Talking stick is a fun course to play. Offers a bit of everything and is very well taken care of. You are able to have fun here if you are a beginner or a veteran golfer. The reason for 3 stars and not more is simply because I think there are simply better options within the same price point.
The service was great and everyone was very friendly. They have a great clubhouse and the course is very forgiving. I had a blast playing here but I felt that the quality of course increased as my trip went on. The greens were in great shape and were very hard and dry as were the fairways so your ball just rolled forever giving a nice jolt of confidence as you stand there with your chest puffed out admiring your drive.
I would definitely recommend this course just try to find a deal on the price.
