Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

We payed $230 and the guys golfing with us bought the Talking Stick Golf Card for $69 and two plAyers can use it and they payed $99 on a Friday. Course was ok, played in 4 hours.

We had a tee time on 2/5/21 at 846am. We had travel issues with a couple players and called Talking Stick at 804am. We were transferred to the head pro/assistant pro as the Staff worker didn’t have authority so we were transferred to explain the situation. The agreed to waive the “No Show Fee” and grant an exception, very gracious at the time. HOWEVER, at 4pm, GolfNow emailed a notice saying the course had authorized the Fee $772 for 3 players! This was extremely disappointing on both GolfNow and the course as the director of golf was not communicated our prior conversation that morning and the exception they had agreed to earlier that morning! I have emailed the Director of Golf at Talking Stick AND GolfNow. Neither have replied and the charge is on my account. My next step if this is not corrected by next week will be to report both GolfNow and Talking Stick to the BBB and dispute the GolfNow charges on my credit card. While we appreciated the intent of Talking Stick to accommodate based on the AM conversation Shame on you both for the poor communication and not following thru. I also spoke to Austin later that day in the Golf Shop after this all transpired to get direct email of the director of Golf who has still not responded to my email to correct the situation. See the screenshots below. Still no return email OR phone call from Golf Now or Talking Stick and likely have to file a dispute with my credit card or take this to the BBB. Ugh

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

Fairways and bunkers well kept

Greens rolled true and were in great shape

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 ..

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!

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

Only finished 12 hole before it started getting dark. 2:26pm tee time for 4

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just not a fan of waiting on every single shot. Makes for a long day
