Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw have created and designed the Talking Stick Golf Club. Two uniquely different courses offer many options according to the golfer’s level of playing skill. Located on and owned by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Native American Community, the North and South courses blend with their tranquil desert surroundings.

The North Course offers broad, angular holes. Its low-profile, slightly crowned greens and close-cropped approaches encourage running as well as aerial assaults.

The South Course offers tree-lined fairways and raised greens at the sides providing a more straightforward style of play.

Talking Stick Golf Club’s 17,000 square feet practice facility is one of the best in the valley. The course boasts a practice putting green that exceeds. The driving range tee pad is 150 yards wide and nearly 50 yards deep, so any time of the year the turf should be some of the best around. The range exceeds 360 yards.

Greens: Tifdwarf Bermuda (Summer), Poa Trivialis (Winter)
Fairways: Tifway 419 Bermuda (Summer), Perennial Rye (Winter)
