TPC Scottsdale - The Stadium Course

Had a great time. Having a forecaddie added a lot to the experience.

Played with my brother for his bachelor party. We booked the first twilight tee time as we flew in earlier that day. Paid about $110 and we played through one group on the front nine & basically had the course to ourselves. Holes 15-18 we hit multiple shots as there was no one behind us. When the stands aren't up 16 is a pretty average par 3, but 15 & 17 are a lot of fun.
Fairways were immaculate, were cut tight & were like trampolines off the drive.
As a bucket list course where the PGA plays a lot of fun but for anything around peak season rate tough pill to swallow.

Paired up with a father and two sons from Florida The course was different from the champions course I played a few years back. I would recommend both. The Stadium course played fair The greens were true and fast, the white sand a brilliant white, was perfect. I was in the sand four times , I am only an average sand player but found that only a thin layer of sand needed to be taken to have a good chance of making a good recovery. We played from the blues which for me as a 9/10 handicapper was fair . The 16th the famous par three was a really good par three. I hit the front bunker but I did not hear any boos! Made a good recovery and dropped a 6 foot putt for par Three pars and a bogey in the group made a good hole great! The 17th is a drivable hole Watch out for the water long and left. The clubhouse and pro shop are stunning,.The. 18th hole is framed by the back drop of the clubhouse and surrounding mountain ranges. They had some good deals on golf shirts and apparel. The service in the grill was poor . The food was worth the wait. Try the spicy wings and calamari as a snack. The staff appeared zoned out. It took 30 mins for the staff to come and process the bill.
However play TPC as your first round in Phoenix There are more scenic courses. Few maybe have the cache!

Only bad thing is that they should not sell a 3 pm tee time knowing you could not finish 18 holes.
Felt taken advantage of on that aspect

Fantastic course, staff, and amenities! Well worth the money!

PGA Experience for the moderate golfer, this course was amazing. GPS built into the carts, great conditions, just amazing all around.

Booked as a single thru Golfnow day before for 7am. Greeted at bag drop by friendly staff, went to top class practice facility, tee time moved up earlier. Paired up with another single and finished round in 2 hours and 45 minutes. Had to take extra time on 16 to imagine playing it with the grandstands and thousands of people watching. Overall the best golfing experience ever, kudos to the staff at Toro restaurant as well.

this is a nice course, it has some challenging holes and plays longer than it says.

Great golf course and worth the experience of pga golf course. Pace of play was just too slow.

Really enjoyed the course. Very long par 4's from
the tips as well as par 5's. Would definitely play again.
There staff was great!

This was not the first time I played the Stadium course, but the first since they made the changes.

You must play this course. In the 11 courses I played in the Pheonix area, it ranks a very very close second to Quintero (which is out of this world).

This round will hurt your wallet, but it is worth it. World class range, world class layout, world class conditions. I played from the tips, shot an 80 and was still happy with my round. 14th is one of the toughest hole I played ever.

Do not hesitate to play here

Except for the pace of play the round was most enjoyable. The marshall was on top of the problem and kept us informed as to the situation. The entire staff was courteous and helpful and we could not have asked for more. It was a great course to play and we hope to play it again.

Poor value. Play both courses at Wildfire for the same money. Breakfast was very good for the price. Practice facility very nice. Very slow pace of play, on course assistant just made excuses for the slow group.

Course was in pretty good shape, but let's cut to the chase - this is not one of the best courses in Scottsdale. It has the cache of hosting the rowdiest event on the PGA Tour and as such, is able to command fees WAY in excess of the fun to be had (truth be told, the sibling Champions Course is a far more fun day out, with fewer vanilla holes).

I like (liked) to check the place out once every year or so and was especially interested to see some of the recent changes. Course is pretty much as it was - the most clear change (for me) was the big move of the 4th green.

Still the same old fairly flat track, with a few nice holes on the back 9.

Unfortunately, this time out was a big let down as far as pace of play went. We had some hackers playing the tips in front of us, which in of itself doesn't always mean a bad day out. However, this 4some would all drive out to 1 drive - 200 yards out - then all drive out to the next - 220 yards out - then drive back to player 3's ball - at 180 out - before they all migrated to the last players ball. Rinse and repeat. No player assistant and when I called the pro-shop, got a terse "the assistant pro is out there, talk to him". Woeful attitude - I assume because we "only" paid $80 a head to play this banal track.

At $80 a pop, this course would be worth a 1-time run. At $80 a pop and this pace of play and attitude from the staff, skip it. For less $, you'll get a better course and significantly better service at Grayhawk, Wildfire, Troon North, Kierland (and air-conditioned carts!).

Great track. Not a bucket lister but fine desert golf in great shape!

This is a top notch golf course. Challenging but doesn't over do it. Loved playing here. The staff both at the golf course and restaurant were awesome. Got paired up with another twosome and had a great round

I have been to Scotland and a bit around the country and none rival the shape the course was in. Not saying its as good of a course as the top end ones in teh USA and world, but the conditions were mint.

The greens were smooth, green and had a perfect roll (played late May). The sand was a perfect white with the right about of crispness for clean bunker shots, whether in the fairway or green side. The tee boxes and fairways were meticulous.

I was a huge fan. I liked the mix of easy and hard. We played the 1 up tees and I thought it was fair. I actually played the front better. The back I thought was easier with 2 par 5's and some short holes that i felt were open (outside of 11, which was really tough), but I just didnt score.

Either way, I highly recommend if making a trip.

I played with my son who played the back tees. The course was in great shape. The front nine was a little more open than the back nine. On the back nine you had to hit the ball good to have nice angles to the greens. The greens were very fast but rolled very good. Tee boxes and fairways were great. Would recommend this course to be played by anybody.

Well maintained facility. Course changes made it more challenging. Greens were fast and true.

If you love golf then this is an absolute must experience. I played in early May and the course conditions were perfect. The range was nothing special but the putting green is an experience all on its own. Your ball glides along a smooth layer of grass without a bump. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The rough was cut short and was easy to get of.
I played from the back tees. The front nine is tough. Long holes with greens that are tough to hit and hold. The back nine is the really fun part of the course. Holes 15,16 and 17 are incredible. I shot 37 on the back and then 45 on the front.
Tips:
If your squeamish about the price I recommend booking the twilight. They start off the back nine so you won't miss out on the famous holes. I was lucky enough to finish but your not missing much if you miss the last few holes. You end up saving about $90.
