Talking Stick (O’odham)
Talking Stick Golf Club (O’odham course; formerly North course): With its Scottish links styling, and an absence of perimeter-hugging real estate, Talking Stick's O’odham course offers something a bit different from the more typical golf and residential developments found in Scottsdale.
This thoroughly absorbing and wonderfully challenging Coore-Crenshaw layout is located on the flattish terrain of a Native-American reservation. The generous fairways extend to the cart paths, without thick and clinging rough to worry about. Small bushes, rather than trees, create classic linksy openess, but don't imagine that this will make things any less challenging.
Your shot-making requires accurate approach work to hit the smallish greens, which are usually strongly defended by plenty of deep bunkering. Out of bounds is a factor on some of the early holes. A real Scottsdale treat, and something a bit different from the norm.

Talking Stick is located on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation. Two different meanings are ascribed to the name "talking stick". One is that a stick was used by the local Pima tribe to record important events, such as harvests, droughts, solar eclipses and festivals. The other is that a stick was passed around at tribal meetings to the person who wanted to speak.
Talking Stick formerly played host to the PGA Tour Qualifying School (in 1998 and 1999).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
