Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

Overall a nice course and bar / restaurant staff were great.

Sadly really really poor experience with on course attendant. Pave of play is important, but being told to hurry up in a sub 4 hour round, cart path only, and senior tees often nearing 400 yards was sadly disappointing. If you are cart path only and have seniors you cannot expect them to play 3 hour rounds of golf with cart path -

Seriously poor course setup and attitude. We played ready golf but were chastised - don’t play here if it’s cart path - you get ZERO sympathy and total lack of golf knowledge from course Marshall.

O’odham is definitely a less challenging and more fun course to play in my opinion. Piipash is a bit more compact, holes are more difficult in regard to size of area for ball to land in play.

It’s a beautiful course and a beautiful experience. Very fun. Leave plenty of time for a full 4 person group to finish 18 holes.

Great staff and amenities. Course played well and was in very good shape. Driving range closed for seasonal overseed, it’s my personal curse that all first time visits have closed ranges.

Championship course, great views, friendly staff. Must play when in The Valley.

I know after Covid each golfer had their own cart. Not sure when Talking Stick changed but I believe you need to be respectful that if someone wants their own cart you should allow them to have one just like you have in the past. You've had enough carts in the past. I'm sure I'm not alone but I do not appreciate golfing with someone I don't know drinking a lot and vaping next to me while we I'm in the cart.

Course is in great shape and brand new clubhouse. Friendly staff and beer cart person.

Will definitely play here again.

Overall, the course was well maintained and easy to access. The tee boxes and fairways were well watered and green. The greens were drier and the dirt harder than the rest of the course. The ball would frequently roll off the back of the green instead of biting. We had to aim for the ball to land prior to the green then hope it would hold on the greens. Pace of play was ok, but could have been better. The marshal should have sped up the group ahead, but just drove past them each time. The layout is flat and honestly, a bit boring. Felt like a well watered muni course.

Of all the courses we played in this area, I wouldn’t pick this one to play again.

First time here. Course plays long, greens were very firm and wouldn’t really hold a shot. But greens rolled nicely. Course was nicely cut and green considering it’s summer. Was a real hot day with a lot of players. Kudos to Scott for bringing water around a couple of times. Very nice cart lady too. Had a great talk with Harold & Rich in the Pro Shop, and Jim the starter got us out a little early. The grille afterward was excellent, especially the salmon glazed salad. Would play and eat here again. Thank you!

Talking stick is always a good summer course. Not many courses will be in better condition this time of year.

Great Marshall. A monsoon was brewing and the Marshall did a great job of letting us know what was ahead for us in terms of the storm. Very friendly staff from the club house to the cart barn to the bartender.

We were late 5 mins and were told we couldn’t play. Then, we were also told we don’t qualify for the tribal discount because we booked through a different party and had to submit it 3 days in advance. So don’t recommend this place, very poor customer service.

Great course! The pace of play was excellent. Love the open fairways.
