About the Course
Talking Stick Golf Club's O'odham Course brings links-style golf to the Arizona desert in a unique and compelling way. Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore on Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community land, the course features wide fairways, minimal rough, and strategic bunkering that encourages creative shotmaking. The firm, fast conditions reward running approaches and links-style ground game—unusual for Arizona golf. The O'odham offers a dramatically different experience from the target-style desert courses, making it essential playing for visitors who want to experience the full range of Scottsdale golf. The value is exceptional for the quality delivered.
