TPC Scottsdale has earned a host of honors, including a spot among the top three Arizona golf facilities for service and among the "Top 50 Golf and Resort Destinations in the World," the latter by no less than Conde Nast Traveler.

The Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale sits where the Desert Course did, but offers the thrills of golfing a new course, this one designed by architect Randy Heckenkemper, who did his best to fit the new golf course into the untouched desert land that surrounds it.

The Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale rivals its better-known sibling golf course, the Stadium Course, with all the good looks and good golf one might expect in the Scottsdale area.

Enjoyable round

1st time playing at TPC. Course had a few spots still muddy from heavy rain, but not affecting play, just cosmetic. We were held up by group in front of us, no big deal UNTIL #18 a group behind us felt since it was getting dusk,6:15 they would just cut in front of us even though the group ahead of us was still on tee box. Thanks guys, we didn't get to finish because of your " we first attitude." Staff inside clubhouse and outside were awesome.

Awesome… except

The course was in great condition despite all the recent storms which was impressive. Everything was going well until the 12th hole when the group behind us that had a caddy hit into us, not just on the 12th but also on the 14th green. Once, oopsie. Twice is unacceptable

Consider Other Options

Played during winter time, March 3rd. As a local to the area, I have to recommend other courses over this one. Greens were battered and akin to a muni’ course.

I love TPC Stadium but Champion course was rough.

Pretty flat layout, not much elevation change at all.

Not watering the rough during winter time make note. Fairway and greens only.

So so

Unlike many other courses in the surrounding area, this course is surrounded with distractions. Trains, planes and automobiles., well looks of planes, lots of road noise and when you weren’t getting that lots of unappealing houses,condos. The greens were good, that is a must. Breakfast was nice and the staff and practice areas were fantastic.

A Change From TPC

It’s TPC’s little brother. Very much resortish, but with the lesser price tag of TPC. Layout and course conditions were fine. Staff was friendly and informative. I would play here again and enjoyed the experience.

Too Expensive for the weather.

We flew in the day before our round, but booked the round a week ahead of time. The morning of our round the wind was outrageously steady at 30-40 mph, 44 degrees and it was raining. I called to see if we could reschedule and they said we had to play or lose our money as it would be done raining soon. So we suffered through the incredibly windy and cold round. There were no wind shirts or stocking caps in the proshop to purchase.

Not worth the money!

Terrible pace of play. Teed off at 2:18 and only got 9 holes in over 2:40! Played 4 more only before it got dark. They try and pack too many tee times too close together to get their money but we waited on every single hole way too long! I complained to the starter at the end. No ranger came out to speed up the play! They don’t care. They only want as many people playing with 7 minutes between tee times. The foursome ahead of our threesome needed to be told to move it along!

Overpriced not worth TPC name.

This was a big disappointment . Last of 5 rounds in Phoenix and worst value for the buck. On most holes you are listening to the roar of traffic on Loop 101 or having planes fly over on landing approach. If you are hoping for scenic holes , skip this place, office buildings for scenery.

Greens and fairways were good but rough provided few decent lies, (dead , dry, no grass etc. ) . Desert areas were like construction zones , tractor tracks , piles of dirt and rocks moved by tractors , muddy areas.

We don't mind paying for quality golf but this place was like a $75 muni course , not worth $230. Played the Stadium 2 years ago and it was great. Would not come back.
