Christmas Day Golf
The cost of golf here and Phoenix in General is “Hoghway Robbery”. But we are amongst those that are stupid enough to pay what clubs are asking for. Actually on this day we payed $110 which is fair value for the layout and condition of this golf course. I’m seeing green fees over $260 for this place on Golf Now. Absolutely ridiculous.
The layout is just ok and the conditions are just ok. I guarantee you that the people making the money and running the place know that they are taking advantage of the fools willing to pay such a price for golf here.
Friendly service
Beautiful course, enjoyed the pat 4’s most of all.
Surprised in a bad way
Everything was excellent, except for one big problem. I’m am handicapped and they refused to accommodate me by adjusting the GPS. This slowed down our pace of play and turned a great experience into work! Hopefully, someone will be able to solve this issue.
Beautiful
Course is in great condition. We loved everything about this course from the friendly and helpful staff to the amazing lunch we enjoyed. I managed to find almost every sand bunker, but that was my playing for the day, nothing to do with the course. The pace of play was great, we moved right along. The pro shop was very well stocked with men’s clothing and as with most pro shops that we’ve encountered the ladies section is much more limited, but there were nice choices here. I’m very happy we played this course and I’m excited to make another tee time on our next visit to Scottsdale.
Course Oversold
We called Talking Stick in AM to book a mid afternoon tee time. From the onset the play was slow and we could see that there was a group on every hole. Ranger seemed to ignore this dilemma. Only communication we received from ranger was to insure cart was returned by 535 PM before darkness fell.
Halfway house was closed by time we reached in spite of starters representation that it would be open.
Course was in great shape but hard to enjoy when you had to wait to hit every shot. I believe the course was oversold and our experience could have been prevented
Great Day at Talking Stick
Great round on the Piipash course. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Course was perfectly maintained - greens rolling nicely, bunkers in great shape, fairways perfectly manicured. The only downside is a somewhat flat layout and lack of variation among holes. Neither takes away from the enjoyment of the round. I will be back 100%!
First time playing here, but definitely not the last.
This was our first time playing here, we played the Piipaash course. The staff was extremely friendly and the course was in great condition, maybe the best I’ve ever played.
I really liked the layout and it is surrounded byi some great natural terrain and the course was beautiful.
I try to play many different courses but this is one I’d love to come back and play.
Always enjoy playing here but with the amount of rain it was cart path only and the fairways were pretty sloppy, course should have reduced the green fees to reflect the overall course conditions.
Golf Pass Members Don't Even Bother
The course was pretty. The staff were absolutely horrible people. Golf snobs of the worst degree, wearing name tags at their hourly jobs working for the Native Americans. ZERO STARS!
Nice wide fairways
Great course. Nice wide fairways. Pretty flat good for me who is a beginner golfer.
Golfers should be made aware of (cartpath only)
Golfers should be made aware of (cartpath only) restriction when they attempt to schedule their tee time, Not after they arrive and begin to tee off😳 this makes it really tough for the senior golfer.
Nice course, slow play, cart brokedown
Course was nice, didn’t say cart path only when booking, pace very slow and golf cart died twice and wasn’t even offered apology or partial refund
