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.

Sorry guys but this course is not worth the ticket price.

Bland golf course, when there are so many other choices, the price for this course is wrong

Cozy

At 11 we counted 4 groups on the box. A marshal would me nice. I never mind them saying - catch up or move up .

200$ per person in perfect weather perfect course is very worth it .

But i wouldn’t play for free when the management on the course can’t help out .

- and I know I’m old because we still finished in 4 hours.

Just a fluke ..

Will be back!

It was my second time in Scottsdale, and first time playing this course. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Challenging but fair. The course slowed down on a few holes, but overall pace of play was good. We got a “hot deal” so the value was definitely there. We’ll be back!

Very slow play

Unable to play 18 holes that were paid for. Waiting 5 to 10 minutes between shots is unacceptable.

No marshal to help with slow play

No cart until 10 minutes before tee time, had to carry golf bag to the range. Pace of play so slow we had to wait 5 to minutes between shots. Paid for 18 holes and only managed to get 15 in before dark. If you’re going to change for 18 holes should be able to get them in.

Way to pricey

This would of been fine for about 80-90 bucks. But for 220 it was way way over priced. It was just a straight forward course with zero memorable holes. I expect a lot more of that for this price point. Will never come back.

DO NOT PLAY HERE

I had a 150 tee time. Should have been done by 6 615. By 640 it was to dark to finish and I was only on the 13th hole. The pace of play was horrible. I called in and they said there was nothing they could do. Almost everyone play was floorlicking drunk. It was more of a party happening all around me. People swearing and very loud music. The greens and the driving rang e were in hollible shape. I was excited to play this course as the photos look amazing. Wrong! I wish I had looked at all the reviews first. Stay away.

Very nice place to golf!

The course was very nice-great grass to play on. Weather was wonderful. It is a good course to enjoy with very few hills or gullies. No lost balls, good for every level of play.

Wish it was Talking stick of old.....

Check staff was not great. Hotdog out of the warming tray sucked. Then pace of play was horrible. So slow the 4 some behind us had two quit and they joined us. Didnt see a ranger all day, and only saw the cart girl one time in almost 5 hours. Bummed out about this, i used to love this place.
