Talking Stick Golf Club

Hey fellow golf enthusiasts! If you’re ever in Scottsdale and looking for a top-notch golfing experience, you've got to swing by Talking Stick Golf Club. Nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, this place isn’t just about golf; it’s a slice of golfing paradise with a backdrop that’ll have you reaching for your camera between shots.

Talking Stick presents two beautifully distinct courses, each designed by the legendary duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw back in the early '90s. Whether you tee off on the O'odham Course or take on the Piipaash Course, you’re in for a treat. The O'odham’s 3rd hole, a challenging par 4 with strategic bunkering, will test your accuracy and strategy. And let’s not forget the Piipaash Course’s 16th, where a large water hazard makes it a thrilling par 3 that demands precision.

For those hitting these links for the first time, here’s a pro tip: keep it accurate. The natural desert landscape is beautiful but unforgiving. Those bunkers and native brush are just waiting to challenge your game, so better to play it safe than sorry!

Talking Stick is more than just golf; it’s a resort experience with all the trimmings, including a casino and great dining right on site. So, grab your clubs, and I’ll see you on the green!
