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.

Always very enjoyable

Talking Stick is always a nice day of golf. Good value, conditions, range, pace of play and staff. Has never disappointed. I've played many courses in the area but always get a round in at talking Stick when in town. Even saw Charles Barkley on the range last visit, great guy.

Poor pace of play - 4.5 hour golf round...

Played great. Poor pace of play. Starter saw that the group in front of us played 25min for the first hole and assured us Ranger will keep up pace of play After the second Hole and additional 25 min waiting for the second hole my playing partner called the Pro Shop to get a Marshall to the group ahead of us. The Marshall came but never bothered to speed up the group ahead of us. My playing partner quit after 9 holes because he couldn't watch and wait any more. BTW on the 18th hole I waited on my teebox and the group ahead of me was still on the 18th teebox and I asked the Marshall if nobody is in front of the group ahead of them... He said the group ahead of them finished a while ago. HaHaHa Thank you for a not so enjoyable round.

Nice course. Great value for a weekend round

Course was in very good condition. Flat as a pancake and not extremely interesting layout. Range balls included. I would play again

Hot Deal Worth It

A wide open track but you need some previous play to know where to hit. Fun time. I found a Hot Deal in GN. Don’t know if I’d pay full freight. There’s better courses for the regular fee.

Sandy greens

Was supposed to go off on south course - greens were good but they put me on north course with sandy greens. Wait a few weeks to play.

Typical resort course

Not sure we would play again.

The court sent was very flat not very interesting.

The court se was in good shape but we we weren’t overwhelmed with the layout.

Got it on a golf now hot deal. So glad we didn’t pay full price.

Disappointed

We received an internet deal and were able to play the course for a very reasonable price...and maybe that is why the proshop was so flippant and unfreindly, but the boy at check in couldn't be bothered to greet us and came across as so entitled that we nearly bagged it before we started.

The starter was very nice and the course was in good shape but the pace was nearly 6 hours. On every hole except one we waited and on multiple holes there were two groups waiting while a third tee'd off.

For a "resort" the experience was terrible. AND they are completely under construction so you would think they would try to at least act appreciative of the patronage. It was disappointing and we will not be back nor will I recommend it as there are so many good to great courses in Scottsdale that appreciate the golfers.
