About Talking Stick Resort & Casino

Just east of Phoenix-Scottsdale, Talking Stick Resort is owned and operated by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. It is among Arizona's largest golf and casino resorts with nearly 500 guest rooms in a 15-story hotel tower, six restaurants, entertainment and pools. Located off the Highway 101 loop, it is conveniently located near Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and many of the area's best golf courses. In addition to nightlife and live casino action at the resort, a Topgolf was recently added to the property as well. The main outdoor pool is large and has live music and DJs during a summer series and cabanas for rent, while there are two smaller pools. Additional amenities include a spa, fitness center and a complimentary shuttle that can transport guests to area attractions. The golf club is located next door and feature 36 holes designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the Piipash and O'odham. Both golf courses are void of residential development and feature forgiving fairways and greens on native terrain.

Great course for the summer

When we arrived to the course we were surprised to see all the features such as bag drop off and free range balls for a $60 tee time, we have played other courses around the area in much worse condition that were close to the same price and this course has to be one of the best courses money can offer for $60 or any good rate you can find during the summer. The only downside is the bunkers but staff notified us they would be closing the course for a few weeks to work on these bunkers.

Avoid the Bunkers

Course is in very good condition EXCEPT the bunkers. Bunker were hard and crispy. Not maintained by lifting the sand and then smoothing… only lightly scraped top layer at best. Very crusty. Other than that everything else in fantastic condition.

Amazing golf experience

From the moment we arrived, the staff were outstanding. They make sure you have everything you need for a great day on the course, including water, snacks, and equipment. The course was in perfect condition. The only bad thing for me is my ball seemed to find every bunker on the course. Otherwise we had a wonderful time.

Perfect Relaxed Resort Golf

Though the course is a very simple layout, and not challenging, it is very well maintained and ran very well by an excellent team. The starter was very nice and relaxed, while also executing his role with care. Highly recommend using golf now for this course especially because they list great hot deals!
