Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course
About
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.

Eighteen green Photo submitted by Rosey461 on 06/16/2014
Staff needs communication lessons
Staff at check in did not explain where to access range for warmup. We ended up at a “player development” area where we were told to leave. Found the correct area, but felt embarrassed for our mistake. No pitching or chipping area that we could see.
You are charging too much
Course was nice ,but nothing spectacular. Conditions were above average, layout was average.no real scenic value except green grass. Not worth the money. Lots of better courses to choose from.
Flat course, decent layout
I’ve played Talking Stick 2-3 times. My first time out happened to be when ASU Women’s golf was hosting a tourney in the morning which created the worst back up for the remainder of rounds in the afternoons. It happens.
But the other times out were equally as slow. Not sure why, just seems there’s no one on the course ushering groups through.
The course is in great shape. Beautiful area next to the Talking Stick resort. Very forgiving for the novice golfers with opportunities to score for the more skilled players.
You’ll have a great time with friends or randos.
Overpaying for these courses
Spend your money elsewhere. This course is very over rated. There are much better courses in the area better than this for much less dollars. This is average in layout and scenic value and difficulty..
Good Track
Played here today. Greens were fast and fairways were in good shape. Only downside is the bunkers they are horrible. If they are looking to get $150+ for a round I would expect bunkers you can actually play from. Everything else was good though from pace of play, to fairways and greens.
Great Golf
The course is in great shape. Clubhouse is beautiful and driving range is great as well. Got paired with a couple regulars and they were great playing partners! I would def recommend and play again. Thanks Taking Stick
Another day in our Arizona paradise
Just another day in our Arizona paradise. Apart from the imbeciles from Minneapolis making fools of themselves, as per the norm for winter visitors to Az, it was a perfect, pristine, Arizona winter day. And Talking Stick, just great. With 36 holes, a casino, all kinds of shopping down the street, this is one of the best golf experiences anywhere. The course is surprisingly wide and forgiving. Great winter grass conditions, and surprisingly interesting terrain and layout. They sculpted the course very nicely out of flat desert terrain. Decent vistas of the surrounding hills make it a super nice experience. Very popular practice range, although the chipping/putting area is woefully inadequate. I found the Pro Shop staff to be friendly and helpful, and while I can't say the starters are all that friendly, they are on top of things out on the range and first tee. Good treatment as a gollfnow player. Sent me off on "north" Oodham 18.
Conditions superb - greens pretty hard and difficult to hold a shot, but they were fairly quick and very honest. 10 footers were very makeable. Just a super nice round with 3 other local Az people.
Thoroughly Enjoyable
Course is in great condition. Greens are quick and pure. Layout is terrific for a resort course as it allows even average golfers to play without looking for lost balls all day. This made for a 4 hour round even though the course was fully booked. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Absolutely would play any chance I could.
Excellent and very good course conditions,.
Generous fairways, large well maintained greens. Very friendly and efficient staff. Good practice facilities.
Flat, but nice...
We were told by GolfNow we would be playing Piipaash, but Talking Stick moved us to O'Odham. There seems to be no way to be able to play Piipaash thru GolfNow.
Desert Gem
Lush, wide fairways. Fair greens...not too fast, maybe 10 on the stimp. Perfect conditions for a resort course.
It would have been nice to know
The course was fine, the staff friendly, the college tournament that we weren’t told about made the round real slow. It would have been nice to know they had a tournament when I made a T time. I would have paid the extremely high fees somewhere else maybe? I wasn’t given that choice.
Over priced
First time playing. There are two courses, but had no idea of which one was available on Golfnow, until we booked and received the confirmation. O'odham was the course we played. The driving range was packed as were both golf courses. Not sure why, because the green fee is overpriced for the course. This is a $50 range course, not over $100. Overall decent conditions. Did play somewhat slow on the back 9. Will not be back because of the green fee rates. Maybe there are some deals for the casino guests, which would explain how busy the course was. Would not recommend the course, just because of the green fee rate. Too many choices of courses in the area for a lot less money.
