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.

Solid 18 holes on Piipaash. Great value!

The Piipaash 18 was a nice layout, and plenty of longer par 4s from the gold tee deck. Fairways and bunkers were all in decent shape (the waste bunker / wash away area on15 needs some help, bud besides that one), and the greens rolled true but we’re a bit hard and needed some watering. Pace of play was excellent as our threesome moved right along, and on a hot 95 degree day, cart refreshments appeared 3 times during our 18, and ice water coolers were available on every other tee box.

Great condition and nice layout. Pace of play left a lot to be desired as lots of batchelor parties and very slow.

Great condition and no holdups but lack of drink carts

The course was in great condition and we rarely had to wait even a short time before teeing off at each hole. Only negative I can think was we only saw the food and drink cart twice in the round which would’ve been fine but the water coolers around the course were running out.

Staff was down right rude. Pace of play was pathetic at best. On course amenities were terrible.

I will not ever recommend this facility to anyone I like .

Talking Stick, Scottsdale, AZ

Played with 3 friends. Found the course in very good condition and challenging but fun. Only concern was that the yardages were not readily visible and you have to backtrack about 100 yards on the 15th hole to get to the 16th tee. Overall a great experience and would play there I again.

Immaculate

Course is in fantastic shape, and the greens were absolute perfection. When these greens are quick the course becomes fairly difficult. The fairways are the size of runways but the challenge comes from the second shot on in. If your irons aren’t dialed in, don’t miss in the correct spots, or your short game is in a bad place, it could be a frustrating day. Also, it’s always going to be a bit breezy, which makes it that much more challenging.
