Talking Stick Golf Club

The Talking Stick Golf Club, designed by the team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, offers two uniquely different courses that each offer many options according to your playing skill.

"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. 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
