Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

I was surprised and quite pleased with the course conditions considering the volume of play this time of year. Fairways and rough appropriately trimmed and sufficiently watered. When in the fairway you can count on a good lie as grass is perfect length and divots are rare. A perfect amount of sand in each trap. Lots of wildlife on site. During our round we encountered coyotes, roadrunners, waterfowl, and an abundance of prairie rodents. Reading these greens is the toughest part of play. Unless your approach shot is inside of 15 feet, there is a fair chance you will experience more than one break per putt.

Construction around the facility is a slight distraction.

Overall… Gread expereince.

We enjoyed the day, course in great shape, pace of play wasn’t too bad. The gps on our cart never worked and no one was very concerned about correcting this. This didn’t detract us from having a nice round. Will play again

First time playing Talking Stick and thought all the amenities were excellent from the practice tees to the half way house. Too bad there was construction on the clubhouse.

Course is in very good shape. Greens ran true. Pace of play was around four and a half hours.

This is a fine, average course. Conditionss were good, but there is nothing special. Even in the Phoenix winter market, I don’t think it’s worth $200.

The greens are interesting, with any long putt likely to break more than 1 direction. A few holes have hidden hazards, so pay attention to the GPS.

Starter was friendly, and kept things on time. We finished in 4 hrs and 15 minutes, which is their suggested pace. I thought that was much too long, as we waited on nearly every shot.

Overall, like I said a fine average course. I would go back for $100 (in the winter) but not for $200.

Very disappointed in staff policy about being a single and riding in a cart alone, after paying $180 plus club rental $80 being told have to pair with another player or pay 25-30 cart fee is ludicrous, rates in AZ and Vegas are crazy, at least be more accommodating some what.

My brother and law and I had an amazing time playing our first round of desert golf. Course was in awesome shape given December. Location close to the casino made for a great day.

My wife and I booked this course on golf now while staying at the resort. I booked it well in advance and had a 1 pm start time. We got set up and proceeded to 1st hole. Bob the ranger was very helpful in explaining the course rule and giving a few tips regarding the course. He was very friendly. We went off as a threesome, but quickly became bogged down between holes. after almost two hours and only making it through 5 holes, Bob came by an offered us a full raincheck for the round due to the fact that an 80 person outing had gone out immediately before us. We accepted as we figured the raincheck could pay for our round we had scheduled for two days later on the other course. We left the course and I proceeded to speak to the assistant manager(Pete I believe). He informed me that rain-checks are the responsibility of Golf Now and he couldn't or wouldn't do anything to help me come to a resolution. HE seemed very smug and not at all interested in helping. His suggestion to go out and finish round was a joke. Bob the ranger was very apologetic and asked if I would like to play with him early in the morning the next day( unfortunately we had plans already). I proceeded to cancel my Thursday tee time. I was not about to give this course more money after being treated so poorly. I believe Golf Now was going to at least refund the 2nd tee time. The bag guys and other staff seemed very attentive and friendly. My wife and I were very excited to stay and play at Talking stick, but the golf experience was very negative.

The course was in great shape. Very busy and the round was very slow. Didn’t finish last two holes.
