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.

Go early & play fast...another great TPC experience

My brother and I went out early, 0650, and finished in just over 4 hours. We, and other 2 with us, set the pace. Was a great way to play.

Course was in great shape, greens were challenging and fast. But we had a super time and really enjoyed the experience. Would like to see the rates lower...there are many great courses in Scottsdale & this is one of them. But it was the most we paid for a round in 5 days of play. Great course & would play again...but not every time i go to Scottsdale.

Staff was friendly both before and after the round.

First Class Experience - It's The Stadium Course of course!

Well worth the money to play this legendary course. It was in fantastic shape from tees to greens. We were paired with a member who informed us they will be shutting down for 6-8 months to redo much of the course (I couldn't see the need for it). Nevertheless, it was truly enjoyable, but keep the pace of play.

Pricey but worth it.

Friendly staff, course in pristine condition, the best course I have played in the Phoenix area. and I have played many great ones in Scottsdale, PV, Phoenix, Peoria etc, but this was the best. The foursome we had all felt the same way.

One of the best maintained courses that I have seen in the past few months. This course is more fun to play than the Stadium course.

only good aspect is to see a tournament course, but would not go back

We would never go back. I have played golf literally around the world and never had a worse experience. The staff did not monitor the course and we had a group behind us hitting into us for the entire back nine - balls hit well beyond where we were in the fairway at the time, and onto the green while we were still walking off. Full unacceptible.

First class golf experience.

I loved the course and overall experience. The only negative was that we were pressured by the marshall when we fell behind a little. He warned us to speed up. We did speed up and eventually caught up to to the group in front of us, but he continued to follow us for several holes, and threatened to make us pick up and move even though there was no one behind us. One warning would have sufficed.

High price for a just okay course

Not any great golf holes one this course . Every hole just average looking no memorable holes. For the price you should receive a fare number of range balls to hit not a small bag. The course looks better when they have the spectator stands in place. I consider TPC Scottsdale a high priced tourist trap. I live and play at Reynolds plantation in Ga. Much nicer place.

Really enjoyed the course

Greens were excellent and the course was in great shape. Fair but challenging course.
The only bad thing was the airplanes landing and the fact we only saw the F & B cart on 1, 10 and 18 as they only had one cart out that day.

Terrible pace of play, longest round EVER!

After a wonderful 5 1/2 hour + round, yes that is right 5.5 hours, was officially the longest round I have ever personally played. The course itself is ok, decent layout, maintained okay, but I would expect a lot better at a TPC course and this certainly did not live up to it's name. The staff seemed friendly. But overall, I don't think I would play this course again, too many other better courses in the area at much better prices and value. Please also note, if you book on golfnow it says the tee times that includes practice balls, well make sure you tell them because they charged both my playing partner and I for practice balls.

Dear Annonymous,
We sincerely apologize for your 5 1/2 hour round. That our normal pace of play. I won't make any excuses for your experience except to say we sincerely apologize. Our policy is 4 hours and 15 minutes and we do use our course advisors to make sure we stay right around this time frame. Sunday was a packed day even with our starter times, but somehow it went south. Our GM will be contacting you personally, but please know we do not accept 5 1/2 hour rounds.
Sincerely,
TPC Scottsdale

Awesomeness

Perfect conditioning, especially the greens. Forgettable front 9 design, but the back 9 was one of the best I've played. Pretty easy off the tee, but 2nd shots and chipping required good touch and distance control. There were lots of false fronts and shaved edges on the greens. Pretty awesome to play a tour track for $99

There's a reason this course hosts a PGA tournament.

Yes, this was the nicest course I have ever played. Yes, conditions were near perfect. And yes, I could never afford to play here without a great Golfnow deal. Thank you.

But it was loads of fun.

Amazing and very challenging.

For someone that appreciates the game, they will love the TPC culture. The wind makes the course very difficult, greens are fast, and it's important to evaluate decisions. The cost is well worth the course, cart, and balls. I believe that Golf Now made a course tht is known to be expensive very affordable. Thank you much.

Now I can say I played it!

If you like to golf many different courses, you must play TPC Stadium.
Excellent shape with tricky greens and tightly mowed fairways.
Be sure to practice your short game before heading on the course.

Great value

Beautiful course, well maintained and a great value at $79. Pace of play was a little slow for mid-week but not too bad. Staff was very friendly and attentive to any player needs. TPC knows how to manage golf courses. Definitely worth playing if visiting the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
