Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

~$100 to tee off after 3pm. Appropriate value for the course at this time of year. Good greens and fairways. Pace of play was pretty much exactly 4 hours. $5-$7 for a beer, which is reasonable. The greens/pins were fun but thought the layout was, overall, a little plain. I would not go out of my way to play it again, but i’d still recommend it if you’re in the area.

This was a nice course, but I don’t know that it was as nice as I would hope for what they charge. But that’s Arizona in March I guess. There were a couple holes that I felt were a little unfair in terms of balls landing on the green or in the fairway and rolling off into sand or water. Golf is hard enough as is. If you can land your ball on the green or fairway, I understand it rolling into the fringe or rough, but it shouldn’t roll into a hazard. Otherwise it was a good 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.
