Course Highlights
The Piipaash course consistently impresses with fast greens, manicured fairways, and well-kept bunkers that reward focused play. Exceptionally friendly staff, a well-stocked driving range, and strong overall value make this a compelling booking.

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.

Good Course - forgiving layout but long

The course was in good shape and the pace of play was fine about 4 hours. As most AZ courses are expensive during the peak spring season. I think it would be a better value around $150.

One of the worst experiences ever

From the start of the round till the end the threesome in front of us was extremely slow and drinking. No one ever came out to get them to play faster. When we checked in the clubhouse said we should have no issue with finishing but we only completed 16 holes. When we returned our carts in the dark the staff did not help with anything. Three people walking around and one person counting his money who refused to help and said the clubhouse was closed and there was nowhere to complain after I told him what happened. Extremely disappointing when you pay to golf a nice course and this is the experience you have

Course was nice, but I would not pay $320 to play. We did a $100 for all the holes you can play and that seemed like a good price to get 11-15 holes in

Nice Track

The course was in very good condition. I found the greens to roll true and fairly quick. The bunkers were plentiful and a challenge to hit out of with high lips. Clubhouse staff and starter were very friendly and knowledgeable.

If I return the Scottsdale, I would book a tee time

here.

Poor pace of play. Rangers did nothing.

Waited 10-14 minutes on tee box’s 8-18 to tee off. I spoke with ranger about pace of play. He looked at me and drove off. Course was nothing special. All the holes are routine. .
