Talking Stick North Golf Course has been ranked either first or second among the top courses in the state of Arizona for four consecutive years.

The North Course, designed by legendary former Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, is a Scottish links-style layout with thick rough and clever and deep bunkering.

Crenshaw designed its broad, angular holes to reward thoughtful play through the rise of its many options according to skill levels. Its low-profile, slightly crowned greens and close-cropped approaches encourage running as well as aerial assaults.

Any visiting golfer to score a Hole-in-One at Talking Stick will be presented with a commemorative flag and featured on the club's Hole-in-One Club webpage.
