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.

Play where the pros play.

Given the heat, the course was in really good shape. I have played here in the summer before when the course was plugged and sanded. This time everything was green. We teed off at 10:00 a.m. and got around in just under 4 hours. It was hot but there was plenty of water and a drink cart was available 4 or 5 times during the round. The cold towels helped also. As you go around the course, you can't help but wonder what its like to play here with 150,000 people watching you.

Great challenge on a famous track

Some of the course was in need of attention due to the excessive heat that area has had this year, nonetheless still very playable. Super demanding from the back tees. Precise shot making a placement is key. Most fun I've had shooting so so in a long, long time.

Great fun to play the course they have the Phoenix Open at

Greens were in very good shape for August. Couple of fairways in not great shape. Sadly, 15 was in poor shape. Overall, great layout with some minor fairway isssues. Price was fair and staff was very nice

Once in a lifetime experience!

I played both courses, starting with Champions. The conditions of the back 9 of Champions were great, whereas the front 9 had been top-dressed. Very interesting layout with a couple of par 4 doglegs that offered great risk reward opportunities.
I played Stadium under light rain but truly enjoyed the experience. The course offers a fascinating variety. We got started on the back 9. The par 5 15 is really interesting, then the first thing you realize you're at the iconic 16. It is sure different without the stands!
Overall, it was a memorable experience!

Over priced poor condition

You pay a lot more to play here, simply because of the name. Fairways were VERY sparse, with almost more mud than grass. Greens were slow and bumpy. Absolutely not worth the price they charge, especially considering the condition and prices at the many good courses in the valley. TPC needs to charge appropriate to their product, not just their name.

Super Layout- Poor conditions

It's too bad they can't maintain the course in better playing conditions. It such a good layout, ruined by the bare dirt areas and the poor greens.

Greens in great shape for this time of year

Tee boxes and greens in great shape for this time of year.
Fairways a little rough in some spots but this was expected,
However it was a great round and great value.
I do wish that balls were provided at the range, not that I mind paying but I feel this course is of higher quality.

Champions Course

We only had to pay $28 to play at 11, that's a fantastic deal! The course was in good shape but never got to play 1-9 because pace of play was terrible. Flew on the back 9 because we never had to wait on slow players. Play this course now while it's cheap, it's definitely worth it!

Enjoyed the round.

The course was in exceptional condition for this time of year in Arizona. The greens were perfect. My only complaint is that they are charging for range balls. I would think a course like the TPC would have complimentary range balls.

Overall experience was excellent and will be back.

All Day Play!!!!

The course was everything you could ask for. It was the cleanest and best taken care of course I have played on yet. We played a total of 54 holes that day. The only negative was the clubhouse attendant was unfriendly. The outdoors attendants were helpful and friendly. What a course!!!!!

All Day Play

We had a great time at this awesome course. It was clean with no used debris at all (broken tees, trash, etc.). We played a total of 45 holes on 19th. We would play again in an instant. The only draw back was the person in the clubhouse was unfriendly. What a course!!!!

While my group and I enjoyed the course we did find that a few more yardage markers or GPS in the carts would have been helpful.

TPC Champions course

This course had just recently aerated their greens so they were quite slow and sandy. Everything else on the course was very nice, the fairways and rough were well maintained, the bunkers were excellent and full of soft sand. I would like to play it again in a few weeks when the greens are back to rolling true.
