Talking Stick Resort & Casino

Course was crowed. Greens were lumpy. Pace was slow. Way to much money

Course did not measure to other area courses i have played..TPC, Troon North, Raven, Legacy, Wigwam for example. It was ok and in goid shape. Rental clubs were very expensive at 90+ per set. One club broke on practice range. One driver had cracks on bottom of head. None of the woods/drivers were clean.

Price for round was goid value. Price for clubs was nearly as much as the round and clubs were not well kept or clean.

Id say decent value if you had your own clubs

We traveled a long way to Phoenix to play golf. This was a highly rated, and kind of expensive course.

We were not allowed to take cart off the cart path. That made the entire experience terrible. Lots of walking back and forth to play. We should have been warned about this.

It was hot, and golf was not much fun at all.

Course was in really good shape considering the amount of rain we had over the weekend. Some cart paths were under water, but the course was playing cart path only.

Only biggest negative was the slow play, for the 2nd week in a row by a group 4 ahead of us. By hole 4, they were already 2 holes behind, which meant all the other groups were waiting for each and every shot for 16 holes. It got so bad that when this group was on hole 15, the group in front of them were done. Marshal comes by twice and says nothing to them, even though he sees everyone stacking up behind them. When we ask why he didn't move them along, he said --oh they are playing within pace of play, which was a lie because it took us 4+45 to finish and we barely made it under the sunlight, and so everyone that was behind us didn't, due to this one group.

Our first time playing there and it is beautiful and the course is great. We played late afternoon with a 4:09 tee time, but that was not enough to play 9 holes before it got dark. It was busy as well with the pace of play pretty slow. Would have liked to finish and feel like they had too many groups on the course. Was fun and I would love to play it again someday though.

The golf course was in pretty good shape considering it had come out of overseed 2-3 weeks ago. The greens were surprisingly quick, not fuzzy at all. The fairways are still shaggy yet, so not much roll on the drives. What was surprising was how much the weeds have grown up just off the fairways. I'm guessing because of the recent rains. Hard to find your ball if off fairway. Pace of play was a bit slow due to cart path only restriction.

It’s too bad the Pi ‘ipash course closed for Overseed the day after we played. It was in pristine condition. The only downside was that BOTH the range and the putting green were both closed on the day we played.

Talking stick was awesome, everything was great except the range and putting areas werre close due to overseeding but no worries they're open now... all staff was great ,bar, pro shop starter and the marshall, he was trying to move the groups in front of us along because they were slowing everything down. So thank you all, can't wait to come back, hoping golfers are more considerate next time.

Big fairways with no 2nd cut, very forgiving if you are loose off of the tee, but the second shots into the elevated greens heavily protected with deep bunkers are the teeth. Missing on the wrong spot and short siding yourself is a huge penalty. Late summer bermuda was perfect, greens were perfect, I didn't see a single bad spot on any of them. Bunkers seems to be recently filled with deep fluffy soft tan sand and I missed a green with a high 8 iron and it almost completely disappeared underneath it. Price was average, practice green and driving range were closed, so that sucked. Everything else was what you'd expect or better.
