Course Highlights
The Piipaash course consistently impresses with fast greens, manicured fairways, and well-kept bunkers that reward focused play. Exceptionally friendly staff, a well-stocked driving range, and strong overall value make this a compelling booking.

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.

Great greens

Course is in good condition , no real issues with layout but it’s pretty straightforward and not any real memorable holes. The greens are great and very hard to read with interesting slopes and pin positions which made it very fun to play.

not worth the money

the course was very average for Phoenix/Scottsdale and certainly not worth the $114 that I paid.

Not worth the price

This course is grossly overpriced! As a local, paying in excess of $105 for a round here is idiotic. The course is just OK, many others in Phoenix are much better and those that are a littlest charge a lot less than this course does. I think they’re overpriced to get the visitors money and to give the snowbirds a sense of a golf resort when in fact the course is really only mediocre.

A little slow

I enjoyed the course. Easy layout but greens can run a little fast. The only problem we had was that we waited on every hole. The group in front of us waited every hole as well. I would definitely play here again. Just need someone to push the slow players.

No driving range

Whoever is in charge of management should be fired. No driving range from 1 to 3. Doesn't have anything about this at time of booking and nothing was said when we checked in. Very stupid time to close and this just shows what is good for Management goes with no thought about your customers. There was 4 of us and none of us will be booking here again. We will all be passing this on. Terrible customer service

Great value for a Scottsdale course on TeeOff

Great course and value. Course was in very good shape for November. Only disappointment is their policy for closing the range between 1:00-3:00 pm, especially when you have a 2:00pm tee time.

Thank you!

It’s great to golf where you feel appreciated. From the golf shop, to starter, to beverage cart, to halfway house, to cart return, everyone was warm and welcoming! The course was in nice shape too! Well done!
