Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

We went to the course to experience the stadiums that are in place this time of year. That in itself is worth the expense one time. However, this was my 3rd. time to do this, so other factors came into play. The forecaddie system is mandatory, and personally I don't enjoy it. There is a lot of talking with the caddie trying to engage with all 4 members of the foursome and it did not help the pace of play. Our round was about 4.5 hrs.

Second time playing the course.. Overall experience from start to finish was good. Will pay again

Our trip to TPC Scottsdale might be one of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve played. The entire day was a great experience. I’ve watched the tournament on TV so many times but actually playing it was even more fun than I thought it would be.

The practice facility might be the nicest I’ve ever seen. With an afternoon time, we were sent off No. 10 to start, I think to make sure we got to play the closing stretches of holes that are so well known. We stopped to see the “Tiger” plaque in the desert left on 13 and that was cool to see. As a hacker, it was amazing to par holes 15-17! My tee shot on 16 probably would have been booed as I JUST missed the green. My ball was a few inches onto the collar but I two-putted for a 3. No. 18 is a monster and the tee shot for the pros from the back tees looks terrifying.

After the high of playing the famous inward nine, the front nine was just OK. I was surprised there were so many houses close to the cart paths on the first couple holes. The green complex on 3 with all the tiers was extremely difficult to putt. The par 3s on 4 and 7 are challenging but the last two holes weren’t that interesting to us as we were rushing to finish before it got dark.

No doubt that it is a REALLY costly round but needs to be experienced at least once. I’m glad I played it and can check it off my bucket list. Not so sure I’d want to play it again, mostly due to the price, but would happily do so at a cheaper rate. Can’t wait to watch the WMPO!

Course was absolutely perfect and honestly the price was way less than I would have thought for the quality of the course.

My wife and I had a wonderful golfing experience at the Champions Course. Every aspect was outstanding from the entire staff from the cart attendants to the food and beverage services. Thank you TPC for a special day!

Course was simple to point of lacking imaginative layout. Staff friendly but didnt feel it was comparable to other courses in area that charged less. Plus cartpath only conditions were unreasonable the course was dry despite rain the night before.
