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.

Pretty good course

Overall, the course was well maintained and easy to access. The tee boxes and fairways were well watered and green. The greens were drier and the dirt harder than the rest of the course. The ball would frequently roll off the back of the green instead of biting. We had to aim for the ball to land prior to the green then hope it would hold on the greens. Pace of play was ok, but could have been better. The marshal should have sped up the group ahead, but just drove past them each time. The layout is flat and honestly, a bit boring. Felt like a well watered muni course.

Of all the courses we played in this area, I wouldn’t pick this one to play again.

Nice Course & Long

First time here. Course plays long, greens were very firm and wouldn’t really hold a shot. But greens rolled nicely. Course was nicely cut and green considering it’s summer. Was a real hot day with a lot of players. Kudos to Scott for bringing water around a couple of times. Very nice cart lady too. Had a great talk with Harold & Rich in the Pro Shop, and Jim the starter got us out a little early. The grille afterward was excellent, especially the salmon glazed salad. Would play and eat here again. Thank you!

Good per usual

Talking stick is always a good summer course. Not many courses will be in better condition this time of year.

Great Marshall

Great Marshall. A monsoon was brewing and the Marshall did a great job of letting us know what was ahead for us in terms of the storm. Very friendly staff from the club house to the cart barn to the bartender.

Didn’t even get to play

We were late 5 mins and were told we couldn’t play. Then, we were also told we don’t qualify for the tribal discount because we booked through a different party and had to submit it 3 days in advance. So don’t recommend this place, very poor customer service.

Not worth the money

The greens were recently aerated and they did not roll very well. Very slow and bouncy! For $80+, I expected a better experience. Fairways were in good shape for this time of year. Sand traps were in good shape.

I have played this course before and really enjoyed it.

Stop closing the range

GolfNow doesn’t tell you they close their range at 1:30pm. was the only reason I booked this last minute round because it said practice balls included. Get there and can’t warm up? Pretty insane on a golf course not exactly charging cheap prices. I will say; I got a hot deal on golf now for 50 bucks, and that’s exactly what this course should be. If I paid 150 here I would be so upset
