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.

True Gem in the Desert

Played Champions course yesterday and enjoyed it as usual. Course was in fantastic shape for August. Greens were in immaculate condition. Fairways and tee were lush and green. This place is always on my list to play whEn I come to Scottsdale.

Very Slow Pace

The course is in good shape for this time of year. There are a couple of holes being repaired but it doesn’t effect your ability to play. The staff all around the course were very helpful and the restaurant had good food. The pace on the front 9 was great, once we hit the turn we were waiting 10-20 minutes on the tee box. There was a foursome two groups ahead of us that were very slow. There was no marshal on duty and the group was not courteous enough to let people play through. To make it worse there were several holes that were cart path only. The slow play really made the experience less than enjoyable.

Great Course For Good Price

This course is always a great play, but have to look out for a fair price for a tee time. If your paying $110+ you may want to wait for a deal as I usually do.

Pace of play a bit slow

Group ahead was drinking and having a good time but not keeping up pace. Also did not rake any traps or sand any divots. Parts of course under construction but did not affect playing areas. Staff very friendly.

Rain check policy is terrible!

Ended up only playing 9 holes because of monsoon rain and lightening...only got back 30% of what we paid! Should have just given us a 9 hole rain check instead...Our cart also had a GPS that didn't work, they brought us a new cart, but not until we were on hole #5...very disappointed with all of this because course was in great condition and we were looking forward to playing here...

Those guys are good!

What a track! As a 15hcp with an average drive of 240, still played the blues. Was still able to pull off a 93.

Greens were much slower than anticipated.

The Course Was In Better Shape Than My Swing

The course was in outstanding overall condition. I played like I’d never held a club before, but I don’t hold it against the course.

Great value

Great price for a quality round. The grass is green and the fairways are not burnt and patchy. Hard to find in mid summer. A lot of other courses are in rough shape, but not here. Lots of airplanes flying low over the course, but I actually found that cool. Would def play again.

Great shape

Fun course and it was in great shape. The greens were fairly slow but in great shape. Verti-cut, mow and top dress, greens will be pure.

Fun afternoon ended early due to weather.

Happy to have had a chance to play it. There are a lot of courses I like better as I enjoy not being right by a major highway, the 101. There are so many wonderful courses in the mountains throughout the greater Phoenix area that we prefer to play.
