Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

The greens were fast and as hard as hitting on concrete. I hit a perfect sand wedge from 80 yards. It hit a foot in front of the pin and never left a divot and rolled out 34 feet. It should have stopped around two or three feet from the hole. There was nothing but dirt in the sand traps and it was only about and 1/8 inch deep. Impossible to hit a good sand shot and if you happen to land where you wanted it to, it almost always ran out 40 or 50 feet past the pin for a total of 100 feet in one case.and in another case all the way across the green and down the hill on the other side into a pond. For a resort course and the money we paid it was a major disappointment. I am and have been over 40 years a single digit handicap and I worked in the business for a number of years after I retired. I've played a handful of US open courses including Pebble Beach, Torry Pines and The Woodlands in Texas, so I know what a good golf course should look like.

Loved the piipaash course, great condition, greeens were well hydrated and played a bit fast. Course layout was great, weather also great. Great driving range with as many balls as you want to hit before your round. Staff and starter very friendly, will definitely be back to play again.

Great course! Had a BLAST, all the course staff were super friendly would definitely play here again! Greens were super fast but thoroughly enjoyed the track! Watch out for the course coyotes!

Played the piipaash course today. The course was in excellent condition and played very good. Was very happy with the golf, unfortunately staff at the course put my golf bag on the cart and didn’t strap it in properly and my bag feel off the cart resulting in my driver shaft breaking in half. Staff at the pro shop pretended to care and made it seem like they were going to do something about the broken club and just toyed around with me. I ended up waiting for a couple hours after the round for them to do absolutely nothing about it. Extremely poor customer service. Will unfortunately never go back and never recommend anyone to go based on how they handled the situation. A simple no I’m sorry or free item from the pro shop would have made me okay with it. Instead they questioned if I saw the bag fall off the cart.

Staff and the course are very nice, it is the third time that I have played at Talkingstick while out here on vacation. My biggest gripe about the course is that there’s not a flat, level put on the entire course. And, unfortunately, I was paired with a racist, opinionated, loudmouth person. He wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts and opinions on just about any controversial subject. I play as a single all winter while on vacation and I can honestly say this is the first time that I almost walked off the course because he made my round so miserable. Maybe that also taint my view of not giving you excellent on everything.

Very impresses with the course. Everything was in great shape. The rough was plush and the greens were in nice shape.

The cost of golf here and Phoenix in General is “Hoghway Robbery”. But we are amongst those that are stupid enough to pay what clubs are asking for. Actually on this day we payed $110 which is fair value for the layout and condition of this golf course. I’m seeing green fees over $260 for this place on Golf Now. Absolutely ridiculous.

The layout is just ok and the conditions are just ok. I guarantee you that the people making the money and running the place know that they are taking advantage of the fools willing to pay such a price for golf here.

We called Talking Stick in AM to book a mid afternoon tee time. From the onset the play was slow and we could see that there was a group on every hole. Ranger seemed to ignore this dilemma. Only communication we received from ranger was to insure cart was returned by 535 PM before darkness fell.

Halfway house was closed by time we reached in spite of starters representation that it would be open.

Course was in great shape but hard to enjoy when you had to wait to hit every shot. I believe the course was oversold and our experience could have been prevented

Great round on the Piipash course. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Course was perfectly maintained - greens rolling nicely, bunkers in great shape, fairways perfectly manicured. The only downside is a somewhat flat layout and lack of variation among holes. Neither takes away from the enjoyment of the round. I will be back 100%!

This was our first time playing here, we played the Piipaash course. The staff was extremely friendly and the course was in great condition, maybe the best I’ve ever played.

I really liked the layout and it is surrounded byi some great natural terrain and the course was beautiful.

I try to play many different courses but this is one I’d love to come back and play.

Always enjoy playing here but with the amount of rain it was cart path only and the fairways were pretty sloppy, course should have reduced the green fees to reflect the overall course conditions.

Great course. Nice wide fairways. Pretty flat good for me who is a beginner golfer.

Golfers should be made aware of (cartpath only) restriction when they attempt to schedule their tee time, Not after they arrive and begin to tee off😳 this makes it really tough for the senior golfer.

Course was nice, didn’t say cart path only when booking, pace very slow and golf cart died twice and wasn’t even offered apology or partial refund

Course was in good condition considering rain previous week . Pace of play was slower than usual with a group of eight in 2 groups ahead including some social golfers .

Ranger checked in on first few holes in front nine then never saw him

Greens in good condition but bunkers solid after rain
