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.

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.

Too needy in asking for a review

stop asking me 5 times to review your course. I don’t care and I really don’t care 5 times. You are more whiney that a 3 year old at the grocery store. I don’t have a problem with you aslking 1 TIME, But, more than once is too many, and that is why you get a terrible review.

No consideration for people

I went early and got absolutely no service. The two waitresses didn't even acknowledge me. I have MS and I'm a diabetic and could not get any service at all. It is the last time I will ever golf there. Brutal treatment of a Handicapped Seniot.

Thank you for nothing

Good course!

Course was in excellent shape with a great range and off course amenities. Employees were fantastic - always a smile on their face and willing to help. Pace of play was slow the day we played. Will be back to play the Stadium side (was closed for overseeding). I would play this course again, but only if the price is much lower as we've played better courses for much less.

Way Over-Priced

When I made my tee time a couple months ago, the last thing I expected was to have a cart that couldn’t leave the cart path! One of our players had a pedometer and walked 3.65 miles! I have foot issues and was extremely disappointed by this. What good is a cart that you really don’’t use??? Also the greens were the slowest I have ever played in my life!! Terrible value!!!
