Designed by Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf, The Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale was purpose-built to host the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open, and it has done so since 1987. Designed with high drama in mind, the venue is well known as one of the most exciting and fan-friendly in all of golf, which includes a thrilling finishing stretch that begins with the risk-reward 15th hole. The course plays to over 7,200 yards from the tournament tees, but golfers who play the course during their Arizona golf vacation will find the layout has more forgiving fairways than many other area desert courses. The TPC experience includes one of the most encompassing practice areas in the destination, as well as grand clubhouse that includes the Toro Restaurant and Rum Bar. TPC Scottsdale is also home to the Champions Course, which plays out of a separate facility nearby.

Amazing round!! with perfect weather, course, and partners

I have expected this round because this is one of the PGA tour course.

There had been severe rain 2 days ago, however, it was clear on the day. I joined with the other three partners who had good manners, nice play pace, and encouraged each other.

This is the first rounding in U.S. which I played with a caddie. He was funny and talked a lot of useful information to us.

Overall, the course status was fantastic, weather was amazing, and it will be my memorable rounding forever.

Fantastic

The course is in fantastic shape! The bleachers are up right now, So to play the 16th was mind blowing! This is really a 100 dollar course but to get the professional experience it’s gonna cost you another hundred. But totally worth it.

Epic day at TPC Scottsdale Stadium course

It was an incredible day in Scottsdale! Light breeze & the course was in great shape. The second cut of rough was pretty deep - hard to find your ball sometimes. Bring extra balls!

As advertised

Always have to say it is really cool to play a course that the pros play. The course has only been open a week since the summer shutdown and the conditions couldn’t be any better. The greens were smooth and rolled true. The sand was powder and the fairways perfect. 17 is a great risk reward hole because you can either drive the green or end up in the water on the left. 16 is the stadium hole and it really is unrecognizable without the grandstands. It’s a short 150 yard par 3 with nothing to it. 15-18 are really a great finishing set. Was told by the staff that the champions course is the tougher of the two so try and hit that course too.

Exactly

Friendly staff. Expensive, but very nice course. It's in great shape and makes you think to keep it away from trouble. Worst part of the course was the smell of dead fish (saw about 20 floating near the banks)

Disappointed in Scottsdale

Group of 4 buddies on our annual golf weekend came to Scottsdale to play the famed TPC Scottsdale. It was the 3rd and final round of the weekend. We hoped to save the best for last. Boy, were we disappointed. Fairways were punched, soaking wet/mushy and thin everywhere. Greens were perfect, running at 10-11 and rolled true. However, it's a great layout. We played 2 courses prior and both were in fantastic shape, plush fairways, great greens. So we know it wasn't weather conditions that were the problem. Staff asked how we enjoyed our round (as every course does) but they were dismissive, uninterested and flat out angry when we answered their question. Overall a poor experience. Just and FYI. One golfer is a 2.3 HC, and another is 4.5.

Windy windy day made this tough course even tougher. Greens are very challenging. Nice staff. Very helpful. Needed a ranger as group in front of us was playing like the were the last group at the WM Phoenix Open on Sunday! We got ahead of them at the turn but their slow play cost us two holes at the end of the day due to darkness. I enjoyed this course.
