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.

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.

GREAT CHALLENGE

FUN AND FAIR GOLF COURSE. LOTS OF DIFFERENT HOLES WITH WATER, DESERT, AND TRAPS PRESENTING MANY CHALLENGES. FUN TO PLAY RIGHT BEFORE WM PHOENIX OPEN. FRIENDLY STAFF AND GREAT VALUE FOR DOLLAR. HOPE TO PLAY AGAIN SOMETIME. MOST GOLFERS ON COURSE WERE LOW TO MEDIUM HANDICAP, BUT STILL FAIR TO GOLFERS OF ALL ABILITY.

Awesome experience, if you can handle the heat

Played on a weekday, summer, Phoenix afternoon special. Other than the workers, saw maybe 6 other golfers the entire time. Played solo in 3 hours with no issues. Great layout and fun to play a PGA course. Shot a 76 and double bogeyed 18 but was nice to see how I could stack up on a pro big boy course from the tips. Only suggestion would be GPS on the carts or at least have yardage books (they were out when I played). Overall very satisfied,

Fantastic course, service and facilities

I know that the TPC Scottsdale is not everyone's cup of tea. For me, it was a phenomenal experience to play this challenging layout. It's easy to look at it on TV and say how great the 16th hole is but the entire course is fantastic from your opening tee shot to coming back towards the clubhouse on 18. The staff in the clubhouse is phenomenal as well as on the course. If you can catch this course at the right price I would recommend it to anyone heading out to Arizona

It is great playing this course in late December, early January when they're getting it ready for the waste management open. Just stay out of the rough, it's a killer on the joints in your arms.

Staff is great.

Fun for us, too

The site of the "Greatest Show on Turf" is also a blast for the resort golfer. The TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course is a tour-quality course (most of the year, but especially in the winter) with fairly generous fairways and a number of birdie holes if you play the right tees. Still, one of the thrills is to play the 16th and imagine the largest amphitheater in golf (as it is in the Waste Management Open).
