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.

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!!!

Solid late summer conditions. Played on a reduced rate of $69 which was a steal round took 3:30. Staff is excellent. Not a course I'd go out of my way to play but under $100 it's a quality option. Definitely not as stunning of views as similar priced courses in the vicinity at full rack bit it's a quality facility and course if you can get a good rate.

Awesome day

Friendly greeters took clubs set up carts, fast efficient. Starter friendly and informative. Excellent course conditions for September. Disappointed no ice at water cooler but beverage lady visited frequently and offered ice. Pace of play was great. Foursome in just over 4 hours. Will definitely be back, actually more enjoyable the the Stadium course

Great summer conditions

Enjoyed the TPC Champions course for the first time It was well maintained both fairways and greens. Pace of play was great on the front nine, just a bit over 2 hrs, and then back nine slowed to over 2 and half hours. I’ll be playing this course again.

Great round at a beautiful course

This course lived up to the hype. The grass was great. Pace of play was awesome. Finished the round in less than 4 hours. Summer rates were reasonable and comparable to other similar courses in the area. Greens were perfect.

Almost perfect

The staff was very accommodating, the course, being a Pete Dye course Is an Engineering win, carving a course out of the desert, and the conditions were very well except for the speed of the greens. I believe they were not cut short to prevent them from scorching in the hot summer heat. It created somewhat of a bouncy, slow roll for puts. I would recommend a visit here any day of the week, but if you have a lot of stray shots, the carts will not go into the desert, so bring some extra balls! The course was fair, were very well designed, and my experience in Phoenix was all the more enhanced by golfing the Champions course.

Fun layout, good shape.

Course was in great shape for this time

of year. Challenging, but fair. Pace of play was excellent, not many people out. Greens were in good shape, fairways solid. Only issue was that most of the water jugs were empty, which is not ideal when it’s nearly110 degrees outside.

First Time at a TPC Course

I had a very enjoyable experience at The Champions course at TPC Scottsdale. The conditions were so far and above most golf course here in the summer and the staff was friendly and helpful. I even played half way decent! Great time and a great round. I’ll definitely be back.
