Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
About
The Talking Stick Golf Club features two golf courses designed by the architecture team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, who created distinct golf courses with enough choices to accommodate all levels of golfers. The golf club sits on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community reservation, a spot that provides the serenity necessary to endure a testing day of golf.
"Talking Stick's O'odham (formerly known as North Course) course, with its broad, angular holes rewards thoughtful play through the rise of its many options according to one's level of skill. Its low-profile, slightly crowned greens and close-cropped approaches encourage running as well as aerial assaults." -- Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
The second hole is a par 5 that measures 552 yards from the Black tee and is one of two long holes, with the 17th being a par 5 that plays to 582 yards from the Black tees.
The 18th hole on the O'odham Course at the Talking Stick Golf Club is shorter, relatively speaking, a par 4 that measures 471 yards from the Black tees.

Course was in nice shape. Challenging pin positions.
Definitely want to play it again.
Golf with my sons
Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Enjoyed the scenery and wildlife during the round.
Talking Stick North
Have been coming to the valley since the late 80’s and knowing when Talking Stick opened up in the late 90’s I’m surprised that this was my first play here.
Played the North Course. Very enjoyable, great shape and speed of play was excellent. My pet peeve is slow play so I welcome rounds like this.
I’ll be back!
Thanks,

Marshalls have bad attittudes.
Our cart died 100 yards after teeing off on first hole. So, by the time they got a new cart out to us we were 35 minutes behind on time. After getting new cart, 3 different Marshalls came up to us to tell us we were behind on time as we tried to catch back up. All 3 had very bad attitudes and didn't want to hear the reason why we were behind.
The first time someone in our group hit a ball into the so called rough (nothing but gravel and weeds) a Marshall came up telling us to just throw down a ball because we were holding up play and made a sarcastic statement that if he we didn't have balls, he could get us some. This pretty much ruined our day of getting out to play golf.
Also, want to state that we paid $200+ each to play a course that if the ball went off of the fairway 2ft it was in unmanaged weeds, or the ground was rutted out from water so bad that you couldn't play from where the ball laid.
Overall: horrible treatment of guest and course management. I will not play or recommend this course to anyone.
Overall good conditions. Couple of greens with a lot of hallmarks not repaired. Slower pace of play at 4:35 hrs.
A good time had, however...
The staff was friendly and the course conditions were very good. However, I am disappointed that I had to pay a considerable amount of money for my son and me in advance, only to find out during the check-in process that there was construction going on at the clubhouse and bathrooms. If I had known this beforehand, I would not have booked at this time.
Well managed and great condition
Club house going through extensive remodeling but course in great shape. I know pace a play hard to predict, but p,aged in a little over 4 hours.
Beautiful course
Beautiful course
No indoor washrooms and restaurant open yet due to renovations. Hopefully next time
Wide open fairway and peaceful course
I was enjoyed very much.
Golf course is well maintained and so beautiful place to play golf. Staffs are very friendly too.
Underwhelmed!!
Not impressed with the course friendliness. Fairways and greens great condition but wouldn’t play again due to staff rudeness. Starter not helpful at all. No idea of flag position. Underwhelmed!!
Nice course with poor customer service
The starter was not helpful at all. No instruction what so ever on pin placement or facilities. We called into the clubhouse during our round and were told there were no restrooms on the course. Course was lovely but would not play again due to customer service.
