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.

Not What I Expected

Since Talking Stick Resort is first class, I expected the golf course to follow the same. Unfortunately, I was "very" disappointed in the layout, several holes were not well taken care of as far as aesthetics, front nine was just ho-hum boring, so overall not worth the price. I will NOT be playing Talking Stick again.

Review response

I arranged a foursome all from Chicago. The course was impressive but the wait on tee boxes was most disturbing and distracting. This is the second time I experienced this at Talking Stick since October of 2020.

Course good, staff not so much!!!!

2:45 tee time. Lack of carts made me walk from clubhouse to driving range, then to check in desk, then back to club house for a cart. Had no sand in the containers, no tees, score card or pencil in cart. My first time here and won't go back. Lazy staff couldn't care less about my questions and seemed more occupied with there food. Played 18 and only had the food/bev cart come by once on the 4th. Course was great, other than they have no ball washers anywhere.

Course in bad shape.

Played it before and today I was stunned how feted out the course was, especially the greens. May as well of been hitting up on and putting out in the parking lot.
