Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash Course

...I hate cart-path only and today that was required...brutal in the heat.

I would not waste your money on this course. It is a resort type of course wide fairway and no personality. Also, there was no notice that they had the driving range and putting green closed. For the money I paid everything should have been top notch.

Played for $72 including unlimited range balls.Course immaculate and very playable. Service outstanding. Only negative was super slow bermuda greens. Had 84 with 4 three putts that didnt even reach the hole. Played in 3 hours as a twosome and didnt see another person playing all day.

Good golf day today despite the rude and unfriendly Starter! Not sure why, but NOT one of the staff including cart and range as well as the proshop staff were smiling or friendly. Clubhouse and all areas of parking are under contstruction and the only facility up and running was the snack shack which is where the makeshift proshop is set up. Course was still, however in great condition, greens and fairways were the best part. Bunkers need some more sand but overall were in average and playable condition. I would advise the Head Pro and owners to re-evaluate all staff positions and/or make them go through training to become more attentive and professional to the golf patrons who are paying a lot of money to golf at their golf course. With all of the choices for golf competing with this golf course I would say on the whole the course and staff combined get 2.5 stars :(

The course was fast and pretty forgiving. I would definitely play again.

Greens recently cored. Should have been discounted price or atleast mentioned when booking.

Greens recently aerated so did not roll true. Course looked like it needed water. But to be fair it is August in Arizona so a little dry looking could be expected

This course is long and wide open. The fairways and greens are very well maintained. I found it to be very forgiving allowing a chance to recover from an errant shot. Check out their player development program for very reasonable green fees late in the day when it gets cooler in the fall. Beautiful sunsets. People are very gracious. Can’t wait to see the new club house once completed. Respectfully.

We played the O’odham course. There is major construction on the clubhouse, check-in and bathrooms are trailers next to the parking lot. The major inconvenience is the first bathroom on the course is on the 12th hole.

The fairways were very lush, greens still recovering for aeration - a little slow and fuzzy. There is a big yardage gap for the forward tees. It would be nice to have a jade-rust combo.

So many of the holes played the same - distance, layout, hazards, etc. I can’t recall any hole that was memorable or unique because they were all so similar, with nothing special about any of them

The front side went well, but the last 7 holes took forever. We were playing as a fivesome!

Course is in great condition and the clubhouse is under construction, so I am not penalizing on the rating as the temporary amenities accommodate. Staff is great.
