Talking Stick Golf Club (Piipaash)

Overview: Piipaash Course at Talking Stick Golf Club is a public Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design in Scottsdale, Arizona. The course combines a parkland-style routing with desert views, using eucalyptus and cottonwood along the holes, raised greens and bunkers to frame a strategic aerial game.

History: Piipaash was created as the more conventional companion to Talking Stick’s Oodham Course. The official course material identifies Coore and Crenshaw as designers and notes that Piipaash was formerly known as the South Course.

Did You Know? The course’s official name reflects the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, which owns Talking Stick Golf Club and gives the two courses their cultural setting.
