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.

Sandy Greens

Played this course the the first time today and I had higher expectations as to the overall quality. The course had just reopened after being punched, but there was no notification of this when booking a tee time, otherwise I may have waited for another occasion to play and played a course in better condition.

The greens were very very sandy and the ball was not rolling true on quite a few holes. I know they have to do this to maintain the course over the long run but this should be notified when booking. Some of the fairways were also very wet and soggy in patches.

The layout is very good.

Great track!

Having played the Stadium course earlier in the week we were looking forward to playing the Championship course. It didn't disappoint, the consensus from our group was that it was a better layout than the Stadium course. Enjoyed playing both and would definitely play again next time.

Enjoyable day playing golf. Played with a family from Missouri and this was a great family to enjoy the game of golf.

Very nice course, great layout, a little long for me from the whites, but still fun. Definitely will play in the future when I travel to Arizona.

Fun Day

.

Fun day! This is a course that I have been wanting to play. The holes layouts were challenging. The t boxes and green were in good shape as well as bunkers had sand. The fairways looked nice but for a sunny day, were wet. Maybe some over watering since the fairways were cut short. I would play again but too pricy for the cost.

Poor course management

The course was somewhere I looked forward to playing. However, the intoxicated people in front of us and behind us made for a very unpleasant experience. Driving erratic and stopping on brakes to hear the squealing of tires repeatedly. Standing around talking and not committing to the pace of play as there was no help on the course to manage the behavior. Groups standing on greens taking pictures as we were waiting to hit. Hard to enjoy a course you look forward to playing with the inappropriate behavior of other guests.

Enjoy playing this course.

I have played this course several times and I enjoy it every time. Staff were very friendly and the course was in good shape. The bar outside is also a great spot to grab a drink and some food!!

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.
