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.

Great condition and no holdups but lack of drink carts

The course was in great condition and we rarely had to wait even a short time before teeing off at each hole. Only negative I can think was we only saw the food and drink cart twice in the round which would’ve been fine but the water coolers around the course were running out.

Staff was down right rude. Pace of play was pathetic at best. On course amenities were terrible.

I will not ever recommend this facility to anyone I like .

Talking Stick, Scottsdale, AZ

Played with 3 friends. Found the course in very good condition and challenging but fun. Only concern was that the yardages were not readily visible and you have to backtrack about 100 yards on the 15th hole to get to the 16th tee. Overall a great experience and would play there I again.

Immaculate

Course is in fantastic shape, and the greens were absolute perfection. When these greens are quick the course becomes fairly difficult. The fairways are the size of runways but the challenge comes from the second shot on in. If your irons aren’t dialed in, don’t miss in the correct spots, or your short game is in a bad place, it could be a frustrating day. Also, it’s always going to be a bit breezy, which makes it that much more challenging.

Rookie player

Have heard about this track for eons, finally decided to take the leap. Why did I wait this long??

First rate FREE range balls hitting off turf. Putting green is huge and actually matched course conditions. Fairways in great shape, traps need sand as they are baked...and I found too many of them! Greens roll true and we're consistent in speed.
