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.

Timeless, fun golf

If Talking Stick’s O’odham course is Coore & Crenshaw’s ode to Donald Ross, Piipaash is their ode to A.W. Tillinghast, with undulating greens that tend to flow upward out of the fairway run-ups, rather than the more prevalent false fronts of its sister golf course. Post-overseed conditions just aren’t as fun as when the underlying Bermuda grass is allowed to be dry and firm, but between the variety of holes and the ease of walkability, Talking Stick is one of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area’s best places to play golf.

Course is great but can be a mess there

Love this course but unfortunately they love to the close the range at the busiest times. They stuff a lot of tee times in and it was very very slow. It is always in great condition though.

Great course

We got a hot deal price. Still expensive but it was okay at the GN hot deal rate I suppose. Staff are great. Pace was good. I’d play it again but it is quite spendy.
