Played Talking Stick North today. This course is much tougher than it may look. The fairways were decent size and there is no real rough HOWEVER this is a desert course. If you miss the fairway you can pretty much be guaranteed that you will be under a tree/bush, behind a tree/bush OR you may not find it at all. If you can stay in the fairway you have a good chance at a good score.

The greens were like grass. On this day the greens weren't filled out yet and there is A LOT of break on pretty much every green. The bunkers were pretty good although I was in one that was more mud than sand. Most of the greens are pretty well guarded by bunkers so make sure to take enough club but not too much because the greens were pretty firm - at least today.

The range was outstanding, the cart girls were making their rounds with regularity. All in all I would recommend this course and plan to play again hopefully with better results than I had today.

Drove all the way from AZ to play an afternoon round and was not disappointed. The elevation changes on this course are remarkable. Many elevated tee boxes and a few uphill holes. Don't be fooled by the short par 4's, while they appear to be pretty easy, any one of the MANY mature trees will jump out and take a bite out of your ball. The tee boxes were a bit of a disaster, very uneven, lots of divot marks (especially on the Par 3's) which make it tough to get a good stance. The fairways were in very good shape and the rough was long and lush, which makes you pay for not keeping the ball in the fairway. When you go make sure to park in the parking lot on the left, they do not allow carts in the parking lot and it can be long walk. The snack bar is GREAT (I recommend the breakfast burrito). There was no cart service during our round and there aren't many water coolers on the course. I strongly recommend this course for any player (beginner to advanced)!!! Definitely worth the green fee!! Enjoy

played an afternoon round and the winds stayed down... as always, the course was in phenomenal shape... a great thing about this course is it does offer you opportunities for "good misses"... the fairway traps do come into play so make sure you hit your targets... the greens were in good shape but it would be appreciated if people would fix their ball marks - EVERYONE PASS THE WORD!!! Cart girl was around often and was always friendly... the one issue today was the pace of play... on the #4 Par 3, we were the 3rd group to be waiting to tee off... marshall said pace would pick up since a tournament was over but didn't see a change until 16th hole... i really enjoy Sierra Lakes and all it has to offer... it provides a very good challenge and it very well maintained... highly recommended..

Played 9 holes on a Friday afternoon... I hadn't played this course in a very, very long time and I have not heard glowing reviews... Needless to say I was very, very happy with the course... the rough was just that rough... the rough was long adn deep but it was more "weedy" then "grassy"... the fairways were in good shape as were the greens... the sand traps were a little hard and could've used more sand... the pace of play was very good... it got a little breezy in the afternoon and with the breeze came the SMELL... the SMELL, coming of the current and long gone dairies can get to some so be prepared... If it's not breezy you most likely won't have any smell... I recommend this course, especially for $15 to play nine holes... it was worth the money and the course exceeded my expectations...

Teed off about 12:30p on Thursday... Pace of play was good... The course is being worked on, there were a lot of roped off areas keeping carts on the cart path (which isn't a bad thing)... Fairways were a little thin and the rough has quite a few bare spots... Greens were in very good condition... Overall this is a challenging course... the course is not flat and there is a fair amount of water... there are a lot of houses so make sure to hit it straight off the tee... trees lining the course are mature which makes you pay for errant tee shots... I paid $29 for my round which is well worth it.. i recommend this course and, appreciate the work that is being done to improve the condition of the course... finally, the cart girl made it around to us 3 times in 3 1/2 hours... good customer service...

Not Recommended!! Teed off a little before 2p and knew it would be a little slow but HOLY COW!! The course has a decent layout but is in desparate need of significant TLC. Pace of play was horrendous!! I saw a marshall on the course a number of times but did not once see him speak to anyone, even us!!! Tee boxes, greens, fairways, and rough was the worse I've ever played. The course layout is a little confusing since it appears that they have made adjustments to accomodate construction. Customer service was terrible as well. All in all I can't find anything positive to say about Green River. Save your money and go somewhere else!!!

Really enjoyed the course... it has a lot of sand traps, especially in the fairways....greens were in very good shape... course presents many challenges to include water on a number of holes... Number 16 is a short Par 4 with a peninsula green... fairways can narrow at times... there are some great undulations on the fairways... there are a couple of places where they have made "grass walls"... this is a very good course that will challenge all golfers... you can't just grab your driver for every hole because length is not the determiner for a good score, hitting your target it... I strongly recommend this quality course... will definitely play again!!!

This course is short but very challenging!!! There are a few split fairwarys and to include three fairways that you either have to layup or try to muscle up. The greens were in good shape and overall so was the course. This is a desert course so you really have to keep in in the fairway otherwise you are ending up in the rocks, which is bad for your clubs. Another challenge with this course is the wind, It can really whip up. At times I was hitting a 4 iron from 160 - 175 yards. Although the course, in total, is short, the Par 3's are all pretty long, especially with the wind.

Service is pretty good. I teed off at 6:42a and still saw the cart girl 3 times. Also, the course had a ranger out who patrolled the course to maintain pace of play. We finished in under 4 hours. I strongly recommend this course, especially for the money.

Played Sunday 4/10... Course played well, greens were soft, especially since we had a lot of rain the day before... Fairways in great shape... Rough was pretty thin, but pretty common for the winter time... The pins on the Par 5's were all back which made the three tiered #3 very difficult, especially if you got on the bottom of the green... There is water on number of holes with many up hill and down hill holes... Course managment comes into play on this course... The sand in the bunkers, of which I hit on each of the final 4 holes, is a little inconsistent, sometimes it was very thick other times it is pretty thin... The course is entirely self contained, from the 16th hole you can look back over the entire course... Well worth the money!!!

This is a great pitch/putt course. It has two "long" holes (about 200 yards) but the majority of the holes are meant for PW and putter. There are two holes that you have to hit over a creek to the green. The greens are primarly table top with lots of undulations. This is a great course to work on your short game. This course is also great for beginners. My wife played, she is brand new to golf, and enjoyed it as well. The views are remarkable and make it very enjoyable. Strongly recommend this course.

Played on 4/7 with an early tee time (6:45a). Completed our round in 3 1/2 hours which was great. Course was in great shape!! Course was challenging and although there were houses on the course they were all pretty far back so never much of a concern. Rough was long, which penalized you if you went too deep. Greens were in good shape, not too firm or too soft. There were a number of water holes. Even though it was early and somewhat cold cart girl was still on the course. One thing to beware of is the wind! The wind will punish you when it is blowing, so make sure the weather is right. All in all a very nice course well worth the $40 I paid. Definitely recommend this course and will play it again.

Outstanding course!! The course was in great shape. The greens, tee boxes, and fairways were phenomenal. The rough was thin but it is winter in Arizona and the rough is not overseeded. The range is in a bit of an awkward place - you have to go past the first tee box - but it is laid out great!! The range, chipping green, sand trap, and putting green are all right together. The layout of the course is good. We played the blues so there were times when it was a bit of a walk to the tee box from the cart path. There are A LOT of fairway sand traps. A number of them force you to hit a very good drive to carry them. The sand in the traps is soft so you better be on your game. The greens roll true and are good speed. There are very few flat, straight putts. Attendants meet you in the parking lot to pick up your clubs and ride out to the parking lot after your round so you don't have to carry them to the car, and they bring the cart back. Great experience, great course, great staff!!! Can't wait to play there again!!
