Talking Stick Golf Club was designed and created by gentle Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore. The Talking Stick facility consists of 36 holes of championship golf on the Talking Stick North and South Courses. This facility is located in the East Valley near the 101 Fwy. in Scottsdale. The links-style North Course is a refreshing minimalist design that features wide fairways void of any trees, strategic bunkering, native grasses and unobstructed views. The North Course, located on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, offers players the chance to run their shots. The greens are open, the fairways wide, and the roughly carved bunkers look as if they've been there for hundreds of years. "GOLFWEEK" selected the North Course 82nd among "America's 100 Best Modern Courses" for 1999. The South Course features subtle elevation changes, fingered bunkers and heavily-treed landscaping of native hardwoods and cottonwoods. An expansive learning center and clubhouse is also available on your Scottsdale golf vacation at Talking Stick!
