Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

Great layout. As a high handicap I found it enjoyable and not too difficult from the white tees. Would play again

Every thing is perfect, but prices are still high.

I’ll start with the staff, everyone of the staff that we came in contact with was exceptionally friendly and helpful!

The course was in very good condition, especially for this time of the year.

This was my son’s and I first visit and we will definitely be back again.

Great experience and we will definitely be back!

Make me want to continue to play TPC. From the fellows that greet you on arrival to the young lady at the outside bar, it’s first-class all the way. Highly recommended!

It's double or triple what you will pay at other courses, but the last few holes make it worth it.

Perfect driving range, completely flat, short cut grass that wasn't too beat up. Chipping green was in outstanding condition.

Cart path only, wet in the morning, front 9 isn't too interesting outside of the stands on the #1 tee box. Thick 2 inch rough around all the fairways. Perfect greens. Short cut tees and fairways. Sand in the bunkers was being replaced with tour-quality sand which was firm.

Carts had good GPS that you never end up using because your caddy will shoot the number for you. I drove on the cart path on 16 and the cart still shut down which was odd. Great grill at turn with a diverse menu and you can put in orders ahead of time.

So many fun holes to play on the back 9. 10 was a dogleg with stands surrounding the green. 14 was a long par 4 to an uphill green. 15 has a tight tee shot to an island green. 16 has 20,000 seats around you. 17 is a reachable par 4 from the blues. 18 is a fun uphill finishing hole with a tight landing area over water/bunkers.

Biggest issue was pace of play. Took 5+ hours to complete the round. There was a slow foursome of 20-somethings that were over a hole behind the group in front of them, with no desire to speed up at the ranger's request. This course will attract that crowd.

Felt a lot like other courses in the area that come in cheaper than what a TPC branded course commands in price.

A few fun holes. #5 has a horseshoe fairway surrounded by bunkers and you have to carry over water. #15 is a very reachable par 4. #1 and #18 have water running along the left side of the fairway. Outside of that, there's no great elevation changes, or views that you wouldn't get elsewhere.

The course plays long and narrow, the rough was dead rye (?) grass like most courses in the area with overseeded painted fairway grass. The rough around the greens was dead thick bermuda that was difficult to chip in. Greens were smooth and fast throughout. Traps had a good amount of sand. Tee boxes and fairways were cut to good lengths.

Hot dogs at the turn were $10. No provided water bottles in cooler. Carts had GPS but ended up locking when I went 4 feet off the cart path to get out of the way for other carts, then would not unlock.

Best thing about the course was the pace of play. Finished in under 4 hours. The price tag keeps the Bluetooth speaker crowd out.

The course is a golfer's paradise, boasting picturesque views and challenging greens that keep you on your toes. A premier destination blending scenic beauty with an exciting golfing experience, making it a must-visit for any enthusiast.

Lots of divots in the fairways (well played) and golfers should repair to help out. Greens in good shape and pace of play excellent 3:50 hr round on a sunny day. Great staff in all areas. Would recommend the course
