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.

Open Fairways and flat terrain

The coarse was well maintained but not too challenging. Good for beginners and amateurs.

A bit boring

While the course was in good condition and the greens were great, the layout was a bit monotonous.

The Course was in great condition.

The course was great. However, the par 4's seemed extra long compared to some courses. Especially at our age and playing the Gold T's.

It seems like the ladies T's could have been moved up some and the Green T's could have been the senior T's

Everything else was really great and next year we will look at your card when we are here.

Great course

Most everything about this course was awesome. What was not awesome is the green-side bunkers. Most everyone is overwatered and not broken up by raking and many had very little sand. I would think a course of this level would better take care of their bunkers. Additionally, the greens on the back nine were very beat up. Granted, we played at the end of the day but they were hacked up. But honestly, great course and I will be back!

Thunderstruck

Boys trip to AZ, scheduled Talking stick GC online. For what we saw of the course, it was in decent shape. Fast greens, nice bunkers, full fairways.

Played 7 holes and a lightning storm rolled in on us. No horn or siren from the pro shop, so we continued to play through the 40 mph wind, rain and lightning..

On the 9th hole, the golf cart quit on us and when we called the pro shop, they were surprised our group was still out there. We decided to go in and we asked for a credit to play the remaining 9 at a later date. We were told no, because I had paid on Golf Now and they couldn't credit us or get us in on another date during our trip. Seems like public safety and customer satisfaction was not a priority to the course. May not come back in the future.

Nice facility. Good for your golf ego

Conditions were great. Greens consistent. It’s very wide open so you can get after the driver here. Some interesting holes but not a lot of creativity in the layout. Coldest draft beer ever in the lounge! Kudos!

Unfriendly Ranger...Rapid Pace of Play

First time playing course...finished front nine under two hours. Ranger met us on 10th tee box and told us we needed to speed our pace or let other groups behind us play through?! He was both sarcastic and belligerent. By the 12 hole we were stacked 5 groups deep! Felt like we were being herded...like he wanted us to play sprint golf. Didn't feel like we could pause for restroom break or a beverage...that we would be holding up play. The round was a blur. Out of five rounds we played while there, this one was by far the most expensive and least enjoyable. Staff training with a PR component would be my suggestion. I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears...what a waste of time and $$$!!
