Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

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

Wouldn’t have expected a premium facility to not communicate it was a transition mess. Poor experience for Holiday Tradition because of no communication..

You're always hitting from grass here which is great after playing a dozen courses in the valley with tight fairways and desert runoffs. There's rough everywhere in case you miss the wide fairways.

This was my preferred side of the 2 tracks since there's doglegs and water comes into play on a few holes. If you enjoy hitting driver off the tee and don't have the best control with the driver, play here. 11 was a fun hole - it's a dogleg left with water running along the entire left side. 18 was a fun approach to a tight green with bunkers on the left and water on the right. There are deep bunkers on the sides of the greens of a few par 3's.

Sandwich house at the turn was great, really diverse menu instead of just hot dogs, but I didn't see any signs up on hole 8 or 9 to call in orders, might have been more of an after-round thing. The range before the round was grass not turf.

Staff everywhere was friendly and helpful. My group had slow golfers and we wound up 2 holes behind the group ahead of us at the turn, I informed the ranger of the situation at the turn and asked if we could split off into a twosome which he allowed. We were able to complete the back 9 in under 90 minutes as a result. Thank you.

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.

First time playing at Talking Stick. Nice course in great shape with consistent greens.

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.

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.

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.

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.
