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.

Terrible Greens

I had played the course previously December 25 2012. The course was in a lot better shape then. This time in Feb of 2014 the Greens where horrible to put on. Had to much sand. Golf now should have some type of warning when a course Under going some kind of work being done. Tonto Verde has been the best course I have booked on Golf now !!!!!!!!

hmm what to say

I did not think it was worth what I paid for the round. I was paired up with 3 hacks that had absolutely no golfing etiquette, what so ever! they played out of turn and confused and distracted my entire game. Not only that they held up the play of others with no concern at all on chatting time or obtaining drinks...

But all in all, I would still say that the course itself and it's conditions were not worth the cost! Including the cost of what was approximately 12 balls in a bag that I got to practice with for somewhere around 5 to 7 additional dollars! The starter guys was very nice but I was unimpressed with the gal at the desk - who seemed quite snobbish at best, in my opinion

Watch Out For Snakes

We were driving our cart down the cart path and right in front of us was a 4 foot rattler basking in the sun. Someone told me the snakes are out early this year, so beware!!

Less than expected

Based on what I expected for a PGA tour stop course, this came up way short. I play regularly in the Phoenix area (weekly) and have found other courses to be a much better value. There is no reason to play this course other then you can say you played where the pros have played.

A place to play when in Scottsdale

I just played this course recently after the Phoenix open and was impressed with the course. We were 1st out and the course was in pristine condition. Greens were smooth and pretty quick and the course was manicured to my expectations of a course that hosts a tour event. This course is playable from any tee you choose. There is room off the tee but if you stray too far you will find desert area. It was a fun course to play but be careful as during the winter the price may be steep. But if the price is right for you it's a place to may when in the Phoenix area.

Terrible Greens

I played this course 2 years ago and the conditions were good. This time time the waiting to play at every hold was just too much. The greens had a lot of sand in it !! Could not judge the speech of the ball as each green had a little more of less sand. We were not told about the greens before hand, which would have made us think twice about playing. We travelled from BC for a weekend if golf - one day was ruined because of the poor conditions of the course.

Not just about the golf

Played mid-day on Presidents day.Nothing but positives about the course.Greens condition and speed good.Rough thick and difficult.Fairways well maintained.Bunkers well positioned and uniform sand quality.Joined up with a threesome [ hey Lee any Pics.] and teed off on the back nine to start.This would leave you to believe that some maitemence was happening on the front side.We played in just over 4 hours despite having several three and twosomes constantly driving up and us and forcing us to let them play through,this defintely affected the rhythm of our round.Then the beverage cart kept driving up on us while we playing shots and sqeezing her way around our carts.Pretty sure she nicked one trying to get past.There was also some worker on a 4x4 gator zooming all over the course and passing us as we were playing [holes 15,16,3,6. 9] to site a few.On holes 6 and 8 staff mowers were completely unaware of our existence as they continued to mow the rough right around and past us as we played.Actaully cutting off one of the carts in our group.After so many distractions it was diificult to concentrate and enjoy what I had looked forward to since last Nov. would be a memmoarable experience .I personally came a long way to play to get the T.P.C. experience.What I got was frustration at these completely controllable issues and a verbal apology that really didn't cut it.This was not a busy day for the course , we saw the marshall twice and were waived through at the turn like some kind of Nascar event.Not noramally a complainer , but WOW ! they need to go some here at T.P.C. Scottsdale !!

Not worth money

A TPC course should be a quality course. The conditions os the course was on par with the low end courses. Certainly not worth $100

Good Shape..Greens a little bumpy

Played on Sunday with my son. Overall, the course was in good shape and a good, but fair, challenge. Only issue was the greens which were a bit bumpy.

Fun course to play

Nice course, back nine was more challenging due to length, but the greens were a mess. Sanded. Wld have preferred a warning before I booked, would have played somewhere else and came back when the greens were on better shape.

High season

This course was not in good condition. I would rate it fair. Very surprised as it is high season in AZ. Tpc usually has a reputation if good standards.

Local Troon managed courses are in far better condition.

Will likely not play this course again

Great experience

Great day. First time playing a TPC course. Great for all levels. Wide fairways and numerous options for tee blocks for all levels. Beware of the bunkers! The only negative we can give it is that the greens were heavily sanded so not running true. I realize that they have to do course maintainance but we were unfortunate to get them in this condition.

Greens

The greens need improvement, they where not smooth, as expected. Range balls should be included at the price of $100. Course was in good shape for this time of year except greens. Fail value for this course would be $75 total including tax.

Loud, difficult and not in a good shape

If you like aircraft noise, you should play this course. Military aircraft on short final, greens are browns, fairways very narrow, course was crowded from hole # 2 up to #18 . Not much help at the bag drop...

Course was challenging

This was a great course - bunkers very deep and hard to get out of. Greens were slow compared to other local courses and fairways did not have as much roll as other courses in Scottsdale. Otherwise day was great!

Beautiful, challenging course

Really enjoyed this course, it is very well maintained, has great elevation changes, scenic views, and deep bunkers. Not quite as challenging as the stadium course, but an excellent value, a must-play for Scottsdale. The Scottsdale airport is very close, so had some jets coming in to land, but didn't bother our group at all, we had fun with it.

Great experience

For a golfer like me playing where the pros play was a great experience. The fairways were in fantastic shape, the rough was high but all grass (absolutely no weeds or bare spots) and the greens were super fast. Even the desert areas were clean. Playing the 16th hole was awesome especially since the grandstand was still up. 80+ degrees and sunny all day made this a great and fun round of golf!
