Talking Stick Golf Club — O'odham Course

Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw took a dead-flat piece of Salt River Pima-Maricopa land with almost no natural features and built two completely different courses from it. The O'odham is the links-inspired one — firm, fast, built for the ground game. Wide fairways with subtle contours reward players who think about where the ball will bounce, not just where it lands. The architecture crowd considers it the superior of the two Talking Stick layouts, and at $$ pricing it's one of the best values in Scottsdale.
