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.

Loved the course!

Even though they are under construction/renovation, it did not detract from the course itself. Challenging greens! Great pace of play an all around a great day!

It's ok

Course is pretty basic with no real character on a flat area with mostly desert trees on both sides of the fairway. Mountain views far away. Minimal bathroom access on the course, less than most and clubhouse is under construction with a temp one in place. No bottled water and hose water in water coolers on course in abundance. Beverage cart only.seen once in over 4 hours. Better courses in the valley for same price.

ok, but.

Driving range closes around 1 pm every Mon and Thu. So, don't plan on warming up or practicing. Clubhouse and other are under construction.

Too Late a Start

Was not able to finish due to darkness. It backed up at the back nine. The course is not for beginners. Playing late in the day caused the setting sun directly in the direction of the green. Difficult to follow, much less see the ball. This is where you pick up your ball and move on. If others would do the same, back ups would not be a problem. Otherwise it was an enjoyable round playing with some local and out of town people.
