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.

Fantastic

Loved the piipaash course, great condition, greeens were well hydrated and played a bit fast. Course layout was great, weather also great. Great driving range with as many balls as you want to hit before your round. Staff and starter very friendly, will definitely be back to play again.

Poor customer service after a great day of golf.

Played the piipaash course today. The course was in excellent condition and played very good. Was very happy with the golf, unfortunately staff at the course put my golf bag on the cart and didn’t strap it in properly and my bag feel off the cart resulting in my driver shaft breaking in half. Staff at the pro shop pretended to care and made it seem like they were going to do something about the broken club and just toyed around with me. I ended up waiting for a couple hours after the round for them to do absolutely nothing about it. Extremely poor customer service. Will unfortunately never go back and never recommend anyone to go based on how they handled the situation. A simple no I’m sorry or free item from the pro shop would have made me okay with it. Instead they questioned if I saw the bag fall off the cart.

Pairing player

Staff and the course are very nice, it is the third time that I have played at Talkingstick while out here on vacation. My biggest gripe about the course is that there’s not a flat, level put on the entire course. And, unfortunately, I was paired with a racist, opinionated, loudmouth person. He wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts and opinions on just about any controversial subject. I play as a single all winter while on vacation and I can honestly say this is the first time that I almost walked off the course because he made my round so miserable. Maybe that also taint my view of not giving you excellent on everything.

Christmas Day Golf

The cost of golf here and Phoenix in General is “Hoghway Robbery”. But we are amongst those that are stupid enough to pay what clubs are asking for. Actually on this day we payed $110 which is fair value for the layout and condition of this golf course. I’m seeing green fees over $260 for this place on Golf Now. Absolutely ridiculous.

The layout is just ok and the conditions are just ok. I guarantee you that the people making the money and running the place know that they are taking advantage of the fools willing to pay such a price for golf here.

Course Oversold

We called Talking Stick in AM to book a mid afternoon tee time. From the onset the play was slow and we could see that there was a group on every hole. Ranger seemed to ignore this dilemma. Only communication we received from ranger was to insure cart was returned by 535 PM before darkness fell.

Halfway house was closed by time we reached in spite of starters representation that it would be open.

Course was in great shape but hard to enjoy when you had to wait to hit every shot. I believe the course was oversold and our experience could have been prevented

Great Day at Talking Stick

Great round on the Piipash course. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Course was perfectly maintained - greens rolling nicely, bunkers in great shape, fairways perfectly manicured. The only downside is a somewhat flat layout and lack of variation among holes. Neither takes away from the enjoyment of the round. I will be back 100%!

First time playing here, but definitely not the last.

This was our first time playing here, we played the Piipaash course. The staff was extremely friendly and the course was in great condition, maybe the best I’ve ever played.

I really liked the layout and it is surrounded byi some great natural terrain and the course was beautiful.

I try to play many different courses but this is one I’d love to come back and play.

Always enjoy playing here but with the amount of rain it was cart path only and the fairways were pretty sloppy, course should have reduced the green fees to reflect the overall course conditions.

Golfers should be made aware of (cartpath only)

Golfers should be made aware of (cartpath only) restriction when they attempt to schedule their tee time, Not after they arrive and begin to tee off😳 this makes it really tough for the senior golfer.

Ranger checked in on first few holes in front nine then never saw him

Greens in good condition but bunkers solid after rain
