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.

No driving range in the early afternoon

I got there early to warm up, but they closed the driving range. I have to chip and putt for an hour and half to kill it!

Never again

Cart path only! And way too many people on the course! Had to wait on every shot and tee. Front nine was a little more than 2.5 hours. Left after nine!

Fair price for a resort style golf.

Decent course. . Played a few expensive courses prior to this last one of the vacation. Good deal for the money.

SLOW

Wow, took us just shy of 6 hours to play this course. While I understand that a Tournament went off ahead of us, this is still unacceptable. We finished our round in the dark after teeing off at 12:45. Should at the least give us a partial refund on golf now .

Over priced

Course was in great shape. Over priced especially since there is no GPS on the carts. They ought to use 45 degrees on the fairways instead of cart path only this time of year. It would benefit the pace of play by speeding up pace of play.

Pace of Play

The staff were friendly and we enjoyed the course layout even as they were preparing for over seeding. Pace of play was horrible. We waited every single hole and didn’t see one marshall. We felt like it was a golf ‘factory’ where they were getting as many green fees as possible regardless of how it affected quality or pace of play. Disappointing!

Dead Cart

Our cart died and we walked almost 2 holes before a new cart arrived. Staff in the proshop gave a half way apology and not even a small refund. For the price one has to pay to play this course in an area of many top quality courses we found that quite disappointing.

Nice Course

Not too bad for a course that was definitely getting ready to go through their over seeding season. Would have been better value for a reduced fee though.
