For a "walk that's easy" on the feet and the wallet, Talking Stick South's "wide", tree-lined "desert" sister is "somewhat flat compared with other Scottsdale courses" and "not too pricey"; noting the the five year old "needs a lot of maturity", old-timers gulping firewater in the Native American-themed clubhouse opine that it "may grow up someday", though there might not be as much hope for the "stuck-up" staff.

Profile: This facility is located in the East Valley near Phoenix and features two eighteen hole courses. 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, which is 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 cottonwoods and hardwoods. An expansive learning center and clubhouse is also available.
