Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

The only bad thing I have to say about this course is that it was CPO the day we played it! Talking Stick is great and always a joy to play when we're in the area (if you can find it at the right price)! Will definitely play here again!

On GolfPass, it did not refer to the cartpath only rule due to over seeding. Was informed going to arrived at golf course, didn’t wanna walk.

I would think a discount is in order when you can’t drive on the course due to reseeding that slows play way down. Not allowing us to finish the round. 90 degree rule would be easy to enforce and speed up play.

My wife had a conference so I was the plus one and picked Talking Stick. The GolfNow rate helped but knew it would be tough to get 18 in starting at 2:51pm. I arrived super early and used the range and putting green, both very nice. I spoke with Bob the Starter to let him know I was onsite and early. He paired me with a regular, Al, who was awesome and we went off the back. The local knowledge helped! We waited a minute or two at each whole so not too bad. Al left after nine and I joined a new twosome at 4pm. The pace of play showed dramatically and I played the last two holes in the dark. Never saw a Marshall. The course and greens were in great shape. Only downside was it was cart path only the entire way because they are still over seeding. I paid $75 I believe and it is worth it if you get 18 holes in. I shot a 89 and was overall happy with the experience. There are a ton of golf course choices but I would play this again!

Course is in great shape after overseeding. Greens are firm and fast. Course has Marshalls making sure pace of play is maintained. Fun layout.

Played this course after overseed. Greens were stilll a little bumpy. Pace of played was very slow - we waited on virtually every shot; some of that could be blamed on the fact that we were playing “cart path only”. Staff were excellent and made it an overall very good experience. Would definitely recommend this course!

Apparently this time of year you need to be prepared for cart path only.

Overall a nice course and bar / restaurant staff were great.

Sadly really really poor experience with on course attendant. Pave of play is important, but being told to hurry up in a sub 4 hour round, cart path only, and senior tees often nearing 400 yards was sadly disappointing. If you are cart path only and have seniors you cannot expect them to play 3 hour rounds of golf with cart path -

Seriously poor course setup and attitude. We played ready golf but were chastised - don’t play here if it’s cart path - you get ZERO sympathy and total lack of golf knowledge from course Marshall.

O’odham is definitely a less challenging and more fun course to play in my opinion. Piipash is a bit more compact, holes are more difficult in regard to size of area for ball to land in play.

It’s a beautiful course and a beautiful experience. Very fun. Leave plenty of time for a full 4 person group to finish 18 holes.

Great staff and amenities. Course played well and was in very good shape. Driving range closed for seasonal overseed, it’s my personal curse that all first time visits have closed ranges.

Championship course, great views, friendly staff. Must play when in The Valley.

I know after Covid each golfer had their own cart. Not sure when Talking Stick changed but I believe you need to be respectful that if someone wants their own cart you should allow them to have one just like you have in the past. You've had enough carts in the past. I'm sure I'm not alone but I do not appreciate golfing with someone I don't know drinking a lot and vaping next to me while we I'm in the cart.

Course is in great shape and brand new clubhouse. Friendly staff and beer cart person.

Will definitely play here again.
