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.

5 hour rounds aren’t acceptable

Course was in ok condition. Greens will only hold a wedge everything else bounces off. Bunkers are pretty poor. Biggest complaint is pace of play. They pack this course to maximum capacity which is fine but the rangers need to manage that. We spoke with the rangers on 3 different occasions and they were aware of a group holding up the entire course and did nothing about it. They said “it is what it is.” Not sure how this is acceptable and isn’t it the rangers job to keep the pace of play moving????? Play elsewhere that cares about their guests experience not just the money grab.

Nice round at Talking Stick

Easy access from Scottsdale. Very nice amenities both on and off the course. Layout is not too difficult but there were several spots where the desert areas came into play. We will be back to play the south course too!!

Piipaash!!

Great course all around. Grass was perfect, the layout is just challenging enough due to sand traps; greens were a little fast. Had a great time, range balls were free and finished in 4h.

Played it many times but…

This time we received a golf cart that had leftover salsa in it, a used plastic toothpick & the navigation battery died around hole 12. Katie the cart girl was great trying to restart the navigation for us but confirmed the battery was dead.

Good value, excellent amenities, friendly staff!

I have played several times at both courses (North and South) over the years and always enjoy the experience. The TeeOff/GolfNow rate of $80 worked well and even with teeing off at 12:51 we got our 18 holes in before it got too late to play. There used to be a lot of good deals at this course, but since Covid, you have to really search for a good price.
