Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

Fairways coming around nicely after fall reseeding. Greens are not completely filled in yet, but running pretty well. Traps are raked nicely and filled to a good depth with a lighter sand.

Pro shop staff were very friendly. However, prices for a golf shirt with the TPC Logo on it were outrageous! $111 USD!! Only complaint!

The conditions were great, but the level of difficulty was kind of not there. Greens rolled great, but not super fast. The juicy IPAs after the round were delicious. :-)

Cart path only is not the way to play this course. Enjoyed the exercise, but yardages were difficult to judge selecting clubs at the cart and walking out to your ball. Greens were true, but rock hard & unreceptive unless hitting wedges into green. Fairways recently seeded and had inconsistent lies. Strong cold wind from the North made it uncomfortable, but always enjoy TPC Scottsdale.

greens were VERY slow, VERY bumpy. Fairways were wet, soft, long and in poor condition. Disappointed that we pay expensive rates for very poor conditions.

Staff was excellent, as always, very friendly.

First time playing, impressed with staff, practice area and 19th hole. Course was cart path only, which made for long round. Layout ok, rather long par fours from the white tees?

Course condition good not great, not poor,. The greens were long, slow and some bumpy. Fairways good, sand traps in great condition. Pace was great, but cart path only made things drag a bit.

We had a tee time for Thurs 10/14 and we had to cancel due to one player having a serious heart problem that landed him in the hospital,and I called up to cancel and got a hard time cancelling,telling me we would be charged due to a 72 hr cancellation policy!! And they asked if the other 3 would play,that is outrageous,we spent the night in the hospital and we have to cancel the remaining vacation! I had to lock my credit card out,that is sad!!

Everything was great except the greens & tee boxes that were shaggy….had to hammer your putts, probably time of year. Staff were all great - highly recommend

Played the Champions course for the first time today, although I have traveled to Scottsdale on numerous occasions and played golf at many other very fine courses in the area. The course was in overall good shape - although the greens were very slow due to recent overseeding. The front nine was fairly pedestrian but the back nine has a bit more 'teeth' to it, with four par 4's over 400 yards, two fairly challenging par 5s and two long par 3s from the white tees. The short par 4 15th hole proved to be a true 'risk-reward' hole that got me for trying to 'cut the corner' - and I paid for it. I enjoyed the layout as I thought the course was very playable. Also, the pace of play was reasonable for mid-week and the staff was very friendly all around. Several people told me prior to playing that the Champions course was as much if not more challenging then the Stadium course, but since the Stadium course was closed due to overseeding, I will have to make that judgment or comparison another time.
