finished thru 16 @ Dark. So the 4:15 pace is a little off.
Please fix your Divits when you play golf.
Bag drop took my bag never told me where to go, waited 10 minutes to pay no one there, finished tipped 5.00 cleaned 2 clubs never asked if I wanted my bag returned to bag drop I had to carry bag out to car
Enjoyable Day
Course was in great shape and played with another twosome that were great. Only issue is the group either 1 or two in front of us was pretty slow and made the back nine take longer than it should have.
Great course, perfect day
Enjoyed the fair challenge, desert landscape, lots of bunkers to navigate. Pace was slow (5 hours) but we just barely finished our round before sunset. Every club in the bag a requirement.
Bring your sand wedge and lob wedge
this is a technical review about game play, mostly.
The courses is in good shape, cut low with soft fairways and it was a little wet for late afternoon.
Nearly every green is elevated and few are smallish with undulation. The breaks are tricky because of the valley. By hole 17 you should have it figured out. On approach If you miss, miss short because pin high left or right or off the back means a flop shot or sand shot to get up and down. The course is cut snug so if you have bad hands you will duff a couple, blade one or two and eventually get a couple right.
if you struggle with chipping and popping little shots up and down, this will require an extra beer or two to keep you from snapping your wedge in half.
Now here is the good part. If you can get off the tee, let it all hang out because this track is pretty wide open.
The kid and I shoot in the mid 90s, but this one left a mark. We will skip the range and chip and putt next time.
All kidding aside. The staff is great, the course is in good shape. if you are accurate with your irons, you will score.
That is all
GP
Two courses for variety. Usually very busy but they handle well most days. For the price you get Johnny 6 pack golfers but that’s the package.
Great course, Great Condition
Visiting Scottsdale on vacation. Staff was very helpful and very friendly. Mike in the cart barn helped me to locate my clubs and set me up with a cart after my golf bag was misplaced. Really enjoyed the course and layout. Challenging course. Fairways were very forgiving for errant shots.
