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.

Great day of golf

Friendly, laid back (starter encouraged us to enjoy music through the cart blue tooth!) Fun and challenging because it’s long and greens are fast—-but not impossible because rough is surprisingly forgiving. No slowdown until 15. Will be back!

Slow Play and No Management

We were excited to play the Champions Course after playing the Stadium Course previously. We showed up early for our 3:39 tee time and ended up buying a nice bag of goodies in the pro shop. Unfortunately we booked through Golf Now and when one in our party got sick the night before… we had no recourse for the $150.00 fee. The pro shop said they would help if Golf Now reached out to them. Note: call the course directly as they were charged $125.00 for the round.

Outside help were great and got us out early 20 minutes, saying this will give you a chance to get your round in. Perfect, but after four holes taking an hour and standing behind a group on the tee box…with one one fairway and a group on the green of the same hole…with another coming off the previous green, we called the clubhouse checking on help to move things along. No Answer which added to the frustration. Marshal finally came by and said he told others to “move” and that we weren’t going to get our round in. We finished 15 in the dark, and that was after others on the course left and we played three holes in 15 minutes.

We made the turn in 2 hours 40 minutes and waited to tee offfor 15 minutes cuz the slow players went to get food at the turn …. Ughhh. Not a pleasant experience, but not bad for a city municipal. Cheers.

Flight path disaster

The constant planes flying over head and noise was very disturbing and distracting. We had no idea the Champions course is so close to the Scottsdale Airport Runways. It was hard to enjoy our round. The planes were directly overhead and with private planes crashing a lot lately it was unnerving.

Super fun course.

Loved the course. The staff from the time you get there is amazing and helpful. Great layout, greens were in excellent condition. Fairways were perfect. Could have used the odd ball washer, food is pricey but minor issues. Overall experience was really good. Price was right too

Incredible Experience

This was top notch experience.

Uber driver took me to wrong course. Staff shuttled me over to the champion course in no time.

The range was very available and spaced well.

The practice putting area so pristine that almost couldn’t see the holes. Staff and players are friendly and I was lucky to be pairs up with a member that gave me the inside tips for each hole.

Played a great round and i feel it was because the course was in such great shape. Thank you TPC !!

Eh

Friendly staff, started on time. Pretty average course conditions, I expected better from a TPC course. Cart girl spotted on #2 and then #13. Poor timing. Didn't see a bathroom on front nine. Had holes designated as cart path only on par 4s that were perfectly dry. No idea why but it was a pain walking across each hole over and over. Would not play here again.

Pay play, carts, staff are a problem

We were on a five hour pace of play and we’re told we were 10 minutes ahead of pace. Waited on every tea. The GPS fencing on the golf cart stopped us several times during the round and finally we had to reverse back to the clubhouse. We were done with that crap after nine and were told they would not credit the second nine because we were 10 minutes ahead of pace. I definitely would not recommend this course!
