Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

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.

The fairways and greens were in perfect condition. Very nice club house and facilities. Greens were in great shape and very challenging! Would love to play here again.

Overall good experience, only real issue was the driving range had little to no grass, tough to practice prior to my round.

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!

Great experience. Especially pace of play. A bit pricey

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 $$$!!

Just a very awesome course to play hope to get back.

Generous fairways, good condition make this a good course for the Hot Deal value. Not sure if I would have still felt that ways if I had paid full price. It was great for a winter round for this Northerner while attending the WMPO. Average layout, but no real memorable holes, but I was happy to be out playing golf! Hit the casino adjacent to the course, which was a bonus!

The course was extremely busy, slow and in below average conditions. There are a lot of deep bunkers, but they have no playable sand and many were still soggy/muddy late in the day. The fairways are green, but the grass is so short you might as well be playing on the dirt. The driving range is large but also has very little grass to play off of. The layout is good and very forgiving as in many resort courses.

Course is wide. Play early and you'll be ok with the pace. We need of around 9. Greens fast n firm if you like that.
