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."
