Talking Stick Golf Club - Piipaash

Scottsdale, Arizona

The Talking Stick Golf Club, next to the Talking Stick Casino in Scottsdale, Arizona, was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Owned by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, the North and South golf courses are two uniquely different courses that provide a serene yet challenging memorable day of play for golfers of all skill levels. Both courses were given four and a half stars by Golf Digest in 2012; the same year, Golfweek Magazine gave Talking Stick the award for Best Resort Courses. The South Course offers a traditional, Midwest-style layout, filled with trees and flowing streams. This is the course you see as you pass through Talking Stick's front gates. The South's first tee is next to the driving range. The South Course, being more generous off the tee than the North, provides more challenging second shots into the greens. The greens are smaller, elevated and defended by deep bunkers, and the fairways are lined with trees.
