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 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.

Golf in the flight path

Champions iis very good layout. Sadly, right in line iwith Scottsdale airport and it’s busy. No Marshall and pace was slow. Course in really good shape. A little pricey, but comparable to other courses. Wold play again.

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.

Worth the trip

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Food and beverage service was very good and pro-shop staff very friendly. Well worth the drive and would recommend to anyone looking to play a championship level 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.

Plain Jane course

Course was in great shape. Very unimpressed, people play here because of the name. Nothing interesting, no signature holes and there are far more beautiful courses in AZ. Would not play again.

TPC Do better

Had an 8:00 am tee time on a Sunday, arrived at 7:25. Check in was great, hit some balls at the range and putted for a minute or two. We were paired with two local guys who were chill. I was underwhelmed by the course. Greens were kind of beat up, and the course had no really interesting or memorable holes. Cart path only because they had overseeded. Finished in about 4 hours. Went to the bar afterwards to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Waited an hour and a half for a cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich!!! When people that sat down after us got their food before we did, we asked about our order and we were told they were cooking it. Then we were told that they never got the ticket in the kitchen. Then we were told they had to get the cart orders done first so they did not slow pace of play down. If you are going to play in Phoenix/ Scottsdale area, do yourself and favor and play somewhere else. It was very evident that the staff here could care less about visitors, and preferred to take care of their regulars. I played at a TPC course and for $200 I expected better.

Staff

The bag drop employee was very rude when I went to drive the cart to the range area. I was fine with their rules of not taking the carts over there, but the approach was all wrong.

Please Provide Bottled Water

I don't understand why with the amount of money charged this facility does not provide bottled water. It is a bit of a slap in the face to pay what these courses are charging and not include a couple of bottle of water. Other than that slight annoyance the experience was good.
