Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, together as a design team, have created the magic of Talking Stick Golf Club. Two uniquely different Arizona golf courses offer many options according to the golfer’s level of playing skill. Located on and owned by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, the North and South courses provide a serene yet challenging day of play.  "Whichever course one chooses or prefers, it was our desire to portray golf in a traditional sense, which quietly merges with its tranquil desert surroundings." 

North Course: “Talking Stick’s North course, with its broad, angular holes rewards thoughtful play through the rise of its many options according to one’s level of skill. Its low-profile, slightly crowned greens and close-cropped approaches encourage running as well as aerial assaults.” - Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw

South Course: “The South course, with its tree-lined fairways and raised greens defended at the sides offers a more straightforward style of play.” - Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw

Greens: Tifdwarf Bermuda (Summer), Poa Trivialis (Winter)

Fairways: Tifway 419 Bermuda (Summer), Perennial Rye (Winter)
