Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

Friendly, laid back (starter encouraged us to enjoy music through the cart blue tooth!) Fun and challenging because it’s long and greens are fast—-but not impossible because rough is surprisingly forgiving. No slowdown until 15. Will be back!

We were excited to play the Champions Course after playing the Stadium Course previously. We showed up early for our 3:39 tee time and ended up buying a nice bag of goodies in the pro shop. Unfortunately we booked through Golf Now and when one in our party got sick the night before… we had no recourse for the $150.00 fee. The pro shop said they would help if Golf Now reached out to them. Note: call the course directly as they were charged $125.00 for the round.

Outside help were great and got us out early 20 minutes, saying this will give you a chance to get your round in. Perfect, but after four holes taking an hour and standing behind a group on the tee box…with one one fairway and a group on the green of the same hole…with another coming off the previous green, we called the clubhouse checking on help to move things along. No Answer which added to the frustration. Marshal finally came by and said he told others to “move” and that we weren’t going to get our round in. We finished 15 in the dark, and that was after others on the course left and we played three holes in 15 minutes.

We made the turn in 2 hours 40 minutes and waited to tee offfor 15 minutes cuz the slow players went to get food at the turn …. Ughhh. Not a pleasant experience, but not bad for a city municipal. Cheers.

The constant planes flying over head and noise was very disturbing and distracting. We had no idea the Champions course is so close to the Scottsdale Airport Runways. It was hard to enjoy our round. The planes were directly overhead and with private planes crashing a lot lately it was unnerving.

Friendly staff. Good pace of play. Course in great shape. Will play again

Loved the course. The staff from the time you get there is amazing and helpful. Great layout, greens were in excellent condition. Fairways were perfect. Could have used the odd ball washer, food is pricey but minor issues. Overall experience was really good. Price was right too
