Course Highlights
The Piipaash course consistently impresses with fast greens, manicured fairways, and well-kept bunkers that reward focused play. Exceptionally friendly staff, a well-stocked driving range, and strong overall value make this a compelling booking.

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.

Good condition/slow

Paste of play in afternoon is bad. As many as 4 groups on same hold. No cart’s available till right up to tee time. Appear to be overbooking. More time between times would help

Talking Stick - nice but not exciting.

Course very playable and in great condition. Nice wide fairways. Greens rock hard taking getting used to. Many par-4’s very similar: Driver/7-iron, repeat. Layout level with little significant elevation change. Large driving range.

Garbage course

They let film crews in to make tiktok videos during prime tee times. Parking lot jam packed and film crew took up over 50 parking spots. Total joke!

Overrated

The course was congested and Talking Stick let some TikTok guy film tiktok videos which took nearly half the parking lot because of the film crew and staff. Probably over 20 people in total. I truly looked like they were filming a movie. The only reason I know it was TikTok was I have seen the guy before. I am old enough to remember when tiktoks were phone recordings. This was a full blown film crew, no iphone cameras. Anyway, overpriced and slow play. Course is average.
