PART 1 of 2
-------
Playing nearly 7,200 yards to a par 70, this Coore & Crenshaw design is a lay of the land “links” style course. Featuring wide fairways, no rough, and plenty of bunkers, this course really tests a golfer’s accuracy and approach game. Subtle greens, surrounded by short grass make any up-and-down a challenge.
The O’odham Course (formerly known as the North Course) at the Talking Stick Golf Club is located at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is the annual site of the Scottsdale AZ Open, who’s recent winners include PGA TOUR player Joel Dahmen!
Another fun golf activity at the resort is TopGolf, which you can see off in the distance beyond the 1st green.

Brother, I love your move toward the ball! I had the same issue as you losing balls to the right, I shortened my wedge swing and have seen incredible results. I have never swung ‘full’ at a wedge the last few years and have minimized my proximity a ton from 140 and in. Keep posting, big fan!

[@robbstone1660]

How are there not more subscribers!? Really nice vlogs. The commentary, shot tracer, and course overlay...great mixture.

[@TerminatorGolf]

Thanks so much Robb! I’m fairly new to YT...tell your friends!! There’s plenty more content to come!

[@hoselpalooza1254]

one of the best quality golf vlogs on youtube. i'm astonished you only have 237 subs at this time.

[@TerminatorGolf]

Hoselpalooza Thank you so much for the support. I hope we can keep growing and growing, as I have much more content coming!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Solid golf ⛳️. Nice work. I like your flyovers on the right. Nice touch

[@TerminatorGolf]

Lets Play Thru Thank you sir! I’m a maps nerd 🤗

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

Desert distance again! You were flying the ball out there! Another solid start to the round. I could put all your bad shots together and have a pretty decent round! Great vid!

[@TerminatorGolf]

Chili Dippa Golf It was unbelievable how far everything was flying out there in the heat. Hopefully I won’t have too much of an adjustment when coming down South!

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

@@TerminatorGolf I'm sure that ball will still go far in Bama! Can't wait to see it in person!

[@GregKortmanGolf]

That looks like an awesome course. You said wide fairways, I was thinking they look narrow! 😬. Most fairways are narrow for me, tho. 😂 What a putt on #4! ...but then #5? Nice front 9! 👊 I enjoyed the video!

[@TerminatorGolf]

Greg Kortman Golf thanks Greg! Amazing how a long one can drop and then a short one misses right afterwardsb

[@TheGolfClan]

I’ve heard about this course but haven’t seen it before. It didn’t disappoint. Love Coore & Crenshaw. You’ve been playing some unbelievably good golf courses 👏🏼👏🏼 that par save on 4 was 🔥🔥🔥

[@TerminatorGolf]

@Dougie Barnard Thank you! Always nice to roll in a long one for a sandy par. This is the first Coore & Crenshaw I’ve played, and although subtle, there certainly was a good amount of strategy built into a rather wide golf course.

[@TerminatorGolf]

@Dougie Barnard Just you wait....after we finish up the Back 9 out here...I’m saving the “best” for last 😜

[@TheGolfClan]

@@TerminatorGolf let's go!! Yes I noticed the wide fairways but also the nuances around the greens that make it challenging. There's so many Coore & Crenshaw courses on my list!

[@BlueDayDo]

You sound like the announcer from "Jelle's Marble Runs".

[@MilesMartinGolf]

Video looks so good. Looking forward to your colab with @desert_golfer and @doubledogleg.

[@HartlingBrosGolf]

That course's condition looks awesome! Those desert courses are fun to play. Is that in Arizona?

[@TerminatorGolf]

Hartling Bros Golf Yes, this is in Scottsdale, AZ. Sooo much golf out there to choose from!!

[@thehairygolfer]

Amazing playing, long and straight is such a dangerous combination.

[@TerminatorGolf]

The Hairy Golfer On the days I have it, that combination is deadly!

[@thehairygolfer]

@@TerminatorGolf It's so nice using the middle of the bat. When I can hit 12 fairways and the 2 misses are only a couple of yards then I go low. There is nothing better.

[@TerminatorGolf]

@The Hairy Golfer it’s amazing how effortless good golf really is....makes you think why we all go thru all the mental crap, when really having a sense of “letting go” will really promote better play

[@thehairygolfer]

@@TerminatorGolf It's effortless when you are well practiced. Sadly I'm not at the moment. Was dark by 7pm so not much golf after work now until April. We mananged 12 in 2 hours so not bad. Rob lost his ball on 12 as it was so dark LOL

[@TerminatorGolf]

The Hairy Golfer Same here. Weekday golf is very few and far between for myself...making use of those weekends!!

[@GolfFunatics]

nice par save on hole 4. Do you know the people you're playing with?

[@TerminatorGolf]

@Golf Funatics 1 of them, yes...the other 2 we were paired up with

[@TalkingGolf]

the intro, the animations are soooooo good, makes me motivated to also look into making something cool haha, where do you get the animations for the flyover fairway from?

[@TerminatorGolf]

@Harper Golf Thanks for the ❤️! I create all the animations myself, using Google Earth Pro.

[@midnightwrit3ers]

Hey there. I am headed to Arizona next week and plan to get a couple rounds of golf in. I am a college student as well so I cannot just go to super fancy courses. Do you have any recommendations on where to go that is nice relative to price? Looking for something between the 30-40$ range. Also, I would not be opposed to walking 9 holes so I can get good rates in the morning.

[@TerminatorGolf]

The Phoenix/Scottsdale area is pretty expensive this time of year, even for the “munis”....a really good cheaper course I’ve played is Papago. ASU moved their golf facility there, and it’s a very very nice public course on the lower end of the $$ spectrum. You’d be best to save a little money, and be ready to spend about $100 on a round of golf. Grand Canyon University Golf Course is normally pretty reasonable too....check UnderPar.com...there’s normally REALLY good deals on that site!

[@midnightwrit3ers]

@@TerminatorGolf perfect. I appreciate it. Love the vlogs btw. I also noticed that the twilight times are ridiculously cheap. 25$ for a round of 18 with a cart included at 3 pm at Legacy Golf course.

[@TerminatorGolf]

That’s essentially a 9 hole rate, so not too bad!

[@austincosgrove3476]

Great vid. I'm planning on playing there in a couple weeks. What's your advice on difference in carry? I play around sea level so I'm thinking add 5-10 yds to normal distance.

[@TerminatorGolf]

It was pretty significant, about 10%, as I was out there in the dead of July! Possibly a little less during the cooler months.

[@mannymartin8229]

What was your favorite AZ course? TPC, Talking Stick, or Grey Hawk.

[@TerminatorGolf]

Of the 3, I’d have to say TPC. The conditions and the course were fantastic

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Love the format of the video, very interesting. Great player man, do you ever play pro ams?

[@TerminatorGolf]

The Backyard Golfer I don’t, no. I’m thinking I may start playing tournaments again starting in 2021...it’s been years since I’ve played tournament golf

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Terminator Golf you would definitely be ready for it 👍

[@TerminatorGolf]

The Backyard Golfer My game probably....my 🧠, different story 😬

[@ForetoFourGolf]

Another solid nine buddy, well played! What is your handicap, you are always around par!

[@TerminatorGolf]

@Fore to Four Golf Thank you sir! I’ve been around scratch for a few years now...currently sitting at +0.2!

[@ForetoFourGolf]

Terminator Golf that really isn’t surprising given the way you moose the ball off the tee!
