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.

Zero Stars. Staff are Jerks. They Hate Golf Pass Members!

DON'T waste your Hot Deals at this course! They treat Golf Pass members like beggars, when they're just hourly employees of the Native Americans! They made me wait 2 hours in ARIZONA IN AUGUST to tee off, just because I had a Hot Deal. That is dangerous! Meanwhile, the #1 tee box stood empty! I'll admit that the course was absolutely beautiful, although there was ZERO cart service on a 107 degree day. I'll never go back!

ZERO STARS! The golf-snobs there are total jerks.

ZERO STARS! Never again! The golf snob clowns there think they're in Scottsdale, but they're hourly workers on the Reservation! I had a 1pm tee time, got there at 10am, and they made me wait 1 1/2 hours to tee off. IN ARIZONA! IN AUGUST! The course was empty, they were just being snobs. I played in 2 1/2 hours. EVERY other course I play here in AZ lets me tee off early to avoid the heat, but not these fake golf snobs. Just because they work at an expensive course, they think they're special! The course was beautiful, I've got to admit, but it's the people that ruined it for me. I'll never go back!

Eh

Hard to think this is ranked one of the best courses around. Uninspired layout that winds through parking lots and roads. Course at the time (Aug) in rough shape with somehow mud pits all over? Hopefully caught it at a tough time. If I had a choice I’d play either WeKoPa 99 times out of a hundred over this for the same price point.

Great Day at Talking Stick

Played at 3 PM and he weather was overcast so kept the heat down below 100. The course just came out of aerification and was in decent shape but had some rough spots which is to be expected. Wide open fairways and the greens should be back in a week or so but was still puttable just a little bumpy. Will be back
