Talking Stick Golf Club’s North Course in Scottsdale, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw in 1997, is a public 18-hole layout with a links-inspired design. At 7,133 yards with a slope of 130, it features wide fairways, minimal bunkering, and firm greens, set in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

The North Course plays with strategic openness, encouraging aggressive drives but requiring precise approaches to subtle greens. The par-3s, like the 12th, test accuracy, while the par-5s offer risk-reward opportunities. With public access and excellent conditioning, Talking Stick North is a favorite for golfers seeking a links-style desert experience.
