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.

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.

Talking Stick

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 .

Family outing

Great time, my 2 boys and son n law. Definitely recommend. And the road runner with the lizard in his mouth was a catch.

Course was in great shape but didn’t meet our expectations for the price and the hype on the internet

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.

Rookie player

Have heard about this track for eons, finally decided to take the leap. Why did I wait this long??

First rate FREE range balls hitting off turf. Putting green is huge and actually matched course conditions. Fairways in great shape, traps need sand as they are baked...and I found too many of them! Greens roll true and we're consistent in speed.
