Talking Stick Resort & Casino

The course conditions were excellent. Extremely wide fairways with a lot of strategically placed bunkers that force decisions off the tee. Great staff and practice facilities. Clubhouse is currently under construction. I got a Hot Deal so the value for this round was great.

The course is nothing special. In a town surrounded by fantastic courses, this is underwhelming.

My brother and law and I had an amazing time playing our first round of desert golf. Course was in awesome shape given December. Location close to the casino made for a great day.

My wife and I booked this course on golf now while staying at the resort. I booked it well in advance and had a 1 pm start time. We got set up and proceeded to 1st hole. Bob the ranger was very helpful in explaining the course rule and giving a few tips regarding the course. He was very friendly. We went off as a threesome, but quickly became bogged down between holes. after almost two hours and only making it through 5 holes, Bob came by an offered us a full raincheck for the round due to the fact that an 80 person outing had gone out immediately before us. We accepted as we figured the raincheck could pay for our round we had scheduled for two days later on the other course. We left the course and I proceeded to speak to the assistant manager(Pete I believe). He informed me that rain-checks are the responsibility of Golf Now and he couldn't or wouldn't do anything to help me come to a resolution. HE seemed very smug and not at all interested in helping. His suggestion to go out and finish round was a joke. Bob the ranger was very apologetic and asked if I would like to play with him early in the morning the next day( unfortunately we had plans already). I proceeded to cancel my Thursday tee time. I was not about to give this course more money after being treated so poorly. I believe Golf Now was going to at least refund the 2nd tee time. The bag guys and other staff seemed very attentive and friendly. My wife and I were very excited to stay and play at Talking stick, but the golf experience was very negative.

The course was in great shape. Very busy and the round was very slow. Didn’t finish last two holes.

All was great , greens really fast, only complaint the course can’t control is we were paired with another group, one guy really nice the other painfully rude and full of himself .

Wouldn’t have expected a premium facility to not communicate it was a transition mess. Poor experience for Holiday Tradition because of no communication..

Great pace of play

Tee boxes, fairways and greens excellent shape

Bunkers need more sand

Clubhouse currently under construction, difficult to access restrooms at the turn , you have to wait until the 12th hole

Course not overly challenging as wide and fairly flat, only complaint is no bathroom until hole 13 , tougher on the ladies ! Overall a great day .

This course was awesome, the last time I played on tee boxes, fairways and greens like this was when I was in Cabo and played Quivira. This was a wonderful experience; I will talk about this for a long time. Thank you and hope to see you again.

It was my first time in this course. The condition was very nice. I totally recommend this course
