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.

Must play

First time playing at TPC Scottsdale. The champions course was in great shape. We started on ten which was fine. We were lucky enough to be paired with a member so that helped with course knowledge. For the price I would definitely play there again

TPC Champions Course

9-4-2020. Booked a round for 50.00 via Golfnow. Was inexpensive for this course during Covid-19, even though it is summer and a lot of the Golf courses charge much higher rates than in typical summers past. Greens were true, Fairways plush, and traps were soft sand. Pretty course. And as long as you don’t mind the constant hum of Planes and Jets landing and taking off from the Scottsdale Airpark, it is a great course. Sometimes it is too $$$$. That is why I haven’t been here in a couple of years. Welcoming Staff, free range balls, great on course cart service.

Enjoyable Playing Experience

First time playing this course and I liked it a lot. Moderate difficulty, not problematic, and a pace of play that was outstanding at less than four hours. Staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. The greens weren't perfect due to what looked like a somewhat recent aerification, but nothing troubling at all.

Number ONE in my book

I have been very fortunate to get to play a lot of good golf course living out here in AZ. That being said I am going to rank this number one in my book. The gentleman that greeted me right when I pulled up very polite and very knowledgeable and it did not stop there. I wish I got the guys name in the pro shop.He also was very polite and knowledgeable. Now to the golf course what a gem. The course was in excellent condition. The tee boxes nice and flat and the fairways were like hitting off carpet.The only small complaint would be the bunkers need a little bit more sand in them. The greens were rolling very true not to fast but not slow. Do yourself a favor and play this course for 56 bucks you can not go wrong

rude staff

Ranger was extremely rude. We were playing as a 4-some as I had my wife and her two teen-age nieces from out of state playing with us. We let 1 single player play through on hole #2 as course was not crowded at all.

At hole seven we were informed by the ranger that we were two holes behind pace and we needed to pick it up. I told him we would play ready golf to try to oblige him as I had been instructing the girls a bit with their game but by no means were we holding anyone in site up. we were only playing 9 holes even though we paid your club for a full 18. The ranger continued to follow us on hole 8 and hole 9 and was pressuring us badly. my wife and her two nieces got so upset 1/2 way through 9 and just picked up.

That is un-excusable etiquette and professionalism on behalf of your ranger. Without engaging this younger generation and providing them some patience and understanding there will be no golf future. When the old timers die the game of golf and the courses will dry up. Youth are our future for the game and I was trying to provide them a pleasant round of golf with their aunt and mys elf on a nice course and be a good steward of the game.

Your old man ranger on his cart ruined that experience for them. he should realize that there is more to the game than just his old time golf buddies that rule the course their way. By the way... we finished our round of nine holes in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Pretty dam good by my book. Not sure what point your ranger was trying to make.

We recently relocated to the area and you lost our future business due to the rudeness of your staff.
