The Talking Stick Golf Club, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, offers two uniquely different courses that each offer many options according to your playing skill. The Piipaash course (previously known as South at Talking Stick Golf Club), with its tree-lined fairways and raised greens defended at the sides offers a more straightforward style of play than the O'odham Course (formerly known as North at Talking Stick Golf Club).

A round of golf on the Piipaash Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club kicks off on a par-4 hole that measures 405 yards from the Black tees. Three long par-5 holes ensures that power golfers will get their kicks, with the fifth hole coming in at 516 yards, the 1fourth measuring 541 and the 16th playing to 548. The round of golf concludes on a relatively shorter par 4 that measures 323 yards.

After a round of golf on the North Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club, head back to the Wildhorse Grille for drinks and a bite to eat.

Course is Ok

Layout is not conducive to carts on paths only rule. Spent a lot of time walking from cart to ball. Greens had lots of old ball marks. Clubhouse upgrades were being done so only available food was at pro-shop area and not set up at all well for after nine orders. Need some ready made snacks and sandwiches to keep things moving.

Driving range is not great. Of course amenities are virtually non existent. Course layout is good though. Too many yahoos on the course made the pace slow.

Talking Stick South

Parking was difficult in temporary dirt lot with bag drop on the street next to 9th green. Everything else was nearly perfect, got off early, friendly staff, nice carts, good food service and course was in great condition.

Very Poor Temporary Setup

Checking in at the temporary “sandwich hut” was a disaster. Over 40 minutes in line in the direct sunlight with no shade available. Two single restrooms is far from sufficient enough for the amount of traffic. We missed any chance of warming up due to the unsatisfactory wait times. The course itself is in stellar shape but I simply cannot recommend the course to anyone until construction is complete.

Cart path only was no fun

If you play during overseed, carry or rent a trolley. We had a cart and walked farther than our partners who used trolleys.

Miss lend

I would not waste your money on this course. It is a resort type of course wide fairway and no personality. Also, there was no notice that they had the driving range and putting green closed. For the money I paid everything should have been top notch.

Staff professionalism needs help!

Good golf day today despite the rude and unfriendly Starter! Not sure why, but NOT one of the staff including cart and range as well as the proshop staff were smiling or friendly. Clubhouse and all areas of parking are under contstruction and the only facility up and running was the snack shack which is where the makeshift proshop is set up. Course was still, however in great condition, greens and fairways were the best part. Bunkers need some more sand but overall were in average and playable condition. I would advise the Head Pro and owners to re-evaluate all staff positions and/or make them go through training to become more attentive and professional to the golf patrons who are paying a lot of money to golf at their golf course. With all of the choices for golf competing with this golf course I would say on the whole the course and staff combined get 2.5 stars :(

Mostly good.

Greens recently aerated so did not roll true. Course looked like it needed water. But to be fair it is August in Arizona so a little dry looking could be expected

South Course

This course is long and wide open. The fairways and greens are very well maintained. I found it to be very forgiving allowing a chance to recover from an errant shot. Check out their player development program for very reasonable green fees late in the day when it gets cooler in the fall. Beautiful sunsets. People are very gracious. Can’t wait to see the new club house once completed. Respectfully.
