The Talking Stick Golf Club, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, offers two uniquely different courses that each offer many options according to your playing skill. The Piipaash course (previously known as South at Talking Stick Golf Club), with its tree-lined fairways and raised greens defended at the sides offers a more straightforward style of play than the O'odham Course (formerly known as North at Talking Stick Golf Club).

A round of golf on the Piipaash Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club kicks off on a par-4 hole that measures 405 yards from the Black tees. Three long par-5 holes ensures that power golfers will get their kicks, with the fifth hole coming in at 516 yards, the 1fourth measuring 541 and the 16th playing to 548. The round of golf concludes on a relatively shorter par 4 that measures 323 yards.

After a round of golf on the North Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club, head back to the Wildhorse Grille for drinks and a bite to eat.

Not a good value for the money

We played the south course and although it's a decent course, just not a good value for the money.

The Grill

Disappointed in the clubhouse and the restaurant. Not sure if it is temporary but that is what it seems. Also, when I finished at around 5:00 the grill was closed up and couldn't even stop on for a beverage

Not good, especially for Scottsdale area

Course, especially greens, were in terrible condition. Being arated. Course was very flat but wet in many areas to the point it was very difficultnot to chunk your shot. I would not recommend this course, especially while they're under construction.

Aerated greens made it not as great

Usually this course is awesome, but the aerated greens made it not as great this time around. Hopefully in a few weeks it’ll be back to normal

Bad Experience ….

That was pretty much the most boring golf course I've ever played. 18 holes kinda straight. Hardly any traps, no water. Extremely slow game, Marshall present but not intervening. Clubhouse under construction. Pictures on the website do not match reality. Simply too expensive for what is offered.

Hot Deal Worth It

A wide open track but you need some previous play to know where to hit. Fun time. I found a Hot Deal in GN. Don’t know if I’d pay full freight. There’s better courses for the regular fee.

Very very disappointed

First of all, it says nothing on the website or when you book it that it is under construction. The golf clubhouse was on some fold out chairs and garbage picnic tables. They had the kitchen cooking out of a trailer and porta potties for us to use we seen the car girl once in 4 1/2 hours For $250 per player at $1000 round the layout and the condition of the course was equal to any of the Suncity courses I would definitely for this price never play this course again and by the time we got to the 17th hole. It was dark out and we weren’t able to finish , very very disappointed for what the website shows the course looks like and what it really looks like. I was very disappointed on top of having to sit in the parking lot with all the construction with their makeshift clubhouse.
