Eighteen green Photo submitted by Rosey461 on 06/16/2014
Arizona heat
Golf course was great , Staff was awesome pace of play was good. Busy but still played in @ 4 hrs. Great views and wildlife was amazing too see.
Overall a great course
The course is well taken care of. The fairways are wide open and the greens are challenging. However, I was walking with a hand cart and it was not walker friendly. No walkways off of the tee boxes.
Great conditions and fun.
Talking Stick (North)is a fun course. I would highly recommend playing if you have the opportunity.
Hot day
It was 107 when we were out there. that's just too hot. draining. wide fairways the golds played 6500 yards even in AZ. that's the very end of my 65 year old golf game. out of the 3 rounds in Az. on this trip I finally started to figure out the "special" turf around the greens that stop your club on contact. got a good deal on golf pass at 80 bucks so very much worth it. although I played Pippish in April for 150 and thought that was still a deal.
Great course!
The only 2 bummers- Restaurant closed at 3pm and we were all ready for a quick bite after playing the first 9. Also- practice greens and driving range were both closed for seeding. The communication of these 2 things could have been better. We were surprised by both.
Piipash
O’odham is definitely a less challenging and more fun course to play in my opinion. Piipash is a bit more compact, holes are more difficult in regard to size of area for ball to land in play.
It’s a beautiful course and a beautiful experience. Very fun. Leave plenty of time for a full 4 person group to finish 18 holes.
107 degrees
we played on a 107 degree day. that was our mistake. they had pippish closed down along with the driving range and putting green. that stuff happens in Az. in Sept. 6500 yards was long for us but the fairways are wide and playable despite the length. got a great deal on golf now. would definitely play again.
Not a bad option
I wouldn't go out of my way for Talking Stick but if you are in the area, it's worth playing.
The Stick
Great course but the range and practice putt area were both closed. Totally unacceptable for the price
Very Nice
Great staff and amenities. Course played well and was in very good shape. Driving range closed for seasonal overseed, it’s my personal curse that all first time visits have closed ranges.
Well kept and up to date amenities
Really enjoyed this course. Very rustic feel. Could use more signage and water stations along the way to hydrate. Lots of standing water with visible pumps as well.
Greens and fairways well maintained. Very nice and clean up to date club house. Overall. You won’t be disappointed.
Beautiful course rude staff
Course was in great shape pro shop and club house staff friendly however the starter irritated us with the instant disrespectful attitude and sending the ranger 3 minutes into a 3 some saying how we’re holding up pace of play and to pick up and move on. Ranger met up with us a few times and he was super cool after the first interaction without the starter yapping in his ear.
Amazing course but hot!
Great course and because of the heat we were able to get an amazing rate. Would love to play again when the weather is cooler.
