Reviews
Greens are really fast & watch out for the coyotes
Great course! Had a BLAST, all the course staff were super friendly would definitely play here again! Greens were super fast but thoroughly enjoyed the track! Watch out for the course coyotes!
So So
Great conditions. Great resort. The golf was pretty boring. Play this course if you want friendly staff, well manicured grass and to just grip an rip. It’s flat boring wide open. Greens are in good shape
Great to knock the rust off to start a trip but the price doesn’t match the course .
Poor customer service after a great day of golf.
Played the piipaash course today. The course was in excellent condition and played very good. Was very happy with the golf, unfortunately staff at the course put my golf bag on the cart and didn’t strap it in properly and my bag feel off the cart resulting in my driver shaft breaking in half. Staff at the pro shop pretended to care and made it seem like they were going to do something about the broken club and just toyed around with me. I ended up waiting for a couple hours after the round for them to do absolutely nothing about it. Extremely poor customer service. Will unfortunately never go back and never recommend anyone to go based on how they handled the situation. A simple no I’m sorry or free item from the pro shop would have made me okay with it. Instead they questioned if I saw the bag fall off the cart.
Pairing player
Staff and the course are very nice, it is the third time that I have played at Talkingstick while out here on vacation. My biggest gripe about the course is that there’s not a flat, level put on the entire course. And, unfortunately, I was paired with a racist, opinionated, loudmouth person. He wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts and opinions on just about any controversial subject. I play as a single all winter while on vacation and I can honestly say this is the first time that I almost walked off the course because he made my round so miserable. Maybe that also taint my view of not giving you excellent on everything.
Nice Day
Very impresses with the course. Everything was in great shape. The rough was plush and the greens were in nice shape.
Expected more!
Greens were covered with divots. Faairways were not maintained. Did not see the value for what we paid. We were disappointed because it used to be a great course
Christmas Day Golf
The cost of golf here and Phoenix in General is “Hoghway Robbery”. But we are amongst those that are stupid enough to pay what clubs are asking for. Actually on this day we payed $110 which is fair value for the layout and condition of this golf course. I’m seeing green fees over $260 for this place on Golf Now. Absolutely ridiculous.
The layout is just ok and the conditions are just ok. I guarantee you that the people making the money and running the place know that they are taking advantage of the fools willing to pay such a price for golf here.
Friendly service
Beautiful course, enjoyed the pat 4’s most of all.
Surprised in a bad way
Everything was excellent, except for one big problem. I’m am handicapped and they refused to accommodate me by adjusting the GPS. This slowed down our pace of play and turned a great experience into work! Hopefully, someone will be able to solve this issue.
Beautiful
Course is in great condition. We loved everything about this course from the friendly and helpful staff to the amazing lunch we enjoyed. I managed to find almost every sand bunker, but that was my playing for the day, nothing to do with the course. The pace of play was great, we moved right along. The pro shop was very well stocked with men’s clothing and as with most pro shops that we’ve encountered the ladies section is much more limited, but there were nice choices here. I’m very happy we played this course and I’m excited to make another tee time on our next visit to Scottsdale.
Course Oversold
We called Talking Stick in AM to book a mid afternoon tee time. From the onset the play was slow and we could see that there was a group on every hole. Ranger seemed to ignore this dilemma. Only communication we received from ranger was to insure cart was returned by 535 PM before darkness fell.
Halfway house was closed by time we reached in spite of starters representation that it would be open.
Course was in great shape but hard to enjoy when you had to wait to hit every shot. I believe the course was oversold and our experience could have been prevented
