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.

1st time here - loved it.

1st time here.

Only got to play because of golf now twi light special.

I so wish I could afford to play here all the time but that is not happening.

Driving range is nice.

Putting green is nice.

Course is gorgeous.

Some might say it is boring and holes all look alike though.

Fairways are huge - you can scatter it everywhere.

I do wish the carts had gps though - can’t have everything,

Just a fluke that no one in our group had a gps unit.

I highly recommend this place - bring your girlfriend Visa if you are paying full price though.

Course amenities inadequate..

Could have been useful knowing clubhouse was under renovation. No restaurant, washrooms in a trailer, limited stock in trailer pro shop.. very disappointing for first time playing here.. came here for wife’s birthday..8-(

Bunkers were terrible.. no fill.. hit bottom of bunkers on all shots.

Great value!

Had 7:18AM tee time…threesome, finished in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Other than the clubhouse construction, this is a great place to play. Nice wide fairways and well manicured. Due to early morning, the greens were a bit slow, but rolled great. Highly recommend.

Nice Track!

Really enjoyed the round…good value considering the prime time of year. Pace picked up as the round went; finished right at 4:20, the expected time. But…the Marshall must not understand golf…drove up while I was hitting a shot and continued talking on the walkie talkie and then accelerated on in the middle of my swing (I could care less, but a lot of guys would have been offended)…later in the round he pulled up while a partner was teeing off and proceeded to sit there with the “reverse” buzzer going off in his cart; we had to stop and ask him to shift into forward. He later said we needed to pick up the pace when we were waiting on the tee for the next group to finish on the green at a par 3! Comical!

The place is under construction, hence the 1-star for amenities. The guys in the pro shop were not friendly nor informative about the construction or the courses. All this said…I will go back as I really enjoyed the course and thought it was nicely manicured.

Course Is Worth Playing

Clubhouse is under construction, washrooms and food service are not great because of that. Driving range is over used, not a lot of grass to hit off. People practice chipping onto the practice green, potentially dangerous…the course is good and I will play it again!
