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.

What a treat

Played TPC for the first time and it was perfect start to finish. From the practice facilities to walking off 18 this course did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed having Jax, our provided caddie, on the bag with us. The course knowledge was a big help for sure. 10/10 would recommend.

Somewhat disappointed...

Cart path only is not the way to play this course. Enjoyed the exercise, but yardages were difficult to judge selecting clubs at the cart and walking out to your ball. Greens were true, but rock hard & unreceptive unless hitting wedges into green. Fairways recently seeded and had inconsistent lies. Strong cold wind from the North made it uncomfortable, but always enjoy TPC Scottsdale.

Poor conditions yet full price.

greens were VERY slow, VERY bumpy. Fairways were wet, soft, long and in poor condition. Disappointed that we pay expensive rates for very poor conditions.

Staff was excellent, as always, very friendly.

Needs to be on your bucket list

Great outing, fairways and greens in excellent condition. Greens roll true and at a good pace . Front nine not to

memorable or exciting but the back nine makes up for it. A little pricey but what do you pay for a memory ?

Pretty nice

I don’t get why this place gets a bad reputation. Some iconic hole as seen on TV and video games. It’s a tour course, why not get a chance to play from tips like pros. Not many other places let you play actual tips. Greens were true but a little slow. I was a single with my wife riding along and i finished in two hours. Talk about perfect. This was on a Tuesday and A few people let me pass. I can see it being very busy on weekends. But green grass everywhere there should be, nice practice facility. I had a great time. Sure a plane flies over here and there and I feel $160 is still a tad high for august. Glad I did it not instead of $400 in winter. Great course.

A beautiful layout you need to play

Playing a course that is a regular stop on the tour is humbling. You see their shots and your imagination plays tricks with you as you imagine playing some of the same shots. Then you realize, you are a 16 handicap, not a tour player, and the course is an indeed challenge to play. Yet, it is a fun course to play with superb fairways and greens even in the summer when I played. It can be costly and you need some advanced planning to score a good tee time but persist, and you will have your own memories of the two or three tour level shots you hit whihc always keep us coming back for more.
