Talking Stick Resort & Casino

The course is nothing special. In a town surrounded by fantastic courses, this is underwhelming.

The course was in great shape. Very busy and the round was very slow. Didn’t finish last two holes.

Wouldn’t have expected a premium facility to not communicate it was a transition mess. Poor experience for Holiday Tradition because of no communication..

All was great , greens really fast, only complaint the course can’t control is we were paired with another group, one guy really nice the other painfully rude and full of himself .

My brother and law and I had an amazing time playing our first round of desert golf. Course was in awesome shape given December. Location close to the casino made for a great day.

Great pace of play
Tee boxes, fairways and greens excellent shape
Bunkers need more sand
Clubhouse currently under construction, difficult to access restrooms at the turn , you have to wait until the 12th hole

Course not overly challenging as wide and fairly flat, only complaint is no bathroom until hole 13 , tougher on the ladies ! Overall a great day .

This course was awesome, the last time I played on tee boxes, fairways and greens like this was when I was in Cabo and played Quivira. This was a wonderful experience; I will talk about this for a long time. Thank you and hope to see you again.

Super fast greens. Fairways are lush and generous (but I still managed to miss a couple). Greenside bunkers have almost zero loose sand so be prepared to dig hard.

You're always hitting from grass here which is great after playing a dozen courses in the valley with tight fairways and desert runoffs. There's rough everywhere in case you miss the wide fairways.

This was my preferred side of the 2 tracks since there's doglegs and water comes into play on a few holes. If you enjoy hitting driver off the tee and don't have the best control with the driver, play here. 11 was a fun hole - it's a dogleg left with water running along the entire left side. 18 was a fun approach to a tight green with bunkers on the left and water on the right. There are deep bunkers on the sides of the greens of a few par 3's.

Sandwich house at the turn was great, really diverse menu instead of just hot dogs, but I didn't see any signs up on hole 8 or 9 to call in orders, might have been more of an after-round thing. The range before the round was grass not turf.

Staff everywhere was friendly and helpful. My group had slow golfers and we wound up 2 holes behind the group ahead of us at the turn, I informed the ranger of the situation at the turn and asked if we could split off into a twosome which he allowed. We were able to complete the back 9 in under 90 minutes as a result. Thank you.

I golfed the North Course at Talking Stick on Sunday 12/10/23 and it was in great Condition, the greens were fast and true. The Fairways were grown in nicely and the bunkers were playing really well. The only part that wasn't good is the clubhouse being under renovation.

I booked the tee time for December 14th @ 10:36 for $47. & immediately got a text from my bank reporting fraudulent activity. I called the course & they said there was an opening for a single at regular price. I called TeeOff to report this & they said they would investigate as the time did not show on their system. Hello TeeOff Someone is hacking your site
The time still appears today, 3 days later. Good luck losing your money

Play many courses here in Scottsdale: Troon, Gray Hawk, We-Ko-Pa, McCormick Ranch and this was a great value. Only course I would put ahead of it is We-Ko-Pa but that course in $200+. They are building a clubhouse but that did not impact our round so no amenities.
