Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

Great pace of play, you get a lot of roll out of your ball, greens perfect

The greens were recently aerated and they did not roll very well. Very slow and bouncy! For $80+, I expected a better experience. Fairways were in good shape for this time of year. Sand traps were in good shape.

I have played this course before and really enjoyed it.

Course is great staff was awesome just wish they had some coolers out at the holes, cart girl only came by once and snack shack was closed by like 4

I appreciated the friendliness of all the staff and the forgiving course layout. A fun round for the money.

GolfNow doesn’t tell you they close their range at 1:30pm. was the only reason I booked this last minute round because it said practice balls included. Get there and can’t warm up? Pretty insane on a golf course not exactly charging cheap prices. I will say; I got a hot deal on golf now for 50 bucks, and that’s exactly what this course should be. If I paid 150 here I would be so upset

On a fairly wide open afternoon I booked a round as a single. That is apparently unacceptable. So I had to wait until the starter could find another person to play with me. Ok - very bad start as I would have gone somewhere else had I known this was the policy. Luckily, however, my new

Partner was a very interesting guy of roughly my the same

Handicap. The course is billed as a “links” course. But after probably 60 rounds in Ireland, England and Scotland- that is nonsense. The course is very flat - pretty easy and fairly repetitive. It is though very pleasant and actually pretty fun. So all-in-all things were looking pretty good when we were headed to the parking lot (which you of course are not allowed to enter). After tipping and carrying my bag up the stairs to bag drop, I noticed that one of my expensive, custom made leather head covers was missing. Back to the guy cleaning clubs who said he distinctively remembered putting the cover on a club. But he said he was in a hurry and didn’t remember which club. It was - as you might expect -‘my new “Partner”’ who was long gone. No apology and no regret. Just a stupid job. The staff in the pro shop was just the same. “Duh- huh”. I even tried to order a new one $$$$ which is more than the cost of the round. But they are

Not made anymore. I guess I will get the pleasure of shopping for something new to remember not to book Talking Stick again

Like the courses on our reservations in Washington this one is exceptional. since 150 is the standard in Az. now a days, this course is hard to beat.

since all courses in the scottsdale area are all around 150, this is a fantastic course. fairways are fairly wide and fairways and greens are excellent.

It was my first time playing this course. I enjoyed the layout but the greens were lightning fast and took quite a few holes to get used too. They had recently been aerated but they recovered well.

I had only heard good things about this course. It was average. I played with a couple great guys so that made the day. However, the pro shop attendant needs some work on customer service as both the people checking in in front of me and myself were left feeling like he just wanted us out of his pro shop and he would rather us not buy anything. Weirdest experience I’ve ever had in a resort pro shop.

Unfortunately that’s going to be the impression that I leave Talking Stick with.
