Talking Stick Resort & Casino

Booked a tee time thinking I could squeeze 18 in after work. Right before we go out, the starter tells us all carts must be in by 7pm. Got through 13 holes. Good value if I could have played until sunset, pretty bad value with such an early cart call. Wouldn’t book an afternoon tee time here again.

Other than the pace of play, was not really anyone's fault except for what we were told a very slow playing tournament that went off early in the morning. The course was great, tee to green great shape, loved how the course had a water guy circling the course for water. Overall a great experience and Will be Back soon!! Thank you

I use these reviews as a gauge for play so I thought I’d add mine. Overall the course and staff were good. Pace of play was about 4.5 hours and that was following what looked to be a large group playing a scramble. The greens are still healing from aeration but weren’t too bad, slow and a little bumpy but good enough, the fairways were pretty good but the bunkers need help.

Overall good conditions, except greens are still healing from aeration, being both bumpy and slow. Some fairways are struggling with the AZ heat, but you can find some grass nearby to move your ball. Sand traps need sand, not dried mud/clay. Place was great, as there were almost no players on the South course. Value was good. Even with above conditions, I had a great round.

Friendly & helpful staff. Starter was great. He got us started a little early on the Piipaash course. We played the round in just over 3 hours. The course was in great shape despite the very hot summer days. Excellent course to play at a good price.

Course was in great shape. I’ve played a few courses in the area since I’ve been here in Scottsdale and this is by far the nicest.

Very disappointed and won't be returning to Talking Stick. Course was average at best and not worth the $140 "off-season" rate. We played Quintero 1 week prior for $110 and that course was far superior to talking stick. Worst part was the rude staff. Our group had all seasoned golfers who know and respect golf etiquette. We follow rules, kept up with pace of play (our round was 4 hours exactly), didn't drink alcohol at all and were still treated like we didn't belong there. We've had Talking Stick on our radar for a couple years now and were excited to finally play the course. We've played all over the valley and this has been our worst overall experience. Very unfortunate for sure. I kindly request their staff be encouraged to treat people better. I could go on with the specific examples of our experience but won’t be able to fit everything here.

Best customer service and conditioning I've seen this summer throughout the valley.

Very nice course with friendly staff, good practice facilities and good pace of play. Course conditions were a little inconsistent in the fairways but overall good.

I played the north course . Unfortunately, South was closed for maintenance. This made the North busy , even at late tee off. I decided to stop after 14 holes and 4 hrs of play. A course marshal would have have helped the pace. I enjoy the course and the amenities . Beautiful scenery , didn’t mind the 105’ heat. Pace of play needs to improve.

Third time in last few weeks. The staff is great, the course well considering piping hot weather. Will continue to visit.

Course was wide open very easy no challenges for the money.
