Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Eighteen green Photo submitted by Rosey461 on 06/16/2014
Slowest play due to an outing - they said we could get our money back but had to contact GolfNow to do that.
Golf course would have given us our money back but said we had to go through GolfNow . I attempted to call GolfNow and was on hold for 1 hour and 25 minutes with no answer at all.
Not happy about this customer service.
Friendly layout in great shape
First time playing at Talking Stick. Nice course in great shape with consistent greens.
Fair
Construction on site so no clubhouse. No GPS on carts which at this price point is ridiculous. Course was in excellent condition as was pace of play.
Unexpected
This is a friendly course with wide fairways and forgiving rough. Entrance and parking lots are still under Cindy but no real issues
Overall 7out of 10.
Not worth the money for that course
Course was an amazing condition, but absolutely no challenge and not worth the price for that kind of layout. Also, you can find much better courses with better challenges for half of the price and also in amazing condition.
Talking Stick
The greens weren't ready for play and carts were only allowed on cart paths. Had I known, I wouldn't have booked the course. There are a lot of courses in the area that I would go and play, before I played here again.
Course is Ok
Layout is not conducive to carts on paths only rule. Spent a lot of time walking from cart to ball. Greens had lots of old ball marks. Clubhouse upgrades were being done so only available food was at pro-shop area and not set up at all well for after nine orders. Need some ready made snacks and sandwiches to keep things moving.
Average
Driving range is not great. Of course amenities are virtually non existent. Course layout is good though. Too many yahoos on the course made the pace slow.
Talking Stick South
Parking was difficult in temporary dirt lot with bag drop on the street next to 9th green. Everything else was nearly perfect, got off early, friendly staff, nice carts, good food service and course was in great condition.
Very Poor Temporary Setup
Checking in at the temporary “sandwich hut” was a disaster. Over 40 minutes in line in the direct sunlight with no shade available. Two single restrooms is far from sufficient enough for the amount of traffic. We missed any chance of warming up due to the unsatisfactory wait times. The course itself is in stellar shape but I simply cannot recommend the course to anyone until construction is complete.
