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.

Not a good value for the money

We played the south course and although it's a decent course, just not a good value for the money.

The Grill

Disappointed in the clubhouse and the restaurant. Not sure if it is temporary but that is what it seems. Also, when I finished at around 5:00 the grill was closed up and couldn't even stop on for a beverage

Very very disappointed

First of all, it says nothing on the website or when you book it that it is under construction. The golf clubhouse was on some fold out chairs and garbage picnic tables. They had the kitchen cooking out of a trailer and porta potties for us to use we seen the car girl once in 4 1/2 hours For $250 per player at $1000 round the layout and the condition of the course was equal to any of the Suncity courses I would definitely for this price never play this course again and by the time we got to the 17th hole. It was dark out and we weren’t able to finish , very very disappointed for what the website shows the course looks like and what it really looks like. I was very disappointed on top of having to sit in the parking lot with all the construction with their makeshift clubhouse.

18 HOLES

GOOD COURSE, GOOD SHAPE. Starter was able to slip me as single out 1/2 earlier than my tee time thus I was able to play all 18 holes. Otherwise no way. They are remolding clubhouse so not good after golf amenities. The price of progress. Too pricy like all the courses in Arizona. This is peak time but since covid it always seems to be "peak time " of year.

Expected Incredible Course for the price

Was disappointed, quite over-priced for an average course in okay condition (and I paid a discounted price). The play was slow on the 2nd 9 holes too. Would only return if round was greatly discounted.

A great deal of construction in process. Temporary bathroom and pro shop, and eating facilities. Seems like the things should be mentioned, especially since they are going to be in this condition for more than a year. (based on an employee comment). Carts were in poor condition. As a policy, Golf Now should be highlighted where the carts are equipped with GPS.

Decent course but golf carts poop out!

The course is fine and would make for a fun round for most anyone. Challenging but not so much. Pace of play good but not perfect. Diversity of holes good but not great. However ... many of the golf carts don't have the juice to make for a complete round! I had to push my cart back to the clubhouse from the 15th hole. The battery had a little charge left so that helped. But we wouldn't have made it if I hadn't pushed the cart back! I want to say that I would definitely play the course again if I have the chance. But when I returned the cart, I got no considerations -- just the comment that this happens to many here! Very disappointed.

Not worth it

Fairways were beat up in a lot of places and pretty much every green was full of divots and pock marks. To pay the December rate and have a blah layout combined with conditions and slow play I won’t be back. I’ve played many AZ courses when I visit and played better courses for the same or less money. Don’t waste your time.

Beautifully maintained

Of the seven courses that we visited, this was the greenest. It is beautifully maintained. The fairways were very large and pace of play was regular. The staff were really friendly and organized. We would definitely return to play.
