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.

Would like to see the pace of play no more than 4.5hrs

The course is good shape considering the amount of play it gets. The pace is usually good and the price is reasonable for the caliber of the course.

Great Location/Views Undone by Poor Quality of Carts and Start/Play Delays

Pro Shop staff were excellent. But... Tee time was delayed nearly 30 minutes and the only apparent reason given was "availability of carts." The carts finally provided were of poor quality, one had significant brake issue that was simply shrugged off by staff and starter. Due to significant dealy in start, we did not finish the round as the last 3 holes were stacked up 2-3 deep on the tees. My prior experiences with this course were all favorable - this one was a disaster with new guests questioning the venue. Something has now gone wrong with this location -

The Stadium Course was in excellent condition even tho they had equipment dismantling the stands.

The Stadium Course rates right at the top of professional courses. Tyler, our forecaddy gave us good advise on shot placement and targets. Wide fairways and great greens. Would definitely play again.

Not worth it

For a $360 golf outing after green fees and caddy tip, you can find much better courses to play and for $100 less. I've played courses in Maui and California for about $170 less that were a much more memorable experience and had more spectacular scenery. The greens were mowed nearly bald so that you could see dirt and the ball was sailing off every one unless you happen to hit your highest degree lob wedge in front of the pin. Fairways and tee boxes were well maintained, but that's expected for a pro course. They were taking down the bleachers in the middle of the day on Hole 16, so getting a decent photo was a strategic endeavor. Unless I just missed them, the only bathrooms on the course itself were portables that hadn't been emptied in a while. If your goal is taking in a pro experience and history, go play Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach or just about any pro course in Hawaii. I'm sure there are other courses in Arizona that are just as good without the price tag. Caddy was average, and I could have bought a distance scope for the tip I paid, which was pretty much all that he helped with anyway other than the few times he was able to successfully point out where my ball went. The greens even baffled him since he guessed those wrong too.

Playing the 16th.; Wicked!!

Thru Rain,Sleet & Snow we got 15 holes in. Fortunately, we teed off Back 9 1st. so able to play 16th.Using Fore Caddy was positive as Scott was a big help & kept play moving. Staff very professional & friendly. Wife did comment that Pro Shop was very Male driven & Women`s section understated.

Expensive, but worth playing at least once.

Challenging course. Pricey, but fun to play at least once, especially the back nine.

The course was nice but definitely not like the Stadium Course.

The greens had a lot of ball marks on them and there were a lot of divots all over the course. It appeared that it is played a lot.

Nice and playable

While I can't think of many negatives, there is nothing that jumps out as a "WOW" here either. The layout is very fair, staff very friendly, and conditions good. Didn't think much of the airplanes overhead and its a bit tighter then I think it should be, as it is really not the course that will be the challenge choice for a 5 handicapper or a true destination type. That said a nice way to spend an afternoon and had a great time.

Must play

The staff is great, but the course is beautiful and if you think it's easy we'll your in for a disappoint,ent. Narrow and challenging. The greens make you play defensive. Fast but true make sure you see the break ( there is a break trust me) going to go play again soon.

A great layout

If you decide to try this course be prepared for a 4hr plus round. Many players are slow and waiting to play your shot seems common. I would recommend playing with friends. At least one friend. I was a single and was paired with 2 below average golfers and looked for lost golf balls all round.
The course was beautiful and the greens were smooth and fast. The views were also enjoyable. The staff was friendly. The practice area was very good. Finally, If they put you with golfers who are below average then it detracts from the experience. It also makes the cost to play seem high. Overall I was happy to be at this course and experence the TPC Scottsdale.

Played after Waste Menagement

Played course Wednesday after Waste Management tournament. Scoreboards, TV tower and stands were still up. Playing 16 with stands was awesome! Put tee shot 15 feet right of pin.
Without Tournament remnants, Stadium course would be okay but very expensive. (Requires fore caddy.)
Champions course is a very good deal, much less expensive and much lower key.
Courses are in the middle of Scottsdale so really scenic.

Amazing course maintenance

I golfed this course 5 days after the PGA Tour players finished the Waste Managment tournament. The fairways were amazing the greens were perfect and I didn't see 1 piece of trash anywhere. The grandstands,still in place,were the only indication that 1000's of people were walking around the course all week long. A++ to the staff!!

No military discount green fees?

Great course. Rewards good shots. With the Birdies for the Brave and Wounded Warrior programs one must wonder why the TPC courses here in Phx don't offer military discounts for our active duty and retired military. TPC Las Vegas offers these discounts. The green fees still aren't cheap, but at least they honor the military service members.
