TPC Scottsdale - The Stadium Course

Great course the greens were a bit too firm and didn't hold shots in. A must play

Great Challenge w/ a lot of slopes and specific targets on greens. Risk rewards keep it interesting all the way around.

What a great experience to finally hit a TPC course and what not better than the famous TPC Scottsdale. "tiger woods famous 16th hole in one"! We're from Minnesota and we love traveling to AZ every year to golf. Golf the stadium! High priced, but worth the story and unbelievable golf.

What a awesome place to play .the starter was very personable and energetic . The course in unbelievable everything nice and green. And the price I got from golf now what a bargin

This is a tough track, even from the whites. The required forecaddy is a godsend, saving shots and balls. You must drive it well to score but even then, that's no guarantee of a good number. Lots of traps and terrain changes make this one of the hardest courses in the valley. Very pricey but highly recommended for better players. Higher handicaps will struggle.

Golf now is the best. I was visiting Arizona for the first time. I really wanted to play TPC Scottsdale but the 300 dollar price tag was not in my golf budget. I have played at Torrey, Pinehurst #2, and many other fine courses. Never payed more than 200. I just can not justify paying 4.00 every time I hit the ball. You do the math. I checked golf now and got a rate of 99 for a noon tee time. WOW. It was 80 degrees with a light breeze. Perfect. The course is everything you think it is. The rough is a penalty, the greens are true and fast, the sand is soft , and the fairways are fantastic. I did not get booed at the 16th. Birdie on that hole, a little less pressure with no beer containers being thrown your way. 16th is the easiest hole on the course. Any ball not sticking on the green is a tough fight back onto the putting surface. Lots of rough and tough lies surrounding the greens. Overall great course, thanks to golf now I got to check one more course off my wish list.

It was an honor to play on a PGA, TPC course. The only way I could have played the course was thru Golf Now @ a discounted rate. Just knowing I was putting on the same greens as the professionals just a month or so ago was an awesome adventure.

Played the Stadium course and enjoyed it very much. Many of the gallery structures erected for the WM Phoenix Open were still in place, even the structure around the famous 16th hole. It was totally cool to play the course. Course conditions were excellent. Bunkers filled with sugar white sand. Whole course was beautifully manicured.
Several holes were cart path only, so it involved some walking. The sand bottles on my cart were empty.
The starter, Ken, got us started earlier than our booked tee time which was great because we were able to get all 18 holes played before it got too dark.
This is a course that's worthy of being a golf cathedral.

I played Stadium it was great problem is when you buy a prepaid tee time with GolfNow they don''t put the amount on the receipt - just paid in full. When I do my expenses it is a problem. Eventually you can get a receipt but it takes MUCH time.

A lot of activity on the course due to the upcoming waste management tournament. I couldn't appreciate the change in course design because it was my first time playing. Greens had a nice speed. Staff was courteous, polite and informative.

When we golfed the weather was absolutely miserable. This did lead to the course being basically empty. It was a great experience to have the course to ourselves. When we played they were almost done construction of all the stadium. Teeing off on the 16th hole with the stadium fully constructed was a little like entering the coliseum. The front nine is nothing spectacular but the back nine is definitely one to remember. It was very cool to be able to tee it up from the same places from the pro's and watch it a few weeks later. We were able to snag a great rate off of golf now otherwise we wouldn't have played. If you can get a deal I'd recommend everyone play this course. Only complain were the greens were rock hard so you couldn't hold very many approach shots on them.

Course was in great shape. Cart path only. We were a three singles paired up and we each had our own cart.

Wow! Being from Minnesota and a frequent visitor to Phoenix to visit my mother who winters there, I had never played the Stadium course. I had always heard that for the money, it was way overrated and so I avoided playing in the past. This year, with a discounted rate after the minor renovations they made, we decided to give it a try. I am very happy I did. The only negative or what I had thought was a negative was they forced a Forecaddie to join us on our round. I was skeptical at first, but after a mutual understanding of what I needed for help, we were happy to have the assistance. The added help looking for errant balls and the raking of bunkers was extremely helpful and allowed for a quick pace of play. The conditions were as close to perfect as you can get as we were playing only 6 weeks away from the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Playing only 6 weeks before the WM Open, they were building all the suites and stands including the stadium on the 16th hole. (See pic) This made the experience that much more fun as we got to get a taste of what the Pros are seeing from inside the ropes. We played one set of tees up from the tourney boxes and it seemed like a great comparison to what the Pros look at for yardages for us weekend warriors. The course is very fair with no blind shots at all. The entire experience was a treat. While this is very pricey for 18 holes, I will definitely play the Stadium course again!

Just an FYI, although GolfNow will advertise that their Hot Deal times at the TPC include a forecaddie...it actually will not. The course does not provide the forecaddie to discounters.

Course was in good shape (the new bunkers are great). Cart path restriction is so burdensome. I think you would walk less if you carried your own bag (which they don't allow).

The back 9 is more interesting than the front 9.

Enjoy!

very nice course with speedy greens, well manicured and friendly staff.

Ok... May be expensive but it was awesome playing at this mythical course! We went on Thanksgiving Day afternoon and had the course practically to ourselves! It was quite amazing!!!! Great condition... Preparing for Waste Management tourney so was cart-path only but that was okay... Easy to understand why they would want it to be at its best! Not sure it was worth over 200$, but for us, it was a perfect golf experience!

I liked the course, was in good shape and the staff and crew was very friendly and welcoming. Other than saying that you played the same course as the pros, not worth the money. The course was nice but not worth all that I paid. Was pretty expensive and like I said, other than saying you played on a PGA tour course you can play somewhere else nicer for less money.

Great day with friends and the course staff are truly what make this a gem. I would recommend using some of your GolfNow Rewards to lower the price a bit unless budget is not an issue but pace of play this time of year was the best of any course I have played. Thank you to everyone there!

The course was in great shape, pace of play was under four hours and the caddie was excellent.

This course was in Fantastic condition. Even after the Waste management open.
The greens are in great shape and the fairways are perfect.
