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.

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!

Did not live up to my expectations

I have heard a lot of positive things about this and the Stadium course but I was quite disappointed with the conditions. Specifically , the fairways were so bad that on 8 holes I had to reposition my ball to find some grass. I had played at four other courses in the greater Phoenix area which the fairways were all better. Now, with that aside, I enjoyed the course and found it challenging, especially the fairway and green side bunkers. The greens were true and quick, just what I expected. At the end of the round shared my concerns with the pros hop and was reasonably dealt with - great customer service.

Play where the pros play

Day after the Waste Management Phoenix Open we teed it up across the street from the big show. The course was in great shape and has a friendly staff.
Plan to play this course on your next visit to Scottsdale.

not up to standards

huge disappointment for the money. At $80.00 for the round I felt I paid double what it was worth. At best the greens and fairways were of a moderate municipal course level. I suspect all the effort goes into the Stadium course.

I've added it to my never play it again list.

Tee times were 45 minutes behind schedule. The staff was less than friendly, the fairways were horrible and the greens weren't much better. There are way too many other courses to choose from in Scottsdale.

The course was in very good condition and the price was very reasonable. For Scottsdale, the cost and quality of the course makes this one of the best-values around. Well worth it.

Great golfing

This is a great golf outing. Not only was the golf course in great shape but the entire staff were very helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed the practice area, the range, putting green and the chipping and practice sand trap were all in very good shape. We ate at the turn and the food was good and was reasonable. We will be back

T-boxes were moved up

We chose to play from the white tees, around 6,100 yds. However, the t-boxes were moved up on a number o holes which resulted in hitting through the fairway a number of times.
