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.

There are so many better courses for the $ in Scottsdale

Staff is friendly but starting times were 20-30 minutes late and pace of play was painful...even for a Sunday afternoon. Course is generally in nice condition but it is very wide-open and just not that interesting. So many better courses in Scottsdale...especially for the $.

good features

It would be good to see a little more marshalling.
Next time during overseeding we will call to see if it is
cart path only. If you have two people in a cart there is too
much going back and forth to the cart to get clubs, measuring
and such.
Price point should br reduced a little more at this time.

I play golf alot in Washington, AZ and Palm Desert. It would be
nice to see "cartpath only" on the golfnow website that I booked
this reservation.

Not the Stadium course but ok

Played on 10/12/12 got a rate of $89 on Golf Now and was well worth that, I do not think I would pay the standard rate of $139 to play it again, there are several other couses in the area I would play for that rate or a little more

A classic course and a must play for your bucket list!

Early morning tee time resulted in quite a bit of dew. Some groundskeepers seemed aloof to the golf going on around them, and did not clear for shots for prolonged times. Course was in wonderful shape, with well maintained greens. The excitement of being on a course which was well known from television exposure was enjoyable.

Did not live up to Hype

The course was in the worst condition of the 7 we played this trip. Rude construction workers made comments and laughed while golfers were playing. The staff was far from friendly and sent twosome after twosome out so a 4 some playing in less than 4 hours had to let 3 groups through. I sent an email to them over a month ago and never got a response. Was not worth the 45 paid and no where near the 200 they normally charge.

You can eat off the fairways as well as the greens!

Better than the carpet in my home this course is kept in as good a condition as any course I have ever played. Although the cost is a bit high, the conditions warrant the fee charged. It's like they cut each blade individually so that you get that special feeling. Very challenging back 9 with lots of water. Don't miss the plaque dedicated to Tiger Woods.

amazing yet bad greens

the fairways were incredible the staff was very friendly and the price was amazing. only problem was the work they were doing on the greens. the greens were in excellent condition in the middle but all around the perimeter of the green was being worked on and was unplayable. that was the reason for the great price and it hardly effected play at all so it was well worth it. had they not been under construction it would have been perfect. its impressive really, how they were able to get the construction done on the greens but still remain a top shape course. if i had the money i would go back and play the normal conditions but because its quite expensive i will likely wait for another deal such as this. i think every avid golfer should try and play this course at least once because the experience is unforgettable

The course was in great shape and was challenging

The course was in very good shape. The greens are very tough to read and fairly big. The weather was good, staff was friendly and cooperative. I played with three nice young guys - all in all a good experience.

Thrilling

I've seen the pros playing it every year on tv and have dreamt about playing the 16th hole. What a thrill to actually play it and imagine the 50k fans cheering and booing around the par 3, 16th. Loved it, loved the staff, and the guys I played with were a ball! Can't wait to do it again.

Walk in the footsteps of giants.

Walking in the footsteps of giants is how I felt walking as I stepped onto the first tee. If you are not a regular player here then you have to play off of the back tee's. It makes the course long but if you want the full experience of playing where the greats have played then you have to play from the back. There are some very long par 4's which you will need to be hitting well to make the greens in 2. The 16th and 18th are both great holes which get a lot of TV airtime when the Phoenix Open is being played so savor the moments.
Can't fault the staff. All very friendly and helpful.
