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.

Really a great golf course

I had a wonderful round of golf at Talkingstick. Jeff right on time and played in just a few minutes under four hours, which is fabulous for a public layout. Of course was in great shape, the bunkers were fair, and they offered plenty of water with the heat.

I will definitely be back

Fun course, great condition

I got a hot deal so the round costed way less than normal. Classy clubhouse and grill. Course is in beautiful condition. I played the 5900 yard tees and it was very fair. My ONLY complaint were the greenside bunkers. They looked great but where NOT fluffy. They were crusty and hard. You'd think with a budget they must have that sandpros would be used daily to keep them fluffy.

I will return often though. 100% supper fun

The Best Fairway Conditions In Years

The only changes necessary are raising the left side of the greens on holes 2, 3, and 12. Any shots rolling to the left side of those greens will probably roll off and under the too nearby barbed wire fence. And some of the greenside bunkers need new sand.

Good Course - forgiving layout but long

The course was in good shape and the pace of play was fine about 4 hours. As most AZ courses are expensive during the peak spring season. I think it would be a better value around $150.

Played with my 15 yo son, we had a great time. Fairways, rough and greens all in excellent shape. Course is very open and forgiving. Nice practice facilities and staff were all first class. Highly recommend

Course was in good shape and we finished in under 4 hours. Bar was closed at 6pm which was annoying.

One of the worst experiences ever

From the start of the round till the end the threesome in front of us was extremely slow and drinking. No one ever came out to get them to play faster. When we checked in the clubhouse said we should have no issue with finishing but we only completed 16 holes. When we returned our carts in the dark the staff did not help with anything. Three people walking around and one person counting his money who refused to help and said the clubhouse was closed and there was nowhere to complain after I told him what happened. Extremely disappointing when you pay to golf a nice course and this is the experience you have
