Great Course! (O’odham Course)
If you’re looking for a course that is forgiving and open this is the one! Bunkers are strategically placed to still be challenging enough to make you think. Course was cart path only for overseeding but again being wide open and relatively flat it didn’t hurt not getting off the path. The staff was top tier! Super friendly and attentive. Bev Carts going all day and every time I was looking for a drink they were heading our way. Overall 10/10 experience and will be back!
2025Trip
Course was in great shape and the greens were in great condition also. Would highly recommend playing this course again.
Good condition but pace a little sliw
Course was in good condition considering rain previous week . Pace of play was slower than usual with a group of eight in 2 groups ahead including some social golfers .
Ranger checked in on first few holes in front nine then never saw him
Greens in good condition but bunkers solid after rain
Practice Facility closed
Was never told practice area was closed. Never got a email that it would closed. I always get there 1 hour early to loosen up and hit some balls and putt to get speed of the greens. Was told tough luck go wait at the sandwich shop Won’t play again there Pete
Save Your Money! (And Your Golf Pass Points) Zero Stars
Talking Stick isn't worth half what they charge to play. The par 4's are almost all over 400 yards, the fairways are pretty, but the greens were a joke. (punched and sandy) There was no cart service on a 107 degree day, they don't let you bring your own water, and the guys in the pro shop were jerks. They treat Golf Pass members with a Hot Deal like beggars! Spend your $$ somewhere else. ZERO STARS!
Unfriendly Staff
I would avoid Talking Stick. They might have the unfriendliest staff in town. Called this morning because they were wide open and they told me I could go out, just to come and they would fit me in as I was playing as a single. Got to the course, and they wouldn’t let me out because I paid twilight. Again wide open and I am a single. As many courses as there are in the area, I would and will play anywhere else. Course didn’t look in that good of condition.
Always a very good experience.
Course was in good condition even at the end of summer. Staff was very friendly in the shop and on the course.
Top notch
I booked a reservation on Golf now walked into the Pro shop gave my name said we’re all set. The starter was very friendly and there was an opening and got off 30 minutes earlier wide fairways. we played 6200 yards. two men and two women played it in four hours and 10 minutes. Good stuff highly recommend
Grossly Overpriced Course.
Over $100 to play this long, flat boring course! Not for working folks. There was no cart service (on a 107 degree day), zero shade and they won't let you bring your own water! The grass was nice on the fairways, but the greens were punched and sandy. The golf shirts in the "pro" shop were $135, instead of the usual ridiculous $80 at other courses!. ZERO STARS!
Great time and great company
Second time playing this course and it didn't disappoint. It can be a little challenging from the gold and the greens were not easy to read. Played with another guy and eventually had two singles join us due to the slow play. For the most part the staff was great, though the starter was a little huffy and flustered. Pace of play was slower than usual for my liking, though a marshall was visible. All is all, a great time.
North Course Greens Very Slow
The course was in generally good condition, with tee boxes being leveled (for the most part), fairways a bit soft (not typical rollout), rough was manageable, sand traps in good shape, collars of greens were damp (checking balls on occasion), and and greens were quite slow (still recovering from recent aeration and sanding). Pace of play was very good for our foursome, as was value. Note that putting green was also very slow, given that it too had just reopened following conditioning.
Golf Snobs In The Pro Shop Ruined It For Me.
These name-tag-wearing hourly employees of the SRPMIC Indian Community act like they own Pebble Beach! They treat Golf Pass members like beggars. I usually brag on a course, then the staff, but the guys there ruined it for me. I admit that the course was beautiful, with gorgeous fairways. The greens had been recently punched, but weren't too sandy, and rolled well. Still, not worth what they ask to be around horrible snobs like the boys in the pro shop. ZERO STARS!
Nice Course
Got a great price online, great value. Gotta play it!!
