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.

Course was in great condition, although busy. Which is understandable considering the Waste Management tournament was getting set up on the other course. Will definitely go back and play again.

Great Course and Value

Course was in excellent shape. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Played with another couple and a Korn Ferry Pro who was extremely nice and patient with us. It was like playing in a Pro-am with him and he was able to guide us on each hole. Pace of play was 4:10 The planes landing at Scottsdale Airport can be a little distracting and they are close!!

Course in great shape

Pace of play was good with a 4:15 round. Greens were in great shape as the rest of the course.

They could use a little more help at the bar/restaurant as we waited 10 minutes to get our pre ordered food at the turn.

Stuck behind a tournament

The course was great and we were paired with a fantastic fun couple. Our only challenge was playing behind super slow event making the front 9 2-1/2 hours and waiting on every shot to then have a bunch of groups chasing daylight on the back 9. Overall a great course.

Not with the money,

The course was in good shape, but there were groundskeepers out on every hole with very distracting loud machines that kept going while you were playing. We played midday so it was a surprise that they were mowing the grass within 50 yards of the green. There are other courses that offer beauty, better conditions and value.

The staff were very friendly. The restaurant at Stadium course is outstanding.
