The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The more parkland, tree-lined and water-touched of Talking Stick’s two Coore & Crenshaw courses — straightforward and accessible enough that it is often recommended for less-experienced players. Architecture fans call it flat and repetitive and prefer the sister O’odham.
Consistently praised
- An approachable, fair layout with tree-lined fairways and good conditioning.
- Strategic green sites and falloffs reward thoughtful play over power.
Worth knowing
